Jaundice is a common bacterial, infectious, and skin infection that affects the surface layers of the skin. This infection usually occurs on the skin of the face, arms and legs. Jaundice can occur at any age, but is more common in infants and children.
Common symptoms:
A red skin rash with numerous small blisters. Some blisters contain pus, and when they rupture, yellow crusts remain. The blisters do not bother the patient, but they may be itchy. Sometimes mild fever.
Causes of the disease:
Staphylococcal or streptococcal bacteria (or a combination thereof) that grow in the surface layers of the skin and cause infection.
Risk-increasing factors:
1. Inappropriate feeding
۲. Warm and humid climate
3. Crowded or unsanitary living environment
4. Inadequate health
5. The presence of a disease that has reduced the body’s resistance.
6. Sensitivity of the skin to sunlight and irritants and irritants to the skin, such as soaps and cosmetics.
Prevention:
1. Take a bath daily with soap and water.
۲. Keep your nails short. Do not scratch the blisters.
3. Do not share your razor blade with others.
4. If the disease is common in the family, get all members to use antibacterial soap.
5. Each family member must use a separate towel, or a disposable paper towel can be used temporarily instead.
Expected outcome:
It gets better with treatment in 7-10 days.
Possible side effects:
Infiltration of the infection into the deeper layers of the skin (actima or cellulite). This may leave a scar instead of an infection. The treatment for this condition is similar to jaundice. Acute glomerulonephritis (a type of disease that affects the filters of the kidneys).
– Treatment:
Diagnostic tests may also include a skin culture to identify the germ that causes the disease. Apply the recommendations mentioned in the prevention section. Rub the scrub gently with disinfectant gas and soap. Get rid of pus. Remove all croutons and thoroughly clean all debris and expose to air. If the croutons are stuck, soak them in warm soapy water and rub gently. Then cover the wounds with gauze and treat the gauze the same way, even if you are not sure if they are yellow. If possible, boil sheets, towels, clothing, and other items that have been in contact with the wounds separately. Men should shave around facial scars and not work on them. Use a dripping razor blade cream and change the razor blade every day. Do not use a brush to shave the roots as it may be a place for germs to grow.
Medications:
Antibiotic ointments may be prescribed. Oral antibiotics may be prescribed.
Activities:
There is no limit to it.
Diet:
No special diet is recommended.
In this case, see your doctor:
If you or your child have symptoms of jaundice. If fever occurs. If, despite treatment for three days, the sores continue to spread or do not heal.
