Yam ointment and tar for the treatment of demodicosis, harm is more than good

Recently, on the Internet, it is often advised to use tar and means based on it for the treatment of problem skin - tar soap, Yam veterinary ointment and tar-sulfur paste. Today I want to talk about how such a clumsy treatment can turn out for your skin in the future.

I myself went through treatment with Yam tar ointment from Demodex according to the "famous scheme" of doctor Loshakova, the partial stages of which have long been posted on the net and are not a secret (I myself gave my friends to copy this scheme).

Therefore, I will not focus on this technique yet, but will tell you about my personal experience and the study of the use of tar in other countries.

How to use the ointment

This instruction does not exist, but one can be found in various search engines. Recommendations are based, taking into account the constituent substances, their time of therapeutic action and the onset of adverse reactions.
So that you have an idea of ​​what to deal with, we will tell you about the appearance of the ointment. It is a gray-brown pasty mass with a specific odor. Therefore, you have to get used to and come to terms with the upcoming amber.

To enhance the effect of the drug, as in conventional treatment processes, the skin must first be prepared - from dirt or any antiseptic. After thorough mixing, apply the ointment in a thin layer evenly over the problem area or pointwise, affecting a small area of ​​healthy skin, with a light rub.

Application should be single or 2 times a day. The duration of the ointment gradually increases: the first three days, therapy should be 5 minutes, then it doubles, after which the procedure is brought to a 15-minute process. It is not worth keeping more of this time, remember the side effects in the form of irritation and burns.

After holding the ointment on the problem area, it will not work to wash off the composition with tap water. You will need a cotton swab with vegetable oil. After that, the remaining oil is thoroughly washed with warm water. This is due to the presence of turpentine in the composition. Wash your hands too.

The result of the treatment is noticeable already on the tenth day. And the course is from one to two months, after which, having passed the tests and carried out a microscopic examination, they complete or continue the treatment.

Be careful after application as there is a risk of staining clothes and linen. The ointment has a greasy consistency, therefore it is slowly absorbed into the skin. And stains from it on clothes are hard to wash off.

If the drug gets into the eyes or mucous membranes, it is necessary to rinse them with a large volume of warm water. You can remove the ointment from the skin with a cotton swab dipped in vegetable oil.

From demodicosis to humans

This medicine can separate during long-term storage, therefore, before use, it must be thoroughly mixed to a homogeneous consistency. Before applying it, the face should be thoroughly cleansed. To do this, you can use tar soap or a special face gel.

The ointment is applied to dry skin: before the procedure, the face must be blotted with a towel or paper napkin.

The course of treatment is several days.

It is important to follow the rules for using the drug, otherwise the desired result will not be achieved

The first three days of the course, the drug is applied to the damaged areas of the face for five minutes. After this time, its remnants are gently erased.

Yam has a very dense consistency, so it cannot be washed off with ordinary water. It is advisable to purchase a special gel for washing in advance, you can use baby or tar soap.

On the fourth day of treatment, the ointment should be left on the skin for 10 minutes. On the following days, Yam is applied for 10-15 minutes.

It is very important not to exceed this time, otherwise serious irritation and even burns may occur.

During the procedure, you should protect your clothes from getting the drug: it is quite difficult to wash it off.

Use of the drug

Before you start using Yam ointment, you need to consult with a qualified specialist and undergo diagnostics. You can buy the medicine at any pharmacy. Before using the product, you need to shake the bottle slightly. This procedure will allow the components that make up the product to mix, as they are often prone to separation from each other with prolonged non-use of the drug. It is recommended to apply the product to the affected area with a cotton pad.

You do not need to be zealous with the amount of the drug, so the layer of ointment should be minimal. For a more effective fight against the source that led to the disease, it is also necessary to process the space around the affected area (distance of 3 cm). There is no need to peel off crusts or exfoliate from the skin prior to application.

In order for the ointment to work in the most productive way, it should be applied with lightly rubbing movements. It is necessary to resort to the use of Yam ointment a day several times. Most often, the doctor recommends doing this in the morning and evening.

If the product needs to be removed from the skin, then any vegetable oil will help with this. After a few seconds, using a paper napkin, you need to gently, smoothly remove the layer of ointment. Oil makes it possible to carry out this event quickly enough and effortlessly. Then the skin must be treated with soapy water in order to remove the remaining oil.

The course of treatment is divided into specific stages. First, the agent is used until cortical formations appear on the affected areas, which begin to separate from the skin. Usually, this requires rubbing in the medicine for 5 days. If the disease is neglected or in severe form, it may take more time, but before treatment it is necessary to consult a specialist.

After completely freeing the skin from cortical formations, the doctor must conduct laboratory tests aimed at identifying the presence of the pathogen. If it is still present in the affected areas, then the use of the drug is resumed.

At the end of the treatment, the skin needs abundant hydration, since the drug is capable of having a drying effect. To solve this problem, it is recommended to use glycerin. It must be applied in small portions 2 times a day until dry areas are completely restored.

Yam ointment is an effective remedy that can cope with demodicosis on human skin. However, before using it, be sure to consult with a specialist.

The general opinion of those who used the remedy

Most of the patients who have been prescribed Yam note a fairly quick effect from the use of the drug. Inflammation diminishes on average two to three weeks after starting treatment.

The cosmetic defect that accompanies demodicosis becomes less pronounced.

The appearance of the skin affected by microscopic mites is quite typical, so people suffering from demodicosis experience psychological discomfort, avoid communication and sometimes try to go outside less often so as not to attract undue attention to themselves.

Thanks to Yam, the skin condition is normalized very quickly. Of course, it does not become smooth after two weeks, however, after the end of the course, the defects can be masked with the help of cosmetics. A particularly pronounced effect can be achieved if other means are used simultaneously with the ointment, for example, Trichopol tablets.

However, patients also note some disadvantages of the ointment. The main one is the specific smell of the drug: in the reviews, many write that it literally permeates the body, haunts, even when the product is washed off.

Due to the consistency, the product must be rubbed thoroughly, which can cause additional irritation to the damaged areas. Because of these shortcomings, many people quit the course and turn to a dermatologist to find an easier-to-use drug for demodicosis.

Description of Yam ointment

Why YAM ointment helps with acne

Hello our dear readers! Today we will understand in detail how Yam ointment can help with demodicosis, as well as to whom and how it can be used.

Common skin problems pale in comparison to some diseases that pose serious health risks.

It is to such diseases that demodicosis, caused by the activation and increase in the number of (Demodexes), belongs.

Why is this happening?

Mites that live on healthy skin are few and far between. They are powered by:

• keratinized particles of the dermis;
• sebum cells;
• hair follicles.

If the body fails in the work of individual organs, or immunity decreases, the skin immediately reacts to this: the sebaceous glands begin to produce increased sebum, the pores gradually become clogged, etc.

In the course of its life, Demodex releases special substances that cause skin irritation.

To eliminate the rash and itching, Yam ointment, used for external treatment, will help.

Diet with demodicosis allowed and prohibited foods, sample menu

Demodecosis is a disease of the skin and hair of the body, which is caused by the microscopic worm-like mite Demodex (Demodex).

This microorganism is a component of the normal human microflora. It lives on the skin of 98% of people and does not bother them in any way until certain conditions are created for its development.

The skin mite is activated only in the event of a sharp decrease in immune defense and violation of certain body functions.

Diet with demodicosis is the most important component of complex therapy. Compliance with some dietary rules makes it possible to prevent the spread and destroy ticks, which are provocateurs of the disease.

Causes and symptoms

A mite (demodex, acne gland, ciliary mite), which causes pathological processes, lives in the sebaceous glands and hair follicles of the skin.

Localization sites on the skin of the face:

• superciliary arches;
• eyelids;
• forehead;
• nasal wings;
• the chin.

Insects can also live in eyebrows, eyelashes, auricles.

The most favorable places for the development and maintenance of vital activity of the tick are places with active sebum secretion.

With proper skin care, a person may never face such a disease. However, under certain circumstances, the tick is activated and becomes visible to the eye.

Demodectic mange is a pathology that entails consequences from both a medical and a cosmetic point of view. In severe cases, ugly scars and depressions remain on the face.

According to statistics, men suffer from demodicosis two times less often than women. This is due to the fact that when shaving, together with the bristles, the micron layer of the epidermis is scraped off, where insects predominantly live.

Tick ​​development factors

The skin is a mirror that reflects the state of human health. Many pathological processes occurring in the body are manifested through the skin. Demodectic mange is no exception. Symptoms of the disease can signal a poured disturbance in the work of many organs.

Factors contributing to the development of Demodex can be:

• low immunity;
• disruption of the endocrine and digestive system;
• liver diseases;
• frequent stress;
• pathologies of the nervous system - neuroses, psychosis, phobias;
• costs of the profession - dusty, gassed unventilated premises;
• dysfunction of the sebaceous glands;
• dermatological diseases;
• taking hormonal drugs;
• long exposure to direct sunlight;
• bad habits - nicotine, alcohol, drugs;
• unhealthy diet - fatty, spicy, sweet foods, fast foods, carbonated drinks.

The effectiveness of pathology therapy depends primarily on identifying the true cause that provokes the development of the tick and on its elimination.

The problem is not solved by removing the symptoms - the pathology in any case will make itself felt more than once.

Symptoms

Pathology goes through several stages of development.

At the initial stage, the clinical picture does not distinguish demodicosis from a common rash or skin inflammation:

• dryness;
• enlarged pores;
• redness;
• tuberosity.

As the progression progresses, severe symptoms appear that cannot be ignored. The stage occurs due to the lack of adequate treatment.

Accompanying symptoms:

• enlargement of the nose (rhinophyma);
• ulcers, pustules appear in places of the rash;
• feeling of crawling, tickling, itching;
• loss of eyebrows, eyelashes, hair;
• defeat of the eyelids;
• eye pathologies - conjunctivitis, blepharitis;
• the skin is crusty.

In addition to the face, demodicosis extends to the hips, chest, back, arms. Judging by the clinical picture, the disease brings a lot of discomfort to a person. At the same time, the emotional state suffers.

At the first alarming symptoms, you should consult a doctor. The diagnosis is made by an ophthalmologist or dermatologist. With the help of simple laboratory tests, a specialist will make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe treatment.

It will not be possible to remove the symptoms of the disease from the outside by means of creams, face masks, lotions and other care cosmetics. An important aspect in treatment is nutrition for face demodicosis.

Contraindications and side effects

Ointment Yam, despite its unsightly appearance and unattractive odor, has a minimum of side effects. Usually they are associated with non-compliance with the rules for using the tool, and are expressed in the form:

• skin burns;
• local allergic reaction;
• deterioration in general health (dizziness, weakness, nausea).

A contraindication to its use can only be the presence of individual intolerance to individual components of the drug (for example, turpentine or birch tar).

To check the skin reaction, a small area of ​​the forearm or wrist skin is treated with an ointment, and after 5 minutes it is examined.

If during this time there are no unpleasant sensations in the form of burning, itching, the remedy can be safely used for its intended purpose.

First of all, these are women who are breastfeeding or carrying a baby, as well as patients with hypertrichosis and the presence of open wounds on the skin damaged by the mite.

We hope that detailed information about Yam ointment will help you get rid of demodicosis, dear readers, if there is one.

Before starting treatment, be sure to consult with your doctor, perhaps he will cancel other previously prescribed drugs.

A rash on the face occurs for many reasons: from insufficient hygiene with excessive activity of the sebaceous glands, in the presence of allergies or chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, hormonal disorders. For some people, even a slight deterioration in well-being causes strange rashes and itching of the skin of the face. Why is this happening?

A microscopic mite lives on the skin of almost every person, which feeds on dead cells, the remnants of hair follicles and sebum. It is present in small quantities, therefore it does not cause trouble. But with the confluence of unfavorable factors, the tick begins to multiply intensively. The activity of a large number of skin mites leads to skin inflammation and rashes.

A skin disease caused by the demodex mite is called demodectic mange. Since the "favorite delicacy" of this microorganism is sebum, it prefers to settle where there is a lot of it - on the forehead, nose, cheeks, and sometimes on the auricles. He loves demodex and hair follicles, therefore he often lives in the eyelash area and near the scalp.

It is not the tick itself that is dangerous and harmful to humans, but the products of its vital activity. They contain substances that often lead to allergies, inflammation, swelling, and an increase in the vascular network. The area affected by a large number of ticks becomes inflamed, reddens, and becomes covered with a rash.

Symptoms

Demodectic mange does not differ from acne and allergic rashes, moreover, their symptoms are similar. The final diagnosis of the disease is possible only after the analysis of skin particles from the area of ​​localization of the rash is carried out. You can suspect the presence of demodicosis when the following symptoms are manifested:

1. Localization of the rash in the area of ​​a large accumulation of sebaceous glands looks like a wart.
2. The appearance of a strong oily sheen.
3. The skin on the face itches, the itching becomes stronger after washing the face and in the evening.
4. Reddened and swollen areas are observed near the rash.
5. Loss of eyelashes, a crust forms in their place.
6. Hyperemia and swelling of the eyelids.
7. Peeling skin on the eyelids.

Treatment of Trichopolum disease

The most effective treatment for demodicosis will be if you use several means that are suitable for the patient at the same time. Trichopol tablets are an effective drug used for the treatment of demodicosis.

Trichopolum is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent. Despite the fact that the drug has no effect on the causative agent of the disease, dermatologists often recommend using it simultaneously with Yam ointment.

This is due to the fact that microorganisms begin to develop rapidly in the affected sebaceous glands, which leads to the appearance of inflammation, suppuration. This becomes the cause of the occurrence of inflamed acne, which not only cause pain, but also cause serious psychological suffering to people with demodicosis.

Only a doctor can prescribe pills: self-medication can lead to rather sad results.

This is due to the fact that Trichopolum has a number of side effects:

1. Trichopolum is contraindicated in people suffering from liver and kidney disease. If the work of the excretory system is impaired, the drug will accumulate in the body. As a result, an overdose may occur, even if the patient does not exceed the dose of Trichopolum recommended by the doctor.
2. You can not drink Trichopolum for people who have a tendency to leukopenia, that is, a decrease in the level of leukocytes in the blood.
3. The remedy is contraindicated for pregnant and lactating mothers.

Trichopolum cannot be used to treat demodicosis for people who have an intolerance to some of the components of the drug.

Instructions for the use of Yam ointment

The composition of the Yam ointment:

• Turpentine (improves blood circulation and prevents the reproduction of parasites);
• Salicylic and carbolic acids (disinfect and normalize the functions of the sebaceous glands);
• Sulfur (has anti-inflammatory and drying effects);
• Lysol;
• Vaseline (the basis of the drug, promotes the penetration of Yam components into the deep layers of the skin);
• Zinc oxide (disinfects, dries and reduces irritation);
• Tar (reduces sebum production and stimulates blood circulation);
• Ichthyol;
• Lanolin (nourishes and moisturizes damaged skin)

Due to its complex composition, the cream has acaricidal (kills ticks) and fungicidal (kills fungi and dirt) effects. In addition, the drug controls the production of sebum (that is, reduces oil content), has an antiseptic and softening effect, and also promotes skin regeneration.

Even with short-term use, the ointment destroys a large number of fungi and mites, which was the reason for its use to combat demodicosis and rosacea.

Another confirmation of the safety and efficacy of the drug is that ichthyol and tar that make up it are components of Vishnevsky's ointment, carbolic and salicylic acids are used to treat acne, and petroleum jelly and lanolin are the basis of many external drugs.

Application of Yam ointment for acne

The use of this drug for human skin is justified in the treatment of rosacea and. In the presence of ordinary papules, acne, comedones and, the ointment is not used.

The main reason for the development of demodicosis is the activation and a large number of ticks, which occurs when exposed to a variety of factors: from malnutrition to hormonal disruptions. The main signs of the disease are:

• Unhealthy (grayish) complexion;
• The appearance of tuberosity on the skin;
• Periodic redness at the edges of the eyelids;
• Feeling of "sand" under the eyelids;
• Multiple acne rashes;
• Itching of the skin of the face.

This drug, as a bactericidal-fungicidal agent, is able to reduce the number of ticks to normal. Due to the fact that there are no antibiotics in the composition of the drug, there is no addiction during its use.

The reasons for the appearance of rosacea is a weakening of the immune system, due to which the activation of ticks occurs, and therefore it is much more difficult to fight acne in this case. To get rid of this ailment, you must first of all eliminate the reasons that caused a decrease in immunity:

• Frequent stress;
• Climax;
• Nervous strain;
• "Breakdown" of the endocrine system;
• Pathology of the stomach and intestines.

In the presence of rosacea, Yam ointment fights acne perfectly, but if the cause of the disease is not eliminated, the effect will last only two to three months.

Manifestations of rosacea are the appearance of a thick rash (acne) with purulent contents. Pimples may get brighter with alcohol, spicy or hot foods, or in a warm room. However, patients with rosacea, in contrast to patients with demodicosis, do not experience discomfort from the presence of acne.

And what about people?

Instructions for use exist only on the Internet. But precisely due to the acaricidal and fungicidal action, it is effective with the activity of ticks of the genus Demodex, namely with lichen, demodicosis and rosation. How to identify them?

1. With deprivation, they talk about an infection, pick it up from an animal with reduced immunity, stress, or with blood transfusion. The integuments are nodular.
2. Rosacea is defined by the redness of the facial skin and pink eruptions that turn into pustules and bumps. This usually applies to women over the age of 30.
3. With demodicosis, the skin changes to an earthy gray color and becomes bumpy. Also noticeable are acne, redness, flaking, blood-filled eyelids, scales at the roots of the eyelashes.
