Rashes on the skin in the form of red spots are considered quite common today. This symptom is a sign of a certain pathology. If we turn to the clinical picture of diseases, then only in dermatology can we count about 50 ailments, the main symptom of which will be skin rashes in the form of red spots.
Only an experienced doctor can make the correct diagnosis and prescribe the right treatment, so you should not delay the visit to the clinic. Most often, skin rashes can indicate the presence of the following ailments.
Infectious skin diseases
The transmission path is contact or airborne. Usually, in the initial stages of the development of the disease, the patient has a rash on the skin in the form of red spots. They spread over a sufficiently large area of the body, causing an increase in temperature. Such ailments include: scarlet fever, chickenpox, rubella, measles, meningitis, lichen. With these diseases, local drugs, heavy drinking, vitamins and bed rest are prescribed. With measles and chickenpox, the spots are smeared with a solution of potassium permanganate or brilliant green. With scarlet fever, rashes are accompanied by peeling of the skin and general malaise (nausea, chills, drowsiness).
Vascular and heart diseases
Often fractional skin rashes in the form of red spots are the first sign of dysfunction of the autonomic system, as well as vascular dystonia. This symptom is especially pronounced with an unstable state of the nervous system (fear, excitement). With dystonia, the patient’s vessels dilate significantly, losing their tone, which leads to the appearance of a “spotted pattern” on the skin. It is unlikely to be able to completely get rid of it, but it is quite realistic to reduce the severity.
To do this, it is quite enough to take a contrast shower from time to time, perform physical exercises and apply other measures to normalize vascular tone.
Allergy
Red spots are the first sign of an allergic reaction of the body, most often to foods and medicines. They may not cause any inconvenience, but may turn into itchy blisters. To get rid of the rash, you should determine the allergen and exclude any contact with it. Histamine blockers are used to suppress symptoms: Loratadin, Kestin, Tavegil, etc.
Photodermatosis
Often, rashes appear after prolonged exposure to the open sun as a reaction to UV rays. In this case, swelling and redness of the skin can be observed. Some analgesics, cosmetics and antibiotics can also cause stains. After determining the cause of the disease, get rid of the factors that cause it and, after consulting with your doctor, take anti-allergic drugs.
Psoriasis
Skin diseases, the photos of which are presented in this article, are almost always accompanied by a rash. With psoriasis, spots can reach quite large sizes.
Usually they are localized on the lower back, elbows, buttocks and knees. Over time, they can increase, merging with each other, and peel off.
Dermatitis
The exacerbation of the disease is observed in the cold, as a rule, in the summer comes a remission. To get rid of this ailment is completely impossible. From time to time, itching, red spots and peeling will still remind of oneself. During an exacerbation, it is recommended to use hormonal ointments and antiallergic drugs.
