Flyktena Solitary

Phlyctaena solitaris is a rare skin disease characterized by the appearance of single blisters on the skin.

Causes

The exact cause of solitary phlyctena is unknown. It is believed to be an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks its own skin cells. An allergic reaction to some external factor is also possible.

Symptoms

The main symptom is the appearance of individual blisters with a diameter of 1-3 cm on the skin. Most often they occur on the hands, feet, and sometimes on other parts of the body. The blisters are filled with clear or slightly cloudy liquid and do not cause pain or itching.

Treatment

No specific treatment for phlyctena solitary has been developed. It is recommended to pierce the blisters with a sterile needle and lubricate the dried crust with antiseptic ointments. With frequent relapses, immunosuppressive drugs are prescribed. It is important to avoid mechanical damage and infection of the lesions.

Forecast

The prognosis is favorable. The disease is not dangerous to life and health. The blisters go away on their own within 1-2 weeks, leaving no scars. Relapses of unpredictable frequency are possible. If hygiene and caution are observed, complications do not develop.
