Facial allergies - treatment of allergic rashes in adults: types and how to treat them

Diathesis is a controversial concept. In modern domestic pediatrics and therapy, this concept is no longer used in everyday practice. Diathesis is essentially the body’s predisposition to the development of certain pathological reactions. Diathesis is also called constitutional anomalies. Previously, three types of diathesis were distinguished: exudative-catarrhal, lymphatic-hypoplastic, neuro-arthritic. Each of them included certain criteria. Exudative-catarrhal diathesis is characterized by a person’s tendency to allergies and the development of infectious diseases. Lymphatic-hypoplastic diathesis is characterized by excess weight, enlarged lymph nodes, enlarged tonsils and adenoids. Such children often suffer from respiratory diseases and are also prone to allergies. Neuro-arthritic diathesis is characterized by changes in metabolism caused by increased excitability of the nervous system. Such people often experience pain in the knees and back, urinary incontinence, night terrors, decreased appetite, emotional instability, and stuttering. It is worth emphasizing that the most characteristic symptom of this disease is cyclically occurring vomiting (the so-called acetonemic syndrome in children). The described symptoms of diathesis often occur in childhood, so these manifestations are less pronounced in adults.

Using the term “diathesis” nowadays, pediatricians and therapists often mean exudative-catarrhal diathesis, which has a more modern concept – “ atopic dermatitis”. Therefore, further consideration of this topic will be devoted to this particular disease.

What is diathesis?

Diathesis is a constitutional anomaly, and now this term is used more as a tribute to the domestic tradition in pediatrics. A similar concept is “hereditary predisposition.” Such signs are not described in foreign literature. There is no separate section for them in the International Classification of Diseases.

Diathesis in children is not a disease, but only a combination of various functional changes that do not always contribute to the development of any diseases. To prevent such a reaction from developing into pathology, it is necessary to monitor the child with an experienced pediatrician and comprehensive treatment of diathesis.

Signs of overdose

If you exceed the recommended dose, you may encounter unpleasant consequences:

• attacks of nausea;
• gagging;
• severe headache;
• dizziness;
• overexcitement;
• feeling of anxiety, panic;
• sudden rush of blood;
• increased blood pressure.

In such a situation, it is necessary to rinse the stomach with water, take activated carbon as an absorbent, and seek medical help.

Causes of diathesis

Risk factors for the development of constitutional anomalies:

• chronic diseases in parents, for example, allergies;
• poor nutrition of a pregnant woman, her medication intake, illnesses during pregnancy;
• complicated course of pregnancy and childbirth;
• frequent infectious diseases in a child, taking a large number of medications;
• incorrect, unbalanced feeding.

The main causes of diathesis:

• unsynchronized maturation of the liver, kidneys, blood elements, and nervous system in the child’s body;
• disruption of the immune system;
• insufficient hormonal activity of the adrenal cortex (hypocortisolism).

How is the disease diagnosed?

Typically, your doctor will order blood and urine tests to measure your creatinine and uric acid levels. Blood is taken from a vein. If the results are abnormal, a 24-hour urine test is performed. Typically, it also shows elevated uric acid levels. The patient is then prescribed a purine-restricted diet, followed by a repeat urine test. This approach helps determine whether uric acid diathesis is caused by:

• consuming large amounts of purines in food;
• hyperproduction of uric acid in the body;
• insufficiently effective removal of purine metabolic products from the body.

If you have symptoms of gout, your doctor will recommend testing your intra-articular fluid. A sample is taken using a thin needle. If uric acid crystals are found in the fluid, a diagnosis of gout is made.

Symptoms of diathesis in children

In total there are more than 20 types of diathesis. They may be asymptomatic or accompanied by a variety of symptoms. All constitutional anomalies are characterized by common symptoms:

• fatigue, inability to adapt to changing environmental conditions;
• difficulties in learning, communicating with peers, social maladjustment;
• frequent colds;
• broncho-obstructive syndrome;
• skin rash;
• enlarged tonsils, adenoids;
• impaired metabolism, low weight, short stature.

Side effects

When applied externally, the gel does not penetrate the systemic bloodstream, therefore it rarely provokes complications. Problems are more common when using capsules. Possible side effects include:

• increased skin itching, burning, redness;
• headache;
• indigestion;
• spasms, heaviness in the abdominal area;
• bloating.

Symptoms may indicate intolerance to the drug, so it is better to stop treatment before visiting a doctor.

Types of diathesis

The most common types of constitutional anomalies in children:

• Exudative-catarrhal diathesis

There is a tendency to swelling, inflammation, diaper rash, peeling of the skin, and damage to the mucous membranes. Frequent infections, skin rashes on the cheeks and buttocks, and unstable weight gain occur. This is a common diathesis in newborns and children in the first 3 months of life, which is detected in half of infants, but usually goes away by 3 years of age. Its variety is allergic diathesis, which can later transform into chronic atopic diseases (rhinitis, asthma, dermatitis).

• Lymphatic-hypoplastic diathesis

There is an enlargement of the lymph nodes and the thymus gland with simultaneous suppression of protective forces, and the functioning of the endocrine glands is disrupted. This is a common diathesis in infants and children under 3 years of age. As a result, the child often suffers from infectious diseases, and severe lesions can develop - sepsis, pneumonia.

• Neuro-arthritic diathesis

The child has high levels of uric acid in his blood. There is increased nervous excitability, joint pain, bouts of vomiting, and smooth muscle spasms. The age of manifestation of pathology is about 6 years.

Instructions for use

The drug Troxerutin is prescribed to patients over 15 years of age. To avoid deterioration of health, before use, you must carefully study the instructions and read the manufacturer’s recommendations.

How to use capsules correctly

Gelatin-coated tablets should not be cracked, chewed or sucked. You need to swallow it, wash it down with a small amount of water. The instructions indicate how to drink Troxerutin correctly:

• in case of exacerbation of the disease - 1 capsule 3 times a day;
• to prevent complications after vascular surgery - 1 capsule morning and evening.

The duration of the course depends on how you feel and the severity of the disease, on average it takes from 3 to 4 weeks.

How to take Troxerutin for hemorrhoids depends on the stage of the disease. For exacerbation, enlargement and inflammation of hemorrhoids, capsules are prescribed 3 times a day. After removing the cones, you can drink it 2 times a day for 2 weeks.

Using Troxerutin gel

The drug in this dosage form is intended for external use only. It is easily applied to the skin, does not require rubbing with massage movements, is quickly absorbed, and does not leave greasy stains.

For severe swelling, venous insufficiency and varicose veins, the gel is applied with light stroking movements. It is rubbed from the bottom (ankle) to the top (knee), without pressure or pressure the muscles of the lower leg are massaged. This perfectly stimulates lymph flow and blood circulation, strengthens blood vessels, and relieves a person of heaviness and tingling.

For bruises and hemorrhagic rashes, the gel is applied to the skin in a thin layer, leaving the surface open until absorbed. No bandage is required. Treatment of inflamed areas can be carried out in the morning and evening after taking a shower.

Troxerutin ointment is useful for people who work standing or sitting all day long and lead a sedentary lifestyle: hairdressers, salespeople, office workers. The medicine is a prevention of varicose veins and dangerous thrombosis. It can be applied every day before bed to restore healthy circulation.

The course of treatment is prescribed by the doctor. For varicose veins and thrombophlebitis, therapy can last up to 4 weeks.

Diathesis in adults

Diathesis in adults is a misnomer, since this condition occurs only in children. In the future, it can cause the development of various diseases:

• exudative diathesis: bronchial asthma, cholecystitis, duodenitis;
• lymphatic diathesis: bronchial asthma, nephropathy, myocardial dystrophy;
• uric acid diathesis: hypertension, urolithiasis and cholelithiasis, gout, peptic ulcer, colitis, bronchial asthma.

A separate form of pathology, not related to constitutional anomalies and occurring in children and adults, is hemorrhagic diathesis. This is a large group of diseases that are united by a tendency to bleeding and hemorrhage. They occur when there is damage to blood vessels, platelets, or disruption of the plasma component of hemostasis. Such diseases, unlike ordinary diathesis, are treated by a hematologist.

Features of the composition

Troxerutin contains a large amount of rutin - this is a synthetic form of vitamin P, which is a beneficial bioflavonoid. In nature, it is found in citrus fruits, green vegetables, and berries.

Combined with ascorbic acid (vitamin C), rutin is an important building material for the walls of blood vessels. It attracts hyaluronic acid molecules, accelerating the creation of new cells. Capillaries and veins become more elastic and healthier from the inside. They become noticeably denser, which reduces the risk of rupture due to thrombosis and other pathologies.

Treatment of diathesis

To find out how to treat diathesis in a child and how to prevent its consequences, you need to consult a pediatrician. If necessary, additional tests are prescribed and

consultations (ENT doctor, allergist, dermatologist, neurologist and others).

The basis of treatment is a hypoallergenic diet for the pregnant woman, and in the future for the child, limiting hot, spicy, fatty foods. The child is vaccinated according to an individual schedule. It requires constant careful care and attention. For lymphatic diathesis, home education up to 5–6 years of age may be recommended.

All medications are prescribed individually. These can be enzymes, antihistamines, vitamins, calcium supplements, adaptogens. For skin lesions, a non-hormonal ointment for diathesis, for example, naphthalan, can be used. Baths with infusions of chamomile, string, and bran are useful.

Basic dosage forms

Troxerutin Vramed

The drug can be purchased in 2 types:

• capsules with a dosage of 300 mg of active substance in a gelatin shell for internal use;
• transparent gel Troxerutin (ointment) with a yellow or brown tint.

For some diagnoses, the patient needs to use capsules and gel simultaneously to get the effect.

Prevention of diathesis

Prevention of the development of constitutional anomalies should begin during pregnancy and continue at least during the first year of life. Main events:

• regular monitoring during pregnancy;
• prevention and treatment of gestosis, other anomalies of pregnancy and childbirth;
• proper diet and emotional peace of the expectant mother;
• early attachment of the newborn to the breast;
• breastfeeding with the correct, gradual introduction of new products;
• hypoallergenic diet of the child and mother feeding breast milk;
• use only cotton linen, wash with baby soap or special powder;
• gymnastics, massage, hardening procedures, starting from a very early age;
• compliance with all vaccination instructions;
• upon admission to kindergarten or school - a course of adaptogenic drugs as prescribed by a doctor.

pharmachologic effect

The drug Troxerutin is indispensable in many situations. The active substance in the composition, when consumed orally or externally, shows the following pharmacological and medicinal properties:

• Antioxidant – binds and removes free radicals, which trigger cell aging, increase fragility and the risk of vascular damage. Accelerates recovery and healing after surgery.
• Angioprotective – strengthens the walls of veins and capillaries, protects against changes in blood pressure and the effects of negative factors. Veins can withstand increased stress when playing sports, working in a standing position, or being overweight without the risk of damage or thrombosis.
• Tonic - restores blood flow and normalizes the outflow of excess fluid, relieves painful swelling in the legs.
• Anti-inflammatory – blocks the action of leukocytes, which trigger inflammation of the veins.
• Tonic – strengthens the walls of large vessels. Rutin accelerates contraction, blood rises faster to the heart, which is important for people with atherosclerosis and hypotension.

Additionally, the list of things that Troxerutin Veprom ointment helps with can include the prevention of thrombosis. With regular use, it enhances the effect of compression garments and reduces the likelihood of surgical intervention.

Make an appointment

2. Fill in the fields in the form that appears. Be sure to check the correct phone number so that our specialist can reach you. After filling out, click on the “Submit” button.

3. Wait for our specialist to call. He will answer any of your questions and agree on the date and time of your visit to PsorMak.

The initial appointment includes:

• Visual examination , which will allow the specialist to get a general understanding of the condition of your skin and the pathology itself.
• Collecting anamnesis - finding out information about the development of the disease, living conditions, previous diseases, operations, injuries, chronic pathologies, allergic reactions, heredity, etc. Together with a general examination, this allows you to make a fairly accurate diagnosis and choose a method of treatment and/or prevention.

Effective analogues

The drug is well tolerated and rarely produces side effects. But in some cases, selection of an analogue is required. The most popular drugs with a similar principle of action:

• Phlebopha – contains diosmin, which improves the condition of capillaries from the inside, reduces their distensibility, and eliminates swelling in the legs;
• Venolek – has a natural base, effectively relieves the symptoms of varicose veins;
• Troxevasin - contains a similar active ingredient and is used for the treatment and prevention of venous insufficiency and thrombophlebitis.

It is difficult to say unequivocally which is better: Troxevasin or Troxerutin. They contain a similar active ingredient in the same dosage, have similar indications and contraindications, and method of administration. But Troxevasin gel contains more expensive additives that improve its absorption when applied externally.
