Causes of the disease
As already mentioned above, most often the causedevelopment of seborrheic eczema is a neglected form of conventional seborrhea. In addition, often the disease develops due to disruption of the normal functioning of the endocrine system. And simply weakened immune system, especially at children, at the certain share of predisposition of an organism, can lead to occurrence of a seborrheic dermatitis. In addition, seborrheic dermatitis can be caused by a number of other diseases. Physicians treat such ailments as:
- Presence of a syndrome of chronic fatigue, or constant emotional stress.
- Violation of the normal operation of the gastrointestinal tract, including dysbiosis.
- Disturbance of the liver and gallbladder.
- Diseases of the vegetative system, in particular vegetovascular dystonia.
- Violation of the normal functioning of the endocrine system.
The presence in humans of seborrheic eczema is not onlybrings him quite a lot of inconvenience. First, the aesthetic nature - constantly stuck hair or flaky skin does not add to the person's attractiveness and self-confidence. In addition, especially if children suffer from seborrheic eczema, the wounds constantly itch and itch. As a result, a secondary bacterial infection is often attached to seborrheic eczema. Parents should always remember this feature and strictly follow that children do not comb the crusts. If a very small child is ill, it makes sense to put cotton gloves on him so that he does not comb the wounds. To relieve the itch, doctors recommend bathing the baby in a weak solution of potassium permanganate. Remember that it is inadmissible to dilute potassium permanganate in the bathroom itself - do this in a separate container and then pour into the total volume of water, filtering through the gauze fabric. Such a measure avoids the skin burn with undissolved potassium permanganate crystals. In addition, seborrheic eczema significantly reduces the normal functioning of the immune system. A person suffering from seborrheic eczema is more vulnerable to various infections and even common colds. And various skin diseases occur in similar sick people also much more often. For example, ostiophalliculitis occurs in people with seborrheic eczema in about 50% of all cases. This disease is characterized by the appearance on the skin of semicircular bright red pustules. Treatment of seborrheic eczema is very long and requires an extremely careful approach. Many sick people refuse medical care, preferring treatment with traditional medicine. However, such a tactic of behavior is incorrect - almost all recipes of traditional medicine are based on certain plants. However, seborrheic eczema very often implies a certain proportion of the allergic component, so such treatment with high probability may lead to a worsening of the course of the disease.
