Phrynoderma

Phrynoderma is a skin disease characterized by the appearance of red spots on the skin caused by a lack of vitamins and minerals. In some cases, phrynoderma can be caused by an allergic reaction to certain foods or medications.

Phrynoderma can appear in various forms, including skin redness, peeling, itching and blistering. If left untreated, phrynoderma can lead to serious consequences such as hair loss and skin deformation.

To treat phrynoderma, you need to take vitamins and minerals that will help restore balance in the body. Topical creams and ointments may also be used to reduce inflammation and itching.

However, if phrynoderma does not go away within a few weeks, you should consult a doctor for additional tests and diagnostics. In some cases, medications may be needed to control inflammation and improve overall skin health.

It is important to remember that phrynoderma is not just a cosmetic problem, but a disease that requires timely treatment. Therefore, if you notice signs of phrynoderma, do not delay contacting a doctor and start treatment as soon as possible.

Phrynoderma is a skin disease in which atrophy of the epidermis of the skin, brown or white spots, gray and yellow scales flaking from the center to the periphery is observed. At first, the spot appears to be covered in cobwebs. It is characteristic that redness appears first, then a gray spot forms in this place, gradually turning into peeling scales of a dark gray, almost black color, sometimes even bleeding, scales that seem to peel off easily, then complete atrophy occurs. Such spots can be of various sizes with a smooth, even shiny surface; they always tend to grow peripherally, especially in spring and autumn, after which they do not go away for several years. Patients often complain of itching in the areas of spots and crusts at the corners of the mouth and between the fingers and toes. Meanwhile, a non-atrophic form of the disease is also possible, which begins with small flat rounded white matte oval spots with rolling scales.
