Epidermophytide

Epidermophytis is a skin disease caused by a fungus of the genus Epidermophyton. It is characterized by the appearance of secondary lesions of the skin away from the primary lesion.

The cause of epidermophytitis is the spread of the fungus from the primary focus (for example, interdigital athlete's foot) through the lymphatic vessels and blood capillaries. As a result, small papules, vesicles, and scales appear on the skin of the torso, limbs, and face.

For diagnosis, microscopy of scales from the affected areas is performed, which makes it possible to detect mycelium and fungal spores.

Treatment includes topical and oral antifungals and treatment of the primary site of infection. The prognosis with adequate therapy is favorable.

Prevention of epidermophytosis consists of timely detection and treatment of dermatophytosis, wearing clean underwear, and observing personal hygiene rules.

Epidermaphytria is a dermatological infection caused by the fungus Malassezia spp. that affects the scalp, face and other areas of the body. This condition is also known as "seborrheic dermatitis" or "seborrhea".

Epidermaphytria manifests itself in the form of inflammatory papules, spots or scaly areas that can appear in different parts of the body and cause itching, peeling and other unpleasant symptoms. Affected parts of the body may become inflamed, which can lead to more serious conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.

In some cases, this infection can become chronic due to lack of proper treatment and prevention. However, do not confuse epidermaphytria with acne vulgaris. Therapy for epidermaphtia includes the use of antifungal drugs, including topical drugs with ketoconazole and other drugs. It is important to see a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and choosing the right treatment. In severe cases, surgery may be required to remove the affected areas of skin.

Prevention of epidermatitis is maintaining personal hygiene, avoiding synthetic clothing and cosmetics with a high content of oils, thoroughly washing hands after contact with animals and objects, and most importantly, proper nutrition.
