Localized scleroderma

Localized scleroderma is a disease with local changes in the connective tissue of the skin. It does not apply to internal organs and this is different from the diffuse forms. Diagnosis and treatment are dermatologists.

Around the some time is the lilac Corolla, which is judged on the activity of the vascular changes. Duration of a stage is uncertain. Atrophy may occur in a few years.

Linear (stripe-like) shape is more rare. The outline of the lesions resemble stripes. Are often on the extremities and forehead. On the face of the earth in a "saber strike".

White spot disease has the synonyms: drop-shaped scleroderma, Lychen lichen sclerosis, lichen white. Often occurs in conjunction with plaque form. It has been suggested that it is atrophic variant planus. Looks like a small whitish eruptions may be grouped in an extensive spot. Located on the trunk, neck. Women and girls in the vulva. Found in the form of:

  • common etiology of lichen sclerosus,
  • bullous forms small bubbles with serous fluid opening to form erosions and ulcers, dry up in peel;
  • of telangiectasia on the whitish areas appear dark vascular bundles.

Ulcerations, and soak said for the active process, complicates the treatment.

Lichen sclerosus (Ls) on the vulva is a rare manifestation of localized scleroderma. The majority of affected children (70%) are aged 10-11 years. The leading role in pathology is given to hormonal disruptions in the interaction between pituitary, adrenal and ovaries. Typically delayed puberty patients girls. The clinic represented a small atrophic whitish foci with indentations in the center and purple edges.

  • The antibiotic penicillin and its analogues "under cover" antigistaminnah drugs.
  • Enzymes (Lidaza, Ronidase, Chymotrypsin) to enhance the permeability of tissues. Similar effects have Aloe and placenta.
  • Vasodilators — nicotinic acid, Complamin, Teknikal, Trental, Mildronate.
  • Antagonists of calcium ions needed to reduce the function of fibroblasts and improve the blood circulation. Suitable Nifedipine Corinfar, Callguard retard. Physiological blockers is calcium Magne B6.
  • To prevent atrophy connect Retinol, topical ointment and Solcoseryl Actovegin.

If the lesions are isolated, used physiotherapy treatments:

  • phonophoresis with lydasum;
  • electrophoresis with Kuprenilom, Hydrocortisone;
  • magnetotherapy treatment;
  • laser therapy;
  • hyperbaric tissue oxygenation in a special chamber.

In the period of decline shows the hydrogen sulphide, coniferous andradon baths, massage, mud therapy.
