What disease do small itchy pimples on the body indicate?

Vasculitis58

Acne on the abdomen can be a manifestation of vasculitis. This is a dermatosis, in the pathogenesis of which the main role is played by nonspecific inflammation of the walls of the hypodermal and dermal blood vessels. The most common cause of their development is chronic and acute infections (bacterial, viral, fungal). For example, the pustular-ulcerative type of vasculitis is characterized by the appearance of vesiculopustules, similar to acne, but they quickly turn into ulcers. They are most often localized on the legs and lower abdomen. After their healing, hypertrophic scars may remain.

Diagnostics

When the first symptoms of a pathological condition appear, regardless of the nature of the rash, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist. Before making a final diagnosis, the doctor must determine as accurately as possible the cause that caused the appearance of acne in the abdominal area.

At the appointment, first of all, a visual examination of the patient is carried out, and information is collected to establish what could have caused the rash, how long it lasted, what symptoms are accompanied by this condition and what its original form was.

If necessary, additional examinations may be prescribed, as well as necessary tests.

Only based on the results obtained, a final diagnosis is made and the most effective methods of therapy are selected.

Molluscum contagiosum58

Molluscum contagiosum is a benign viral disease, which is characterized by the appearance on the skin, including in the lower abdomen, of small hemispherical rashes with an umbilical depression in the center.

This disease can be transmitted through contact. Molluscum contagiosum is removed by laser, electro- or cryodestruction, curettage, and evisceration. After destruction, it is recommended to treat the area with antiseptics.

Acne* on the back: causes

The main causes of acne on the back include the following [4, 29, 50]:

• Insufficient hygiene. During bathing, not much attention is paid to the back area, although this is one of the seborrheic areas where a large number of sebaceous glands are located.
• Choosing the wrong clothes. Due to wearing synthetic clothing, the skin does not breathe, sweating increases, which can lead to rashes and creates favorable conditions for the growth of bacteria.
• Using the wrong skin care products. Some cosmetics have a comedogenic effect, that is, they clog pores.
• Hormonal imbalance. Often pimples* and acne on the back occur due to the active production of hormones. This often happens to women during menstruation, pregnancy, menopause and adolescents during puberty.
• Stress. Frequent stress and emotional overstrain cause the body to produce large amounts of cortisol and adrenaline, which affect the functioning of the sebaceous glands.
• Taking certain medications. Long-term use of steroids, hormones, and antidepressants can negatively affect the condition of the skin.

Heredity, poor nutrition, prolonged mechanical stress and internal causes, for example, diseases of certain organs and systems also provoke the development of acne. [4, 29, 50]

How can you tell if pimples on your stomach are acne?

A dermatologist should also diagnose acne. This may require not only an examination by a specialist, but also the patient’s participation in additional studies (general blood test, urine test, hormonal spectrum, etc.). For acne, the following types of drugs are most often used: retinoids, azelaic acid, benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics18.

Clindovit® is a topical antibiotic that can be used in the treatment of acne6. The drug has a local antibacterial effect6. The main active ingredient of Clindovit® gel is clindamycin6. It is a lincosamide antibiotic that exhibits antibacterial activity against P. acnes6. The use of the drug helps reduce the level of free fatty acids on the skin from approximately 14 to 2%6.

If acne appears on the body

12.08.2021

Insidious acne tends to appear not only on the face , but also on the body. reasons for the appearance of acne on the body, and based on them, uninvited guests should be eliminated.

Habit of picking wounds on the body and squeezing pimples

This happens: a single pimple appears on the body, and some consider it their duty to immediately squeeze it out. Such a reckless act will not fail to come back to haunt you: gradually new acne . The same applies to wounds, cuts, insect bites: scratching, squeezing, as well as simple but frequent touching - all this is fraught with infection, increased infection and, as a result, either new pimples , or the fact that a small pimple will swell into quite a bump. Which, in turn, can lead to a more serious infection, even sepsis.

Poor nutrition

It needs to be reviewed urgently! And if you have a weakness for cakes, pastries, smoked meats, chips and fast food, you definitely need to fight it. It is recommended to replace sweets with marshmallows, as a much more harmless product. And those who cannot live without unhealthy snacks with savory seasonings should switch to nuts and dried fruits. Smoked meats are good for great holidays, in very small quantities and preferably in combination with vegetables. And then, it will be... later. As you get rid of pimples. But ideally you should give up fast food.

As for the products that, in principle, should be present in the diet, you should not ignore:

• vegetables;
• fruits;
• fish, mainly sea fish;
• lean meats and poultry;
• low-fat dairy, and primarily fermented milk products;
• vegetable oil, preferably olive oil.

Water imbalance

A truth that has become a truism is that you MUST drink at least 1.5-2 liters of water per day. It is better to replace morning coffee with green tea or herbal infusion flavored with mint. It invigorates no less than coffee.

Blockage of sebaceous and sweat glands

To avoid skin problems, you need to shower daily. A bath or sauna in combination with a body scrub is welcome. However, its use in the shower is also highly desirable. And in the summer heat, showers should be taken, as far as possible, several times a day.

Synthetic clothing

Since synthetics prevent the access of oxygen to the body, excessive sweating , leading to the appearance of pimples, cannot be avoided. Therefore, when choosing clothes, you need to give preference to things made from natural materials - cotton, linen, natural silk, wool. But clothes made from the above and other natural fabrics should be worn strictly depending on the season. A blouse made of natural, but overly thick silk on a hot summer day will only aggravate the situation.

Inflammatory processes

Inflammation of the dermis will be wonderfully relieved by chamomile infusion, which you can buy at the pharmacy or make yourself. And use couldn’t be simpler: wiping problem areas with a cotton pad soaked in the infusion.

However, if the problem lies internally, you cannot do without consulting a dermatologist , and then other specialized specialists.

Stress

Everything is simple here: before you get nervous over trifles, it’s worth remembering that wonderful dress with a neckline that will simply be impossible to wear!

So - don't panic!

Allergies on the stomach in pregnant women

The period of bearing a child is characterized by a special load on the mother's body. For this reason, even those women who have never previously noticed a tendency to atypical reactions of the immune system may notice the appearance of allergies. A rash on the abdomen during pregnancy is a fairly common occurrence, so do not panic when you notice the appearance of red spots. To find out their nature, you need to consult a doctor.

Typically, allergies in the abdominal area in expectant mothers are caused by eating inappropriate foods. Many women note that they get a rash as soon as they eat a piece of chocolate, a spoonful of honey, strawberries, shrimp, chicken eggs and some other foods.

Another possible cause of rashes is a reaction to various stretch mark treatments. To protect yourself from such troubles, we recommend that you use proven high-quality products - oil or emulsion for the prevention of stretch marks "La-Cri". They contain natural oils, plant extracts, and vitamins. At the same time, the emulsion and La-Cri oil are hypoallergenic and do not contain fragrances, parabens, dyes or hormones.

If a pregnant woman has an allergy in the lower abdomen, it can be assumed that the expectant mother is wearing inappropriate underwear. If panties contain synthetic fibers, such underwear can cause allergies.

The cause of the rash can be dermatosis, a common problem for many pregnant women. In this case, treatment should be prescribed by a dermatologist.

Treatment of stomach allergies

If you notice the appearance of an allergic rash on your stomach, it is important to determine the reason why it appeared as soon as possible. To do this, you need to visit an allergist who will conduct an examination and prescribe the necessary tests or tests. Only after the allergen has been identified will the doctor select the appropriate therapy. This usually consists of taking antihistamines and creams or ointments to help relieve redness and itching.

Acne* on the back: which organ may not be working properly?

There is a myth that the location of acne is related to the functioning of a particular organ. Here are the organs that acne* on the back is supposedly responsible for [208]:

• liver (hepatitis);
• organs of the gastrointestinal tract;
• genitourinary system;
• endocrine system.

In fact, it is impossible to determine which organ hurts based on acne* on the back, because this hypothesis has no scientific evidence. Therefore, when treating rashes, specialists do not rely on this theory.

How to treat acne* on the back?

Treatment is prescribed by a specialist, based on the clinical picture and severity of acne. For mild acne, the emphasis is on external therapy and the use of topical medications. For moderate acne, combination treatment is necessary; for severe acne, systemic medications are mainly used. [18]

It is also recommended to adhere to the following rules:

• To cleanse the skin, use products without preservatives, oils, or fragrances;
• during periods of acne remission, scrub or use peelings for exfoliation;
• after playing sports or strenuous physical activity, be sure to take a shower immediately;
• wear comfortable clothes made of breathable materials;
• change bed linen and towels every week.

Acne treatment should be regular. You should not interrupt or abandon it, as this may reduce the effectiveness of therapy.

Causes of a rash on the stomach

There are several of the most common reasons that cause the appearance of rashes on this part of the body:

• Allergy. May be accompanied by burning, dry skin, itching in areas where the rash is localized. Swelling, nasal congestion, coughing, and in some particularly difficult cases, difficulty breathing, pressure surges, and even anaphylactic shock are also noted.
• Psoriasis. This disease has a chronic course, with alternating periods of remission and exacerbation.
• Scabies mite. This disease is characterized by the appearance of paired rashes in close proximity to each other.
• Infectious diseases such as: chickenpox, measles, rubella, scarlet fever. Each type of infection has its own characteristics, for example, with chickenpox, the rash appears in the form of small blisters with a red base; with measles, the rash appears first on the face and upper body and only on the 2nd day “reaches” the abdomen. Remember that in case of infectious diseases, the rash has a bright red tint, the person has a fever, chills, and feels weak and drowsy.
• Violation of personal hygiene rules.

Allergic rash on the stomach: what to do first?

What to do if you are sure that the rash on your stomach is an allergic reaction:

• Take a shower, cleanse the skin without injuring the irritated areas.
• Take an antihistamine.
• Relieve skin itching. To do this, you must always have La Cree cream in your medicine cabinet, which contains natural ingredients: oils, plant extracts.
