Lichen Scrofulus

Lichen scrofulus is an infectious disease transmitted by contact. Caused by a virus of the herpes family, it has similar symptoms to herpes infection. The main pathogenetic mechanism is the activation of the lymphatic system and local immune cells, which provoke a rapid inflammatory response. Due to the overreaction of the human immune system with increased reactivity, long-term consequences after an acute illness are possible. Ringworm appears as a result of decreased immunity; people who have recently suffered from another illness, including a chronic one, are most susceptible to the disease.

In order to avoid serious consequences when contracting lichen, seek advice and help from a doctor. Even if you have no complaints today, it is worth getting preventive measures for this disease twice a year.
