purulent wounds;
superficial damage to the skin;

Doctors' opinion

A few decades ago, doctors preferred brilliant green. But then they came to the conclusion that the medicine was easily absorbed into the skin and remained on its surface for a long time. Therefore, experts turned to another remedy - Fukortsin. It has the same properties, but is washed off more easily and heals wounds faster.

A modern doctor can prescribe any of these drugs. Fukortsin, like brilliant green, is very effective and leads to complete recovery. But unlike “diamond green,” this remedy has some side effects. Parents must be warned about them so that they understand the risks. In any case, only mothers of children decide what to use, after consulting with their doctor.

What is better - brilliant green or fucorcin?

Zelenka or fucorcin for chickenpox?
Let's try to figure out which is better. The basis of both brilliant green and Fukortsina is aniline dye. The action of both drugs is similar. However, there are also differences:

brilliant green can be applied to rashes in children from birth, and Fukortsin - only after a year;
Fukortsin contains more ingredients, which means there is a greater risk of allergic reactions;
despite the more persistent coloring, Fukortsin washes off more easily and stains clothes and linen less than brilliant green;
Fukorrcin can be washed off with baby cream, calendula alcohol solution, vegetable oil, etc.

How to get rid of red spots

It is possible to take any measures to eliminate residual spots only after complete recovery, that is, after all the crusts have fallen off. If you do not treat with this product at the crust stage, then, most likely, by this time the paint will wash off without any targeted action.

How to remove Fukortsin from the skin (aggressive methods):

Finely chop the soap (you can grate it) and add it to the container with hydrogen peroxide. Stir until a thick mass is formed and rub the resulting product into the “red” areas with a brush. Wash off with water;
Take a 1% alcohol solution of salicylic acid and quickly wipe the stains with cotton pads. Since this method is extremely dangerous, it must also be washed off quickly with water;
Take medicinal calendula, crushed laundry soap and add it to a container with hydrogen peroxide. Stir until a thick mass is formed and rub this product into the red spots, then rinse with cold water;

It is not advisable to use these methods for facial skin.

We erase red spots in less dangerous ways:

Take vegetable oil, apply to a cotton pad and rub in the desired areas;
We take regular soap and wash the tinted skin, after wetting it. Afterwards, wash off with water. You need to repeat this procedure more than 15 times a day, then you can get rid of stains in one day;
Go to the sauna or bathhouse and take a good steam;
We take makeup removers and easily remove stains using cotton pads. It is necessary to take breaks between procedures, 1-3 hours;

To support the skin, you need to prepare a vitamin decoction. We buy a few grams of vitamin C and add it to boiling water, stir for 10-15 minutes. Let it cool and rub the resulting product into the skin.

Adverse reactions

Sometimes, if the solution is abused, inflammation of the treated areas of the skin may occur, accompanied by burning or itching. A similar effect is achieved by prolonged contact of the epidermis with the active substance. Treatment of adverse reactions is symptomatic:

Wash off excess solution from skin using soap and running water.
Apply a cream containing dexpanthenol to the skin, excluding the wound itself.
Stop using Fukortsin.

special instructions

It is highly not recommended to treat large surface areas of the skin with Fukortsin, as this will lead to intoxication with phenol, which is part of the drug, which will cause weakness, surges in blood pressure, respiratory distress and dizziness.

Before handling the bottle, it is recommended to wear rubber or polyethylene gloves to protect your hands from accidental contact of the dye with your skin. Like brilliant green, Fukortsin can stain objects that receive random drops while unsealing the bottle. Therefore, it is better to cover the table or cabinet on which the bottle will stand with a waterproof napkin.

Fenistil

"Fenistil" is a safe antihistamine (antiallergic) drug of a new generation. To reduce the itching of chickenpox, antihistamines are used, this is especially true for children who cannot control themselves and scratch the wounds. It is not advisable to use Fenistil gel for chickenpox, since due to the treatment of large areas of the body it can be toxic to the body. But Fenistil drops for chickenpox are a good way to relieve itching. The number of drops is calculated based on the patient's weight.

Results

What do experts recommend using today? If a child has chickenpox, it is not necessary to immediately smear him with brilliant green. A red or pink solution is also very effective and efficient. With its help, you can achieve a faster recovery if you understand all the risks and try to avoid them. To do this, doctors recommend first checking the product for allergies, and then using it. It will be much more effective than brilliant green and will ensure the fastest healing of the affected skin areas.

Chickenpox in adults

02.08.2015

It is a well-known fact: it is better to get over “childhood” diseases in childhood, ideally in preschool age. Chickenpox in adults is one of the most striking examples of this. If you didn't get chickenpox as a child and haven't been vaccinated against varicella-zoster virus, your introduction to chickenpox can be one of your biggest challenges.

Why is chickenpox dangerous in adults?

We immediately need to make a clarification: for so-called “childhood” diseases, the concept of “adult” begins already in adolescence. If the disease overtook you after 12 years, the likelihood of moderate or even severe chickenpox with a bunch of side effects is higher, the older you are. People over 50 years of age suffer the most from chickenpox if they are sick with it for the first time. However, fortunately, the chances that an adult will not have time to become infected with the varicella-zoster virus before such an advanced age are almost zero.

Where and how can an adult become infected with chickenpox?

Paradox: an adult is many times more likely to encounter the chickenpox virus than children. The same applies to teenagers who begin to move around outside the home a lot. The varicella-zoster virus is extremely volatile, easily travels through the air, and is transmitted by airborne droplets. And a sick person is contagious even before the first symptoms appear (about 48 hours before them). That is, no contact with the patient is needed. You can simply ride in the same elevator, in the same subway car, you can walk past a virus carrier, or sit in his place at a table in a cafe. The only thing that saves us is the instability of the virus that has entered the air. But you don’t really have to count on this if you haven’t had chickenpox yet.

Just as one cannot rely on nonspecific immunity. If someone tells you that a good immune system can save you from chickenpox, don’t believe it. The only way to become immune to the varicella-zoster virus is to become infected with the virus, either through illness or vaccination. And this immunity lasts as long as this virus is present in the body. Therefore, when an adult who claims that he did not have chickenpox as a child does not get chickenpox, there are only two options. Either in childhood he had asymptomatic chickenpox, or for some reason this disease was not recorded in his children's medical record. Alas, there are still parents who manage not to remember what their children were sick with in childhood.

Be careful: you can also get chickenpox from someone who has herpes zoster (shingles), because this disease is also caused by the varicella-zoster virus, being essentially a “reincarnation” of the virus in the body of a person who once had chickenpox.

Chickenpox in adults has its own seasonality - these are the winter and spring periods.

How does chickenpox occur in adults?

In adolescents and adults, chickenpox almost always occurs in a complicated form.

From the moment of infection to the first symptoms of chickenpox in an adult, a minimum of 7 and a maximum of 23 days pass. The disease begins with a sharp rise in temperature to 39-40 degrees, which can last for several days, being difficult to control. This is due to the characteristics of the immune response to the virus in adults.

At this stage, an adult with chickenpox feels weakness, aching joints and muscle pain, headaches, nausea - all these are signs of general intoxication of the body. Against the background of high fever and intoxication, an adult with chickenpox may experience loss of consciousness. In this case, you should immediately call an ambulance, since with such a course of chickenpox the patient should be observed in a hospital.

Important: under no circumstances use aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) or analgin (baralgin, metamizole sodium) as an antipyretic and analgesic for chickenpox. According to numerous scientific data, the use of these drugs for chickenpox (specifically for this disease, and not in general) often leads to liver complications.

Following the fever, a chickenpox rash appears. However, the temperature may remain high. Classic blisters usually appear first on the body, then cover the neck and face. The rash can spread to the mucous membranes of the mouth, pharynx, tongue, and even the mucous membranes of the genitals. In addition, the rash can affect the inner surfaces of the eyelids and spread to the cornea, which can lead to vision loss.

The main problem with rashes in adults is that they are not only more severe than in children, but they are almost always complicated by a bacterial infection. The blisters tend to turn into pustules - long-term non-healing pimples with purulent contents, after which so-called pockmarks - small indentations visible to the eye - can remain on the skin as a keepsake. The chickenpox rash itself lasts longer in adults than in children - up to 9 days. And its consequences often have to be cleaned up in the cosmetologist’s office.

In addition to a secondary bacterial infection, chickenpox in adults can lead to the following serious complications:

viral pneumonia (this complication occurs especially often in adolescents and pregnant women).
partial or complete loss of vision (when the rash spreads to the cornea of the eye, scars remain in place of the blisters)
vulvitis in women and inflammation of the foreskin in men
Optic neuritis (can also lead to vision loss).
viral tracheitis, laryngitis (with a rash affecting the mucous membranes of the pharynx).
acute stomatitis
renal failure
toxic liver damage
encephalitis and meningitis (these complications occur when the chickenpox virus infects nerve cells and meninges.

As you can see, chickenpox in adults is no longer a harmless childhood disease. And it requires immediate treatment.

How is chickenpox treated in adults?

Children over 12 years of age and adults with chickenpox are prescribed specific antiviral treatment, and a special regimen is also prescribed. Most often, without waiting for the pustules to begin to appear, the doctor may recommend taking antibiotics.

To suppress viral activity the following may be prescribed:

1. Viricidal drugs directed specifically against herpes viruses:

acyclovir = Zovirax = Virolex (from 2 years); also use acyclovir ointment for rashes and conjunctivitis (eye damage);
valacyclovir (from 12 years old),
famciclovir (from 17 years old), isoprinosine.

2. Immunomodulators: interferon, viferon. In severe cases of chickenpox, patients are given stronger immunomodulators (thymalin, thymogen, IRS-19) and cytokine drugs (roncoleukin).

3. Immunostimulants: cycloferon, anaferon

In severe cases of chickenpox, immunoglobulins are used intravenously. All of the above drugs should be used in age-specific dosages.

To alleviate the symptoms of the disease, the following are prescribed:

Bed rest for 3-5 days (longer in complicated cases)
Careful care of the skin and mucous membranes:
treating the rash sites with antiseptic drugs to prevent secondary infection, which often accompanies chickenpox in adults (up to the formation of ulcers followed by scarring, leaving scars on the skin).
treatment of the oral mucosa - rinsing with furatsilin and/or sodium sulfacyl
for conjunctivitis, acyclovir ointment is used, and to prevent bacterial complications - albucid 20%, chloramphenicol ointment or tetracycline.
antihistamines (suprastin, tavegil, etc.);
antipyretics (ibuprofen, nurofen, or physical cooling methods - wrapping).

In addition, abundant alkaline drinking is indicated.

If a secondary bacterial infection cannot be avoided, antibiotics are used strictly as prescribed by the doctor , with 3rd generation cephalosporins being the drug of choice.

Important: if you have chickenpox or are recovering from it, beware of sunbathing during this period, as chickenpox rash can cause pigmentation disorders in the affected areas of the skin. It is best to hide chickenpox-affected areas of the body until complete healing, since even fresh chickenpox scars can become hyperpigmented.

Adults with pustular chickenpox are advised to avoid water treatments until the pimples begin to dry out.

Chickenpox during pregnancy

If a woman who is not vaccinated or has not had chickenpox gets sick during pregnancy, the unborn child may develop congenital smallpox, which manifests itself as scars on the skin, low birth weight, and even delayed mental and physical development. But the risk that chickenpox during pregnancy will cause certain consequences depends on the stage of pregnancy at which the infection occurred. Chickenpox in late pregnancy is much more dangerous than chickenpox in early pregnancy.

Chickenpox in the early stages can lead to missed pregnancy and miscarriage, however, if the fetus survives, the risk of chickenpox complications will be very small (less than 1%).

Chickenpox in the 2nd trimester has consequences for the unborn child in about 2% of cases.

The greatest risk is for pregnant women to become infected in the 3rd trimester. If a pregnant woman becomes infected with chickenpox a few days before giving birth, then the risk of congenital chickenpox in the unborn child is 20-25%.

What is better - brilliant green or fucorcin?

Zelenka or fucorcin for chickenpox?

Let's try to figure out which is better.

The basis of both brilliant green and Fukortsina is aniline dye. The action of both drugs is similar. However, there are also differences:

brilliant green can be applied to rashes in children from birth, and Fukortsin - only after a year;
Fukortsin contains more ingredients, which means there is a greater risk of allergic reactions;
despite the more persistent coloring, Fukortsin washes off more easily and stains clothes and linen less than brilliant green;
Fukorrcin can be washed off with baby cream, calendula alcohol solution, vegetable oil, etc.

conclusions

The lack of specific immunity makes almost every person vulnerable to diseases caused by pathogens of the enterovirus group. You should not treat “resort infections” irresponsibly; they often lead to serious complications. Most patients infected with the Coxsackie virus do not require hospitalization, have no negative consequences, and recover within 10-14 days. But children under 3 years of age are at high risk of developing dehydration, especially with vomiting and diarrhea. And if, nevertheless, a trip with a small child to the resort must take place, then the mother needs to take care of both additional hygiene products and the presence of a first aid kit with essential drugs in her luggage, so as not to run around local pharmacies in search of “antiviral drugs for coxsackie”. And, of course, when applying for insurance, you need to make sure that with this infection you can count on the help of a doctor, which is especially important if the disease suddenly causes complications.

Does it help with chickenpox?

A characteristic sign of chickenpox, which allows you to distinguish it from other diseases, is a rash. There are several stages:

The appearance of pink or red spots. They are quite noticeable and have a clear outline.
Transformation of pink spots into papules. This occurs several hours after the rash appears.
Over time, the papules change and turn into vesicles. The blisters are filled with clear liquid.
The appearance of a crust. After the blister bursts, it dries into a crust. Even if the vesicles are not touched or injured, they still go through this stage. The crust disappears after about 2-2.5 weeks.
