Bubbles on the skin may vary in their types.and sizes. The big ones are called bulls, the small ones (the most common) are vesicles. The causes of bubbles are many. Consider the main.
Insect bites
They are usually small.bubbles the size of a nail head. Occasionally (for example, when a blackbite bites), irritation (most often redness) and swelling appear. To deal with the problem is not difficult. In most cases, lubrication of the affected area with vinegar or garlic juice helps. If you are allergic to bites, you will need a medical consultation.
Herpes virus
Also manifested in the form of a bubble (or several at once). There are two types of herpes - type I and II. The first of them settles in the body forever and "wakes up" with a decrease in immunity.
The first kind usually appears on the mouth, on the lips,under the nose. There are, however, ointments that slightly accelerate healing (Vivorax, Acyclovir, Zovirax, Acyclovir-Acre, Acyclovir-Hexal, Acyclostad). However, remember: these drugs do not cure. According to statistics, 95% of the entire population of the planet is infected with normal herpes ("cold"). If it manifested itself once in your life, it will definitely “come around” again.
The second type of herpes (another name -genital) is most often manifested by rashes on the penis, the labia (at the entrance to the vagina). Transmitted by sexual contact (of all kinds). People are not only infected with pronounced signs of the disease, but also those who are asymptomatic. Infection can be transmitted by a pregnant woman to her fetus. The incubation period is extended (usually up to a month).
In case of primary herpes, patients in the locationvirus feel burning, swelling, sometimes pain. Possible general malaise and painful urination. Then small bubbles appear on the skin, filled with liquid, which soon burst (wounds form). Healing can take two weeks. In case of a relapse, the discomforts are less pronounced, the blisters on the skin are poured out in a smaller volume, the healing is faster. Stress, hypothermia, disease contribute to the re-manifestation. Drugs for full recovery does not exist yet.
Chickenpox
The disease is considered childish, becauseadults, it is rarely observed. However, to exclude the possibility of infection after 15-18 years is impossible. It must be said that adults tolerate infection with this type of virus (Varicella-zoster) is very difficult, even deaths are possible. The disease is transmitted with ease, even without personal contact. Enough stay in the same room (car, bus, etc.). The incubation period is up to three weeks. At this time, it is already possible to infect others. There is depression, chills, headache.
Shingles
Occurs after the transfer of chicken pox (notalways) in adults. The causative agent is the same. Children who are in contact with the carrier, on the contrary, develop chickenpox. Neuralgia pain (in the future place of manifestation), itching, tingling, fever precedes cutaneous manifestation. Soon swelling is observed with the formation of a group of nodules (often paired) filled with fluid. Local lymph nodes increase, pain increases. A week later (approximately) the bubbles on the skin dry up. The formed crusts fall off, leaving pigmented spots. The course of uncomplicated disease lasts about 3 weeks.
Shingles affects not only the skin, but alsonervous system. The pain may persist for several more months. Indifferent powders, aniline dyes (in the form of local alcohol solutions), zinc paste, painkillers and antiviral drugs, vitamins, ultraviolet irradiation are recommended for treatment.
In addition, skin bubbles can indicate other diseases:
- pemphigus (any of the three types);
- burns;
- pemphigoid bullosa;
- eczema;
- Dühring dermatitis;
- epidermolysis (bullous);
- allergy.
The information given in the article is introductory. Any of these diseases require expert advice. Treatment is prescribed only after examination.
