We quickly get rid of parasites under the skin in humans

People are accustomed to associating the word "parasites" with worms common in the human colon. But their localization can be so varied that the patient has not even known about the presence of parasites under the skin for years. Yes, uninvited guests can sit comfortably under human skin andtheir size can rarely be called microscopic.

Types and symptoms of parasites

Is your body itchy? Purulent pimples on the face? Are your eyes confused at times? All of these are subcutaneous parasites that move briskly in the body and can affect internal organs. Such movement occurs on its own or with the flow of blood. The patient may not know of such a "phenomenon" for many years until some worm gets under the epidermis layer and "greets" him.

To make the reader even more frightening, it is necessary to give the characteristics of the types of possible parasites whose habitat is only under the skin.

Filariasis

If you go to tropical countries, be prepared to fight insects that, through their bite, can not only cause trouble in the form of itching or pain, but can infect you with parasites of the nematode species - filariasis. The risk of the disease lies in the long incubation period - about 5-7 years. During this time, the parasites will multiply in the human body without giving themselves any signal.

With the large amount of waste products thrown into the body, poisoning gradually begins to develop in humans, which is manifested primarily by hives typical of the skin. It only causes itching in the initial stage. In the future, the patient will feel more movable seals, face vision loss, and cope with acute fever.

As for the diagnosis, here the patient is examined by a specialist when he or she contacts the clinic. You can see worms crawling under the skin with the naked eye, they are also perfectly visible when examining the eyes. The person skilled in the art will diagnose and prescribe the appropriate treatment by clarifying the course of the disease and the events that precede it.

Important!If you travel to hot countries, do not neglect vaccination, even if it is not required by visa control or health services.

Drakunculiasis

The helminths of the presented group enter the body through the ingested contaminated water. It contains larvae, which are in principle impossible to detect. But the infection itself can be fatal to a person, as larvae can be up to a meter in size. One of these helminths may settle in the stomach or penetrate the lungs, completely blocking the person's breathing. But this is rare, as in most cases this type of parasite is chosen by the lower extremities of man.

The symptoms are as follows:

• itching of the lower extremities;
• characteristic roller formation on the legs or feet;
• various purulent lesions of the skin;
• specific bubbles at least 8 cm in diameter that simply explode when exposed to water.

Pay close attention to the type of water you drink because it is easier to protect yourself and your loved ones from such an infection than to seek treatment.

Scabies

All unpleasant scabies is manifested only by itching, rarely you can find any changes in the skin in the form of spots and redness. This is caused by skin mites, which only become infected when they interact with another carrier of the disease or when they come in contact with their clothing.

Ticks are small in size, invisible to the naked eye, but their activity in the body is quite extensive. When penetrated into the skin, parasites chew through their passages in the deep layers of the epidermis - this causes itching. During long walks by parasites, passages begin to appear on the skin, and if the surfaces are treated with iodine, you may notice the characteristic cobweb of such passages.

The related signs are:

• bubbles are formed at the scratch site;
• the hands and joint surfaces are more affected.

Important!Although it can be quickly diagnosed by a specialist, treatment can take a long time, so it is better to listen to the precautions against infection.

Demodecosis

Of the many species of parasites, ticks caused by ticks of the genus Demodex are worth mentioning. Their distribution is mainly localized in the sebaceous glands of the face, which is presented in the form of characteristic pimples. Externally, such a reproduction seems very attractive. Eyelash loss is also called lesions and symptoms.

It only takes a few minutes to diagnose such a lesion. The doctor will simply examine the skin. But the treatment can take several years, even if all the instructions of the specialist are strictly followed.

Diagnosis of subcutaneous pests

In most cases, the diagnosis of the affected skin is made directly in the office of a specialist who can already visually determine the disease. But to accurately identify the cause and concomitant lesions of the internal organs, the patient requires a comprehensive medical examination. First, all lesions must be clarified, and second, it is possible in this way to find the focus of the accumulation of parasites (if any) and to quantify them approximately.

If you find any unpleasant symptoms in the form of a rash, itching or other changes, consult the following specialists:

• dermatologist;
• allergist;
• neuropathologist;
• medical psychologist;
• specialist in infectious diseases.

A comprehensive examination includes a visit to a neurologist and a medical psychologist, as itching and rash are often a simple psychological disorder. But such visits are only due to a lack of an accurate diagnosis, which was not made after an examination by a local doctor.

Of particular importance in identifying the type of disease is the laboratory diagnosis of the patient, which accurately shows the presence of parasites under the skin or in the internal organs. Such a survey consists of two stages:

1. Direct diagnosis of parasites - Scratching or smearing the mucosa is used to study the changes. The direct method is used in case of a clear manifestation of the presence of parasites: redness, blisters, purulent pimples.
2. The second stage involves testing the blood for the presence of antigen-antibody complexes, which accurately determines the immune response in the human body to fight parasites. In general, discarded elements of the vital activity of parasites almost completely destroy the protective antibodies, with the result that the weakened immunity of the organism is unable to overcome the invasion and activity of uninvited guests.

To prescribe treatment, the type of parasite that has entered the human body must be precisely determined. Here, the contents of the blisters on the skin and other important biological substances are often taken up by scraping the skin or smearing the mucous membranes, hair, blood, nails, and feces.

Treatment

It is impossible to say exactly about the treatment of subcutaneous parasites. Here, their localization, area, and stage of change play an important role.

For general information, only the following techniques can be mentioned:

1. Subcutaneous mites should be removed with medication, based on the elimination of all kinds of parasites in the body. Here, professionals often prescribe acaricides as well as antihistamines. For external use, antibiotics, ointments and gels, and vasoconstrictors such as aqueous adrenaline-resorcinol solution are effective. The instructions for use and treatment regimen will be explained by your doctor, depending on the stage of the lesion.
2. Dracunculosis is subject to surgery. Including any kind of worm that has spread under the skin of a person or has already hit the internal organs. The risk of such lesions lies in the spread of parasites in the internal organs, which often causes the brain to suffer. Therefore, the patient should undergo a full comprehensive examination to find out the location of the worms.

The general principle of removing parasites from the body is done in two ways - a conservative method and a surgical procedure. The use of alternative methods for the treatment of subcutaneous parasites is not recommended as it is time consuming and the damage to the body can already be severe and can have consequences for the later life of the patient.

Prophylaxis

Infection with parasites occurs through direct contact with a sick person or infected area when consuming poor quality food or water. Violation of hygiene rules is the leading cause of parasitic infection.

In order to protect yourself from the problems presented, you need to do the following:

1. Wash hands before eating, each time you come in contact with objects in public places, and after using money.
2. Don’t try other people’s things because they can be infected with parasites whose larvae are located on the skin and are thus easily transmitted.
3. Do not use other people's cosmetics. Lipsticks, mascaras, someone else’s soap, and other items can be the same carriers for parasitic larvae.
4. When consuming fruits and vegetables, be sure to expose them to washing and other cleaning procedures from dirt and dust - there may be harmful larvae.
5. In case of wounds or abrasions, they should be treated immediately to prevent infection.

Take care of your health and be required to have vaccinations if you are traveling to upcoming tropical countries. Do not refuse to help and treat wounds, bites, and other mechanical damage to the skin. This way you can protect yourself from uninvited guests visiting.
