Eyes are considered a mirror of the human soul, and the skin clearly reflects the state of his health. The skin of a person displays all the abnormalities in the body in the form of spots, blisters, acne and ulcers. However, even taking into account the discomfort delivered by these rashes, their occurrence helps to identify many diseases of the gastrointestinal tract in the early stages.
Patients diagnosed with pancreatitis are familiar with red dots on their bodies. Gastroenterologists associate the appearance of these points with an exacerbation of the disease. Red droplets affect the area of the chest, back, abdomen and very rarely can be found on the neck, legs and arms. These points in medicine are called Tuzhilin's symptom.
Pancreatitis and its symptoms
Pancreatitis pain can be localized in different places:
- when the tail of the pancreas is affected, the pain is present mainly in the left hypochondrium, that is, slightly to the left of the navel;
- when the body of the pancreas suffers, then the epigastric region is covered with pain, also slightly to the left;
- with pathology of the head of the gland, it hurts to the right of the midline (Shoffar zone).
If the entire organ is affected, the pain is girdle-like. About half an hour after eating, discomfort in the stomach begins. Such manifestations are especially strongly felt if the food is spicy, fatty, smoked. When a person lies on his back, the pain intensifies. Should he take a sitting position - subsides. Only taking strong painkillers relieves the patient's condition.
But pancreatitis can occur in a painless form and indicate its presence in the body with red droplets on the body.
Red dots for pancreatitis
Red dots are vascular aneurysms. They appear due to pancreatic dysfunction, which produces enzymes and hormones that affect the condition of the skin. Sometimes their appearance is associated with an allergic reaction to certain drugs that restore the functionality of the pancreas. What does a person with Tuzhilin's symptom look like? The photo is presented below.
Localization
Where are the spots most often located in the syndrome? The spots are localized mainly on the patient's body, affecting most often the chest and abdomen, and can have a rounded regular shape. They are red in color and do not change color upon palpation. Basically, they do not cause anxiety, but sometimes they can cause pain, burning sensation or itching.
Such rashes indicate a violation of the pancreas. The greater their number, the sharper the course of the disease. Conversely, with a decrease in the number of points - symptoms of Tuzhilin's syndrome, the pathological process attenuates.
Not all cases of pancreatitis are accompanied by the appearance of such points, and therefore, to identify the causes of their appearance, you need to consult a gastroenterologist. From a physiological point of view, rashes of discomfort and ailments do not deliver. The patient’s problems are more likely psychological in nature, which affects the work of the digestive tract.
Diagnostics
Not only pancreatitis provokes Tuzhilin's symptom, but also some cardiovascular diseases. Gastroenterologists can determine the exact cause of the appearance of red spots-droplets. For this, special analyzes and methods are used.
The easiest way to diagnose a problem is pressure. If with a slight pressure on the droplet it turns pale, then the patient has an acute exacerbation of pancreatitis. The number of points in the patient depends on the extent to which the Tuzhilin symptom (red droplet symptom) is progressing. Photos of the signs of such manifestations are given in this article.
Treatment for red spots on the skin
The methods of treating Tuzhilin's symptom directly depend on the causes of its occurrence. However, to get rid of red spots, you still need to undergo certain medications. Before taking it, you need to make sure that the red dots are not an allergic reaction to medications for pancreatitis. If it still turns out that this is an allergy, you should immediately stop taking the drugs and replace them with others.
But if this is still a symptom of Tuzhilin, treatment is required. Admission to a gastroenterologist is a prerequisite. The treatment method is selected in a strictly individual order, and the biomaterial that was taken from the patient will help the doctor. Thanks to properly prescribed therapy, the number of red dots and manifestations of discomfort due to itching, burning, painful sensations can be reduced.
The most common treatment methods are as follows:
- the doctor will prescribe medications that remove toxins from the body and prevent their effect on the patient’s health if red dots cause bile acids in the patient’s blood;
- antihistamine medications treat the syndrome caused by allergies well. These are drugs that provide receptors that are responsible for the manifestation of allergies, a blocking effect.
Getting rid of red droplets on the human body and the discomfort that they cause requires the treatment of pancreatic disease, the course of which should be monitored by a qualified specialist.
Diet for the treatment of Tuzhilin syndrome
So, a person has a Tuzhilin symptom. A diet aimed at reducing the level of gastric secretion produced is an important condition for the treatment of red spots in pancreatitis, which significantly improves the patient's skin condition.
The essence of the diet is to exclude certain foods from the diet:
- spices;
- dishes rich in sugar and carbohydrates;
- canned foods;
- fatty meat (pork, lamb) and broths based on them;
- fried;
- butter products and pastries;
- sausages and smoked products.
Recommendations
This list can be adjusted by the doctor depending on the nature of the disease and individual characteristics. Eating should be 6 times a day in small portions. Of course, this depends on how Tuzhilin’s syndrome manifests itself, the symptoms, the treatment of which are closely related.
A prerequisite necessary for a full recovery is a restriction in tobacco smoking and refusal of alcohol. It will also be useful to lead an active lifestyle and frequent walks in the fresh air.
Conclusion
On the skin of a person displays the state of his health. Dysfunction of one of the vital organs causes the appearance of blisters, rashes and spots. Although Tuzhilin's symptom gives the patient some discomfort in the form of painful sensations, itching and burning, it allows timely diagnosis of pancreatic diseases in the early stages.
The appearance of the first red spots in the back, abdomen or chest should encourage the patient to seek help from a specialist, as this may not be a cosmetic defect, but a symptom of a serious illness.
