It is worth noting that most of the diseases suffered by children, which is associated with a number of predisposing factors.

types of diseases

There are several classifications of the pathological state.

Most often, doctors divide streptoderma depending on its shape:

1. strep impetigo It is considered the most common form. It is noted the appearance of the face, trunk and limbs red small bubbles. After their opening pus or hazy liquid remains weeping surface.

2. bullous impetigo It occurs mainly in children aged 2-5 years. In this case, the rash takes the form of large bubbles filled with lots of transparent yellow pus. They do not cause pain, are easily damaged, leaving in its place the red spots. This form of streptococcal rarely provokes the other symptoms, and recovery occurs quickly enough. By streptococcal bullous form it is characterized in that the patient concerned about severe itching.

   

3. streptococcal Zayed - common form in children and middle-aged patients. Characterized by the formation of crusts in the corners of the mouth, red foci, which are damaged during opening of the mouth during ingestion. The disease can be acute or chronic, it is often complicated by the accession of infection and treated for a long time. Experts note that the Zayed often affects children with weakened immune systems.
4. streptococcal intertrigo in most cases it affects children infants. The disease is characterized by the appearance of small red rash in the natural skin folds. That is why children with high body weight suffer from this form often. The condition can occur in adults, accompanied by itching and the formation of scabs.
5. Turniol, or superficial felon - an inflammation of the skin around the nail bed. Usually the condition affects the fingers, can occur in the form of lightweight or heavy. In the latter case, there is a possibility of loss of the nail or parts thereof. As the progression of inflammation of the child is not able to perform ordinary household manipulation. In addition, significantly increased the risk of joining other microbes.
6. ecthyma - one of the most dangerous forms of streptococcal that affects the deeper layers of skin. Thus at any body site suppurative focus may receive the coated dense crust. The disease progresses, affects the deeper layers of the skin, develop severe complications if left untreated. Most often, this form of streptococcal occurs in immunocompromised children.

Any form of the disease occurs in several stages. Some types of cured yourself, others require medical attention.

Depending on the progression of the rash and its experts distinguish dry and weeping streptoderma. In the former case, flaking and itching, damage occurs in the second bubble formation and wet surface, which is favorable breeding ground for germs.

Streptoderma in children (treatment begins after the diagnostic examination) may be acute or chronic. Acute comes on suddenly, is accompanied by severe symptoms and requires immediate treatment. The chronic form of stale, poorly expressed symptoms, but increases the risk of complications.

Given the area of ​​skin lesions secrete limited streptoderma which affect a small area of ​​the skin, as well as common, afflicting vast areas on the body and limbs.

In addition, the superficial and deep isolated form of the disease. In the first case the inflammation is localized in the upper layers of the skin, in the second switches to deep tissues and can penetrate into the systemic circulation.

Depending on the origin of the pathology can be identified primary streptococcal impetigo, which is a separate disease, as well as secondary. The latter often acts as a complication of other dermatological pathologies.

Stage and grade

Almost all forms and varieties of the disease always take place in several stages. Each of them is characterized by certain symptoms.

At the initial stage in one or more areas of skin rash. Its appearance and size depend on the shape of pathology. At this stage, the baby almost did not bother. May cause a slight itching and mild discomfort when touching the affected area.

If untreated, the disease becomes progressive at a stage when the number increases rash, itch intensified. Combing at the site of lesions appear or peeling moknutija portions that depend on the shape of pathology.

In this case, the child can talk about pain, especially in time swimming or in contact with clothes. In some patients the body temperature rises, perhaps even develop fever.

The next stage is accompanied by the formation of crusts on the site of the rash. They may have a yellow or brown color, thickness also differs depending on the depth of the skin lesion. Symptomatology at this time usually disappears or becomes less severe, the baby almost did not notice the pain and itching.

Step resolution is characterized by falling away crusts, and full recovery of the skin. At the site of the rash are small reddish spots, which will eventually disappear. If treatment is started in a timely manner, on the site of lesions is not scar.

With the development of surface felon symptoms increases gradually. At the initial stage okolonogtevogo roller become swollen, there is a slight redness and pain. On progressive edema increases, the skin becomes purplish or bluish. In some places, you can see the whitish spots, which indicate the formation of pus.

At an advanced stage ulcers burst, there is a strong pain, redness, tissue may die off. At the stage of resolution of all symptoms disappear gradually, the wound is cleaned and tightened.

1. In the first stage redness appears in the corners of the mouth.
2. The next stage is characterized by the appearance of pain in the use of food and conversation. In this case, reddened areas are wet, which slows down the healing process.
3. In the next step inflammation foci covered crusts.

At the initial stage, there is a small limited focus of inflammation, which is localized on the body, face or extremities. External signs are limited to redness, the appearance of the crust and the release of a small amount of pus.
