A dermatologist almost daily encounters fungal skin lesions. In this regard, each specialist knows in detail how to conduct local and systemic antimycotic therapy.
But, unfortunately, it is not always effective. And in these cases, complications such as mikids – secondary allergic rashes in fungal infections. They are characterized by clinical polymorphism, and therefore the differential diagnosis of these skin lesions is quite difficult.
On estet-portal.com, read about how to recognize mycids and how the doctor should act if they appear.
Diagnostic program for allergic complications of fungal diseases
To confirm a secondary allergic skin lesion in a fungal infection, you must:
• proving that the patient has a primary focus of mycosis;
• confirm the absence of elements of the fungus in the elements of the rash of mycids using cultural and microscopic examination methods;
• confirm sensitization to a specific type of fungus by conducting allergy tests.
For the diagnosis of mycogenic allergy, skin-allergic tests, serological and immunological reactions are used, which help not only to determine the presence of the fungus, but also to select the optimal antimycotic therapy.

Main features of the differential diagnosis of mycids
The mycids themselves are harmless and easily treatable. However, some diseases with a similar clinical picture can threaten the health and even life of the patient.
Differential diagnosis of mycids is carried out with T-cell lymphoma of the skin and generalized fungal infection.
When making a diagnosis, it is also necessary to exclude the presence of folliculitis, atopic dermatitis, viral skin lesions and even scabies in the patient.
Because mycids can occur with fungal infections of the internal organs, it is very important to find the primary source of infection in order to prevent its further spread.

Treatment of mycids: main approaches to the treatment of the disease
For effective treatment of mycids, first of all, it is necessary to act on the main lesion, since when the inflammatory process subsides in it, spontaneous resolution of the allergic rash occurs. To do this, various fungistatic and fungicidal agents are used to influence the causative agent of mycosis.
An important component of the treatment of mycids is the use of desensitizing agents.
Thus, the combination of desensitizing and antifungal therapy allows you to quickly and effectively eliminate the manifestations of allergic complications of fungal infections.
