Sometimes large problems in a person are caused at first glance with insignificant causes, for example, the appearance of microorganisms, subcutaneous parasites.No one is safe from them, so it is necessary to have at least a general idea about this.
The main varieties of parasites
Among all the parasites, the object of which is human skin, skin and subcutaneous are different.The former do not pose a serious danger to people, since they do not provoke diseases.Parasites feed on human skin with his blood.The second group makes its way into the thickness of the skin, leaving eggs and larvae there.Such parasites in the body should become an object of close attention.
If the parasites settled under the skin, then they never remain in one place, but begin to move around the fabrics in various directions.This most often leads to the most severe, sometimes incurable, ailments.
The parasites are very small and are not visible to the naked eye.Doctors discover their whereabouts, listening to patient complaints, analyzing symptoms, signs and identifying the likely ways of infection with helminths.
The most common:
- demodecosis;
- Filyariosis;
- scabies;
- cystiscose;
- Dracuncture;
- ankylostomidosis;
- Shistosomosis.
Each of the listed parasites can cause:
- pancreatitis;
- diabetes mellitus;
- eczema;
- psoriasis.
Features and manifestations of infection with parasites
The most common parasites in humans are scabies that usually live in the deep layers of the epidermis.In the afternoon, they are busy searching for food, eating sebum and cosmetics.At night, they return to their shelter again, while causing severe itching.Rashes and multiple bubbles are formed on the skin.People are often infected from animals, but the transmission of infection from a sick person is not excluded.
The subcutaneous worms and parasites include dragonculosis (Riste Worm).Some individuals reach a length of up to 120 cm. Worms are most often found in the tropics.It’s easy to become infected with them, it is enough to swim in a polluted reservoir.Having penetrated the body, the worm lingers there for years.
These subcutaneous worms choose a person’s leg as an object, causing:
- joint inflammation;
- contractures;
- gangrene;
- blood poisoning.
Demodecosis is a parasitic tick that chooses the sebaceous glands in the skin for its habitat.Symptoms of the disease in humans are observed in the form of abundant acne on the cheeks, forehead and around the eyes, eyelash loss is often observed.
Another representative of the subcutaneous worms in humans is cystiscosis.The causative agent is a larva of pork tapes.Infection of the body occurs through non -fed water or food.Worms are localized in:
- areas of internal organs;
- brain;
- eyes;
- muscles and under the skin (palms, chest, shoulders).
In the body, worms live for many years, manifesting in the form of symptoms similar to urticaria (rashes).Under the skin, swelling, thickening are formed, which eventually become quite dense.
The inhabitants of African and Asian reservoirs are worms that provoke schistosomosis.Worms affect the skin and genitourinary system.The main symptoms are expressed:
- itching;
- rashes;
- dermatitis;
- abundant sweating;
- kidney damage;
- Increase in the liver.
Another inhabitant is the subcutaneous worm of the filariasis.It is considered the most dangerous look among parasitic helminths, since the Golist is able to multiply in the human body for many years, without showing itself at first.However, over time, the infected people begin to observe symptoms similar to the urticaria, then there are problems with vision, hillocks are formed under the skin, and all the fever ends.
Before traveling to hot countries, conduct a vaccination that prevents infection with gelmin worm.
Diagnosis of pathologies
Successful treatment of a person from diseases caused by worms takes place with proper diagnosis.The difficulty is that the symptoms of parasites are often similar to other pathologies of internal organs, as well as signs of allergies.
To prescribe the correct therapeutic course, which is guaranteed to remove subcutaneous helminths from the body, it is necessary to determine a specific type of pest.For this purpose, various laboratory studies are conducted:
- Direct diagnosis of parasites using strokes and scrapings taken from the mucous membranes.Such procedures are justified in cases where worms are clearly visible in various areas of the skin, accompanied by specific signs - redness and blisters;
- A blood test in which antibodies are found that form in the process of struggle of immunity with parasites.As a result of the life of subcutaneous worms, substances are thrown into the body that can neutralize the protective properties of antigens.This leads to a complete weakening of a person due to illness, which is found in the blood test.
For accurately determining the parasite, examinations are carried out:
- saliva;
- hair;
- eyelashes;
- feces;
- the contents of acne and blisters on the skin of the patient.
For timely diagnosis of the disease, a person who noticed atypical itching and skin lesions should turn to specialists, and not one, but to several: an allergist, a dermatologist, an infectious disease specialist and a neuropathologist.
Therapy of diseases
Methods of treating the results of the vital functions of parasites are diverse and associated with the amount, level of skin lesions, symptoms, as well as localization places.Almost every occasion should be treated individually.Regardless of symptoms, there are a number of traditional methods of parasite therapy.
The elimination of ticks under the skin of a person is carried out using various medications that can destroy subcutaneous worms and other types of pests.In many cases, doctors prescribe ascaroid medicines.
In the course of therapy, antihistamines and ointments or gels with antibiotics should be included.It is advisable to add vasoconstrictive drugs like adrenaline-reisorcinic solution to drugs to combat parasites.Only the correct choice of treatment and dosage scheme will successfully expel pathogenic pests from the human body.
When the parasite affects the internal organs of a person (for example, Dranculez), doctors resort to surgical intervention.Before performing the procedure, it is necessary to prescribe a comprehensive examination that allows you to detect the location of the worm in the body.Sometimes worms can be even in the brain.
You can get rid of parasites living under the skin using a conservative methodology and surgical intervention.Therapy sometimes lasts quite a long time, especially with hidden symptoms, so it is useful to add traditional medicine to traditional drug treatment in addition to traditional drug treatment.
Measures for the prevention of parasites
The struggle against subcutaneous parasites is sometimes delayed for years, and inaction is fraught with the most unprofitable consequences.The traditional foci of distribution of parasites include water, products, sick people and non -compliance with hygiene rules.
The recommendations of doctors for the prevention of such diseases include the following rules:
- Before eating, you should certainly wash your hands with soap.The same must be done after being in public places, for example, in transport;
- You can not use other people's clothes - neither for wearing, or even for fitting;
- Food before use should certainly be washed;
- The affected areas of the skin immediately treat with antiseptic and disinfectant drugs.
