Galactophorite

Galactophoritosis is one of the widespread diseases of the facial skin. The disease is manifested by the presence of areas of hypopigmentation in the area of ​​the nasolabial folds and corners of the mouth. Hypopigment spots are surrounded by a zone of hyperpigmentation (melasma) of irregular shape caused by microscar tissue. Hypopyonic areas of the skin appear as if covered with a network of blue small vessels (moon face).

The main cause of the disease is heredity, the presence of inflammation in the oral cavity and nasopharynx, as well as trauma to the face as a result of an accident or household contact. The danger of the disease is that it can cause a decrease in keratin levels

Galactophoritis, or intracanillicular mastitis, is an inflammatory disease of the mammary gland, which is characterized by infection of the lactal ducts and is accompanied by the formation of abscesses and cysts.

This pathology develops due to the bacterium Streptococcus sp, which is usually present in the body in small quantities, but is activated when the immune system is weakened. Major risk factors for galactophoritis include traumatic intraductal procedures (such as biopsies or breast debridement), previous pregnancy or pregnancy complications such as engorgement and mastopathy, and breast erosions, chemical burns, or trauma.
