Facial skin bacterial infection

Bacterial infection on the face is quite common in our daily life. There are many reasons for this bacterial infection, such as acne, skin allergies, etc., which may cause bacterial infection. If you do not pay attention to conditioning and treatment at this time, it will have adverse effects on your appearance. In daily life, we should first pay attention to skin cleanliness. We can use some oral and topical medications for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

Bacterial infection of facial skin

Bacterial skin diseases can occur on the skin all over the body, most commonly in exposed areas such as the head, face, neck, and hands. If redness, swelling, pain, or pus appears in these areas, a bacterial skin infection may have occurred. Bacterial skin infections should not be taken lightly, as they can cause serious harm to people's health. Bacterial skin diseases can be classified in the following ways:

(1) According to the bacterial species, it can be divided into coccal and bacillary skin diseases. Coccal infection of the skin is caused by pyogenic cocci, referred to as pyoderma, common

Impetigo, furuncle, folliculitis, meningococcal rash, scarlet fever, sepsis, toxic shock syndrome, etc. The skin diseases caused by bacilli mainly include cutaneous tuberculosis and leprosy, and others include typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, anthrax, erysipelas, plague, etc.

(2) According to the course of the disease, it can be divided into acute and chronic. Most bacterial, especially coccal, skin diseases are acute and have a short course. Only a few, such as skin tuberculosis and leprosy, are chronic processes.

(3) According to the pathogenesis, it can be divided into direct pathogenicity, indirect pathogenicity, or both. Direct pathogens such as folliculitis, furuncle, impetigo and some tuberculous rashes are lesions directly caused by bacteria at the site of invasion; indirect pathogens such as scarlet fever, toxic shock syndrome and most tuberculous rashes are mainly caused by allergic reactions (allergic to bacterial products) or poisoning reactions (damage caused by bacterial toxins). However, clinical situations are complex and the disease is changeable. Direct or indirect causes of disease are not absolute and should be analyzed based on specific circumstances.

Pathological measures

1. Take antiviral drugs.

2. Keep the area clean to avoid secondary bacterial infection.

3. When children have difficulty eating due to oral erosion, they can eat easily digestible food and rinse their mouths after meals.

4. You can apply chloramphenicol eye ointment or cod liver oil locally to relieve pain and promote early healing of the erosion surface.

5. You can take B vitamins orally, such as vitamin B2.

6. If accompanied by fever, you can use some Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying. The disease can usually heal itself in 1-2 weeks without leaving any sequelae, but it does not provide lifelong immunity, meaning that the disease can still be recurring again in the future.

Pay attention to skin cleanliness and hygiene, prevent trauma, and increase the body's disease resistance. For chronic recurrent folliculitis, furunculosis, etc., while actively treating them, pay attention to finding potential inducing factors, such as whether the patient has diabetes, whether he or she is taking hormone drugs for a long time, etc. When choosing topical antibiotics, you should pay attention to choosing drugs that have a broad antimicrobial spectrum, are not prone to drug resistance, and can easily penetrate the skin to exert a bactericidal effect. For example: erythromycin ointment, Bactroban ointment, green ointment, etc. are all selected medicines for bacterial skin infections.
