Treatment breakdown

Causes of disease

MirSoveto found out the three main reasons for the occurrence of such a phenomenon:

1. Squeezing the skin area for a long time. Soft man fabrics, long lying in bed or sitting in a chair in one pose, are undergoing permanent pressure. As a result, the cells that are not supplied with blood and necessary oxygen, die - so appear lying.
2. Friction of epidermis about various surfaces that can occur at a time when the patient changes the position in bed and in contact with the bed. It is easy to be injured overly dry and sensitive skin.
3. The displacement of the skin arising in the case when two touching surfaces shifted in different directions. For example, when picked up the back of the bed, the patient slides slightly down. In some cases, his skin remains on the spot, as a result of which the blood circulation in this area deteriorates, and the epidermis is injured.

It should be added that some patients are more than others at risk of formation. The factors contributing to the development of the disease can be attributed:

• poor and irrational nutrition;
• Insufficient amount of liquid consumed;
• Commitment of harmful habits: smoking, alcohol use;
• Skin humidity due to abundant sweating;
• The presence of diseases of the cardiovascular system;
• overweight or, on the contrary, excessive thinness;
• non-compliance with hygiene rules;
• Allergies to a variety of creams and ointments;
• diabetes;
• Availability in bed or on native linen of any objects irritating skin: crumbs, folds, seams, buttons, etc.;
• Impact on urine epidermis or cartilage, which is a consequence of their incontinence.

Stages of the disease

Consider ways of treating the disease at various stages of its development.

Stage I Stage.

If you have noticed the first signs of the disease, begin to take therapeutic measures immediately. Seeing redness on the skin, which, when pressing, do not change colors, make them daily processing. It includes wipes with camphor alcohol or sea buckthorn oil. Remember that massaging the affected area is contraindicated.

Stage II.

In the case when the patient has the first ulcers, it is important to protect them from the penetration of infection and the development of further inflammation. Several times a day, the wounds need to disinfect chlorhexidine and lubricate healing means. This can be attributed to Levomecole, Aktovegin, Salcossuril. Now in the treatment of layers, special hydrogel and hydrocolloid bandages are actively used, contributing to healing wounds as soon as possible.

III and IV Stages.

The third and fourth stage of the disease require immediate appeal to the doctor. He must carefully inspect the affected area for infection and bone damage. Treatment should be started with wound cleansing, this is done using a solution Chlorhexidine. During the processing, it is desirable not to touch the ulcers, so you can simply pour on it fluid from the bottle. Thoroughly inspect the affected area, is there no dead skin or pus. If you identify something like that, the wound will be necessary to treat the preparation of proteoks-TM.

After the wound will be cleaned, you can apply on it a tampon impregnated with an oil. Instead, you can also use a means based on syntomicine or streptocide. In the event of inflammation as a wound-healing drug, you can select multifers. After the main swelling comes up, this expensive drug can be replaced cheaper, such as Comfil Plus. A bandage with this tool can not be removed from the wound to 5 days. Do not forget that before each change of such a bandage should be reinted with chlorhexidine.

A good option for healing an ulcer is declared decantenol, to handle the affected area need not less than 3 times a day. Doctors are not recommended for a long time to close the surface of the wound wound with a marry bandage, because it does not receive enough air through such a fabric, and too tight tied bandage, besides, worsens blood circulation. But in some cases, for example, in the process of rejection of dead cells from the surface of the proligene, you can use a gauze bandage impregnated with special enzymes.

Not so long ago, a new effective remedy for varieties appeared in pharmacology - alginates. They are sterile dressings made from seaweed, which are perfectly disinfected wound.

I would like to recall once again that it is not recommended to treat a similar disease independently. It is best to visit the doctor who, on the basis of the surveys conducted, will give all the necessary recommendations and prescribe the necessary drugs.
