Geloderma

Geloderma is a medical term for the formation of multiple small, mostly painful formations at the attachment points of tendons to bones and bones to each other. It is usually associated with chronic injury to muscles and tendons, but a clinically identical pathology can develop under the influence of various factors, both simultaneously and gradually. There are two main types of the disease: 1. Finger flexion - the phalanges protrude to the side. In this case, the concave side of the finger peels off from the bone base, and growths and layers are formed. This condition occurs more often in people whose work involves prolonged strain on their hands or the position of their hands above the table surface. The cause is deformation of the extensor pollicis longus tendon. Severe pain can be relieved with dimexide and calcium ointment. 2. An acute form of joint dystrophy of the thumb develops after severe injuries. The epicondyle of the ulna is torn off, as well as degeneration of the bones, phalanges of the fingers, ligaments and nails, which causes a blister to appear on the finger. Then, whitish spots and growths appear in turn in the area of ​​the bend of the finger, and a high elevation of the affected finger is also observed. If timely therapy is delayed, the sore finger becomes immobile, and the person loses his job.

Treatment and prevention It is necessary to avoid putting stress on the affected arm during the first two weeks after the injury. Apply ifampicin to the affected area, repeat this number of times or do 5 treatment procedures 2 times.



Geloderma is a term in dermatology to designate various clinical manifestations accompanied by the formation of various types of rashes in the skin and mucous membranes. As the name itself suggests, the disease belongs to a group of dermatoses characterized by the appearance of various rashes more often in adult patients than in children. Rashes with heloderma usually appear acutely, against the background of general good condition. The causes may be various infectious diseases, intoxication, allergic reactions, hemorrhages, metabolic changes, hereditary predisposition, trauma, etc. Let's look at the most common causes of heloderma in people.

The main reason for the development of heloderma is an infectious skin lesion, which occurs against the background of a sharp weakening of the immune system, as well as with concomitant chronic viral and infectious diseases. In people with reduced immunity who suffer from chronic infectious diseases, geloder



Geloderma (ancient Greek ἡλωδερμία) is the thickening of the dermis (skin) of the scalp at the site of penetration of a foreign body under the skin, surrounded by granulation tissue, papillary growths of the epidermis and a pyogenic inflammatory clutch. The development of geloderma is associated with the invasion of a growing microcolony of microorganisms deep into the skin - with the introduction of bacteria or fungi into the dermal defect, causing the development of deep forms of pyococcal infection - pyoderma of the subtype of mycoses, impetigo or boils. The process is accompanied by the formation of dense foci of excess collagen formation, forming hyperophia, often reaching 2-3 cm (sepsis), when the foreign object is located close to the surface of the skin. Giant hyperophic foci, called "gelos" (lit. "elevation"), are covered with scales, flattened and rod-like (saw-toothed rod), have a whitish color and a stony surface. These pathological changes, essentially being the body’s response to traumatic stigma (infection), like other chronic inflammatory skin lesions (pustules, cicatricial bullae, conglobate staphyloderma, scleroderma granulomas), have no tendency to spontaneous resolution, and are an outwardly satisfactorily studied pathology.

Geloderma is also called sternoeye, stoballum, pustular ec
