You must have heard of “tuberculosis”, but did you know that you can also get “tuberculosis” on your skin? “Tuberculosis of the skin is a type of tuberculosis, which is a skin lesion caused by direct invasion of the skin by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. At first glance, this disease looks similar to “eczema” and “ringworm”, so it is easy to be misdiagnosed and delayed. This is not the case, 38-year-old Gan because the inner thigh a small piece of “red spot” was misdiagnosed for 10 years, the larger the plaque treatment, the more serious the condition. Before finding me, Lao Gan from Zhongshan City had been fighting with this “red spot” for 10 years! “The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. The old Gan came to the provincial skin hospital in Guangzhou, the provincial capital, after skin pathology examination, was diagnosed as “warty skin tuberculosis”. Since my hospital, Guangzhou Chest Hospital, is a specialized hospital for tuberculosis, patients with tuberculosis from other hospitals are usually referred to our hospital for treatment. Because the cause of the disease was clearly identified, I administered anti-tuberculosis treatment to this erythema of Lao Gan. Soon, after about 100 days of treatment for a ten-year old problem, the erythema faded significantly, no more redness, swelling, crusting and other phenomena, and the skin became smooth, so that it could be said to be basically cured. The antifungal treatment was ineffective for two weeks, and the patient was considered to have “skin tuberculosis”. To be honest, every doctor does not want the patient to take such a detour. If you know you can solve the problem in two or three months, why bother for ten years? If you are a dermatologist and you have not seen any improvement after two weeks of antifungal treatment for tinea corporis or ringworm, we should think of “skin tuberculosis” as soon as possible. “We should not delay the patient’s condition. 2.If you are a patient and you think it is ringworm or eczema when some red spots appear on your skin, and you do not get better after two weeks of topical treatment, stop the medication immediately and go to the hospital for a thorough examination to make a clear diagnosis so as not to delay your condition. If the diagnosis is not clear, be sure to use hormonal ointments carefully. If the treatment is according to “neurodermatitis”, “eczema”, it is definitely necessary to use hormonal ointment, once the use of hormonal ointment, the rash will get a rapid development, the so-called treatment of the more “big hair “The more you use hormonal ointment, the faster the rash will develop, and the more you treat it, the bigger it becomes. We should be cautious about the red spots, red patches and lumps that appear on the body, don’t neglect them, and seek medical examination as soon as possible if there is a problem!
