Learn about infectious dermatitis (purulent dermatitis)
Normally, there are many bacteria on the skin, most of which are staphylococcus and streptococcus. The bacteria are most concentrated in hairy areas, areas that often sweat, in folds, pores. Places where sweat, sebum, and dirt are concentrated are also the gateway for bacteria to enter the skin, causing infectious dermatitis, also known as purulent dermatitis.
1. Infectious Dermatitis â What is pyoderma?
Skin occupies the largest area in the body, whose main function is to protect the body from the external environment. However, the skin can also become infected. Skin infections have many causes and symptoms can range from mild to severe. Most mild skin conditions are treatable with over-the-counter medications and home-made topical hygiene measures, while more severe skin infections require medical attention.
Human skin is also a âfertile soilâ for many species of bacteria, even fungi and parasites. The most common types of bacteria are staphylococcus (staphylococcus) and streptococcus (streptococcus). Under normal conditions, these bacteria do not cause disease on the skin, but under favorable conditions (weak body, poor skin hygiene, hot environment, itching, scratching, trauma to the skin. , diabetesâŠ) then these bacteria will increase their toxicity and cause skin infections, most typically pyoderma.

2. Pyoderma caused by staphylococcus
Staphylococci often damage hair follicles. There are the following main types of disease:
Superficial folliculitis
Inflammation at a shallow site, at the top of the pore. Initially, the pores are slightly red and swollen, there is pain, then small pustules form, around the pore there is a narrow inflammatory halo. A few days later, the pustules dry up and leave behind a dark brown exudate. Eventually, the scab peels off and leaves no scars.
Deep folliculitis
Manifestations: around the hair follicle is swollen in many clusters, around the pore there are pustules. Pustules can grow scattered or concentrated in clusters, red, hard, rough, when squeezed will produce pus. Deep folliculitis usually concentrates on the chin, nape, scalp⊠often persistent, or recurrent.
Nail boils
This is also one of the folliculitis conditions. If the boil is large and profuse, it may be accompanied by fever, and the nearby lymph nodes are painful and swollen. Boils growing in the ear are often very painful, folk also call the name âbehindâ. Boils around the mouth are also known as ânail nailsâ, very dangerous because they can cause venous occlusion, bacteremia, and death.
Nail boils found on the nape, back and buttocks caused by staphylococcus aureus are highly toxic, common in the elderly, weak, alcoholics, diabetics, and eat poorly. When broken, the pus has many holes like honeycombs, which can cause sepsis complications and death.
Potholes
This is also a folliculitis, accompanied by inflammation of the sweat and sebaceous glands in the armpit, forming a deep pocket of pus in the dermis and dermis. Lesions are lumpy, often in the armpit, at first, the boil becomes hard, then softens and bursts with pus. There may be one or more potholes in an armpit. The disease often progresses persistently, or recurs, especially in the summer.
2. Pyoderma due to streptococci
There are many types of bacteria on the skin, most of which are staphylococcus and streptococcus, concentrated in hairy areas, sebum, sweat ⊠especially when the skin is exposed to a contaminated environment. During and after floods, people living in flooded areas have to come into contact with heavily polluted water sources, so they are very susceptible to skin inflammation.
Like staphylococcus, streptococcus is also a type of bacteria present on the skin, when conditions are favorable, they multiply rapidly and cause disease. On the other hand, environmental strep like dirty water can pe*****te the skin and cause disease. Streptococcal dermatitis has many forms:
Moment
In impetigo, streptococci often combine with pathogenic staphylococcus, children are more susceptible to the disease than adults. The disease is common in the head, neck, face, and extremities, from which it spreads to other places, very contagious, so it is also called impetigo.
The lesion begins as a small, round, vesicular vesicle with a red, inflamed halo. The water was clear at first, gradually turning into cloudy pus. The bullous and pustular phase is very short, then scabs with yellow discharge, under the scab is a layer of red, shallow, non-sticky erosion.
Children have head impetigo in clusters, dark yellow scales, sticky hair, under the crust red, watery skin. Impetigo lesions scattered throughout the body, may be accompanied by fever, complications of acute glomerulonephritis, edema of the legs, eyelids due to glomerulonephritis.
Treatment of scaly impetigo: apply gauze and wash with antiseptic solutions. If there is a pus-filled blister that has not yet broken, use an antiseptic needle to poke the pus out into the cotton, not to let the pus out into the healthy skin.
Dot antibacterial drugs milian, methylene blue 1%, eosin 2% or fucidic acid cream 2%âŠ
Treatment with systemic antibiotics.
Bathing should be done to avoid aggravating the injury.
Prevent infection by not sharing clothing, blankets, mosquito nets, towels, or other personal items with the patient.
Impetigo (Ecthyma)
This is a type of impetigo that spreads deep into the dermis, often in the lower extremities, especially in the extremities with varicose veins. The disease is common in patients with malnutrition, poor hygiene, diabetes or alcoholism.
Initially as a blister or pustule, then the pustule burst, crusted with thick dark yellow or dark brown scabs, scaly in many raised layers called snail scales. Peeling leaves a pale base ulcer, pus, few flesh buds, skin around the ulcer is purple, persistent, difficult to heal. If the impetigo is severe for a long time, it can become a deep ulcer: ulcer with clear boundaries, oval shape, wide and deep ulcer, sclerosis surrounding skin organization, pale color, very persistent development.
Treatment: wash the ulcer with 1/4,000 potassium permanganate solution, dot silver nitrate solution 0.25 â 0.50%, apply antibiotic ointment, take orally or inject antibiotics.
Intertrigo
Diarrhea is a common disease in obese children or people who sweat a lot. Lesions are common in the folds of the neck, the groin, the buttocks, the interstitium behind the ears, the navel, the skin folds. The interstitial folds are red, oozing fluid, with a thin outer edge of the skin, watery ulcers, very painful pus discharge.
Treatment: wash with 1/4,000 potassium permanganate water, dip in 0.25% silver nitrate solution, apply lake water, avoid applying ointment. Children need to be bathed regularly, changed diapers, sprinkled with talcum powder, baby powder in the folds.
Bumpy edge
Common in children, the two corners of the mouth are cracked, bleeding, yellow scabs, burning pain, easy bleeding, causing discomfort when eating and drinking. It can be spread by sharing cups and towels. Treatment: dip 0.25% silver nitrate solution, antibiotic ointment.
Erysipelas (Erysipelas)
It is a bacterial infection of the skin and under the skin caused by a highly virulent strain of Streptococcus pyogenes. The disease can be fatal even with hospital treatment. In particular, the disease is often severe in infants, the elderly or patients with other comorbidities. The incubation period is 2 to 5 days.
Onset: sudden high fever, convulsions in children, headache, malaria and vomiting. The skin in the diseased area feels tight, the second day will see red, edema, and shine. The erysipelas are bright red, from a few centimeters to tens of centimeters, slightly higher than the surface of the skin, clearly demarcated, with raised margins, very painful to squeeze.
Patients with high fever, lymph nodes near the lesion site are swollen and painful. Possible complications of endocarditis, arthritis, meningitis. In children, the mortality rate is 50% if complications are present. Treatment: antibiotics, combined with symptomatic relief of pain, sedation, vitaminsâŠ
3. Note when treating pyoderma and disease prevention
When there are symptoms of the disease, it is necessary to visit a medical facility to determine the disease and prevent complications (glomerulonephritis, sepsisâŠ).
Do not arbitrarily use antibiotics, topical drugs, plasters, leaves âŠ
Do not scratch the inflamed skin, do not squeeze the inflamed acne, not pusâŠ
Clean the body, should not eat too many foods with high sugar content.
Fortified with vitamins, a high-protein diet helps to increase the bodyâs resistance.
