What to do if children have ringworm on their face

If a child has ringworm on his face, it will greatly reduce his appearance. Ringworm on the face is a very serious infectious disease and may cause similar problems on our own skin. We must pay attention to the cleanliness of the skin surface and avoid large-scale infection. Let's give a detailed introduction on what to do if a child has ringworm on his face.

1. It is a dermatophyte infection of the palm. If it only affects the back of the hand, ring-shaped or multiple ring-shaped lesions will appear. Tinea manuum is mostly caused by direct contact transmission from scratching tinea pedis, tinea cruris and tinea capitis, or the spread of tinea onychomycosis and tinea corporis on the back of the hands. Tinea manuum is widely prevalent throughout the world, with a relatively high incidence in my country, where most patients are young and middle-aged women. Traditional Chinese medicine products can be used to treat tinea manuum. It is recommended to use palm clearing cream for external application, which is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation, and can be applied directly to the affected area.

2. For the blister-scaly type, you can use miconazole cream, clotrimazole cream, compound benzoic acid ointment, compound resorcinol ointment, etc. The thickened keratosis type can be treated with compound benzoic acid ointment, miconazole cream or soaking in 10% glacial acetic acid. For those with chapped skin, urea fat can be added. Continue to apply the medicine for more than 2 weeks after the skin lesions subside.

Because hands are washed frequently, the frequency of topical medication should be increased, especially after washing hands, when ointment or cream should be applied. For patients with a long course of disease or poor response to local treatment, oral griseofulvin, ketoconazole or fluconazole, itraconazole, terbinafine and other drugs can be added for treatment.

Everyone can use the above methods to treat ringworm on children's faces. You can also use acupuncture to treat it. Acupuncture can help us expel toxins from children's faces and help us achieve a good healing effect. Never eat irritating foods, which may aggravate the condition.
