How does the virus become infected?
The virus can be infected in different ways: airborne droplets, contact (through shared towels, cutlery, through kissing), sexual intercourse, self-expression (when the virus from ulcers enters healthy mucous membranes and infects them). You can become infected through a blood transfusion and a child can receive the virus from the mother in utero. The incubation period (from the moment of contact until the first signs appear) is 2-14 days. A person becomes contagious as soon as sores appear on the lip, and is contagious to others until the scabs fall off .

Why do cold sores appear on the lips?
Those who suffer from herpes have noticed that exacerbations begin along with ARVI. Herpes occurs when immunity decreases, the protective forces of which are used to suppress ARVI. Colds on the lips also appear when the body’s defenses are weakened: with chronic fatigue, lack of sleep, frequent stress, poor diet, alcohol abuse and active smoking, in women at the beginning of pregnancy and in the first 5-7 days after childbirth.

It manifests itself as burning and itching in the lip area, and its swelling. 2. The second stage begins with the appearance of bubbles. At first small, they grow and fill with clear liquid. After a couple of days the liquid becomes cloudy. 3. The third stage of the disease is characterized by rupture of the vesicles. In place of the burst blisters, ulcers with swelling form. This stage is dangerous due to the development of complications. The person at this moment is very contagious. 4. In the fourth stage, the ulcers become covered with a dense crust. 5.

- Herpetic eye damage begins with pain in the eyes and lacrimation. A person cannot open his eyes due to severe pain. A dangerous condition that can result in blindness.
- Herpes of the esophagus. Occurs when herpes spreads from the lips. There are difficulties when swallowing, severe pain, refusal to eat and weight loss.

Treatment
For any type of seborrhea, it is important to correctly diagnose and choose treatment. To do this, you need to contact a dermatologist or trichologist. Only after a comprehensive examination can a treatment plan for seborrheic dermatitis be drawn up.
It is necessary to wisely choose cosmetic products for the care of the scalp, as well as products with antifungal effects and normalizing the function of the sebaceous glands.
For seborrhea of the scalp, shampoos with antifungal components (zinc pyriton, ketoconazole, naftalan oil, tar) are indicated. These shampoos not only eliminate fungi, but also reduce inflammation, swelling and itching.
Antihistamines are used to eliminate skin irritation and itching.
If there are dense layers of scales on the skin, then drugs are used to soften them. Then apply external agents with antifungal components. For severe seborrheic dermatitis, antifungal drugs are prescribed orally for 1-2 weeks.
Depending on the location of seborrhea, gels, ointments, shampoos, aerosols, and tonics are used to cure it. In this case, the individual tolerance of certain drugs is taken into account.
A good effect is observed from taking combination drugs that include glucocorticosteroids, antibiotics and antifungals. Medicines with this composition act on several causes of the disease at once:
- glucocorticosteroids have anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antipruritic effects and reduce the secretion of exudate;
- the antifungal component suppresses the development of the Malassezia fungus;
- An antibiotic destroys pathogenic bacteria.
Additional recommendations
During the treatment period, you must adhere to the following recommendations:
- Avoid cosmetics, as they can lead to skin irritation and allergies.
- Men who have seborrheic dermatitis on their face should not shave with blades. To remove hair, it is better to use a gentle method - use an electric razor once every 2-3 days.
- Instead of washing your face every day, it is useful to wipe your face with special lotions designed for people with skin diseases. Lotions based on micellar water cleanse the skin and enhance its recovery processes.
- It is not recommended to use soap to cleanse the skin, as it disrupts the activity of the sebaceous glands. It is better to use medicated washing gels and shampoos that do not contain soap, dyes and fragrances. Preparations based on deresined naphthalan, extracts of burdock, Japanese Sophora, and vegetable oils are effective.
- Physiotherapy is useful for improving blood circulation in the skin, normalizing metabolism and rapid healing of inflammation. A good effect is observed from the use of cryotherapy, cryomassage, laser and magnetic therapy of skin lesions, as well as darsonvalization.
- To achieve stable remission, it is necessary to treat diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Avoid foods that contribute to the development of seborrheic dermatitis. These are fatty, fried, sweet foods and dishes. Lean meat, vegetables, fruits, and dairy products are healthy. The diet includes foods with a high content of vitamins B, A, C, as well as zinc and selenium.
- The environment has a significant impact on the condition of the skin. In hot and humid climates, the activity of the sebaceous glands increases, which contributes to the proliferation of fungi on the skin. At home, it is recommended to use dehumidifiers. Patients with seborrheic dermatitis should not visit saunas and steam baths.
Complications
Without treatment, seborrheic dermatitis can spread throughout the scalp and may affect the eye and eyebrow areas. Over time, foci of layered keratinized cells form on the skin and the development of streptoderma is possible. Crusts in places of inflammation tend to crack, which leads to the formation of wounds and their infection.
With seborrhea, increased hair loss is possible, and patchy baldness (alopecia) may appear.
When the foci of seborrheic dermatitis merge, seborrheic erythroderma is formed. Reddened, scaly areas merge, there may be an increase in body temperature to 37.1 ° C - 38 ° C.
If the signs of seborrheic dermatitis are accompanied by weeping and cracking of the skin, then seborrheic eczema develops.
In order not to encounter complications of seborrheic dermatitis, it is necessary to strictly follow the treatment prescribed by the doctor and not replace it with traditional medicine.
Prevention
To prevent seborrheic dermatitis, you need to monitor your health and follow the following recommendations:
- Select hair care products according to the characteristics of your skin and hair.
- Maintain good hygiene. Regular hair washing eliminates favorable conditions for the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria and fungi.
- Consult a specialist who will select a shampoo with the optimal pH for hair care. To do this, you need to understand the composition of their components. Therapeutic shampoos gently cleanse the skin of dandruff and have a beneficial effect on the condition of the hair.
- Nutrition has a great influence on the condition of the skin and hair. Sufficient amounts of fiber, vegetables and fruits in the diet help improve digestion, strengthen the immune system, and improve skin condition.
- You should also pay attention to hair styling products. They should not cause allergies and should match your hair type. It is not recommended to frequently dry your hair with a hairdryer, as drying your hair and skin contributes to the development of seborrheic dermatitis.
If you notice signs of seborrheic dermatitis, contact a professional. RTH specialists will determine the cause of the disease and draw up an individual treatment plan.
