Dermal Necrosis – Treatment

In cases in which the patient is suffering from this medical condition called Dermal Necrosis or he has other trauma, the first thing to be done is to immediately try to close the present wounds, covering the burns, reducing the fractures, performing a surgical stabilization, and applying definitive treatment within the first two days after the injury. Any surgical procedures must be delayed at least a couple of days until the patient has a hematopoietic recovery. Due to the fact that cutaneous injury is cyclic, sites of early erythema should be noted and recorded. In performing these procedures, doctors should consider certain steps such as supportive care in clean environment, prevention and treatment of infections, medications to reduce the present inflammation, inhibit proteolysis, relieve pain, stimulate regeneration, and improve circulation using anticoagulant agents for widespread and deed injury, pain management and psychological support.

In most cases, doctors can apply certain treatments depending on the stage of the Dermal Necrosis disease, including prodermal stage, latent stage, and manifestation stage. For the prodermal stage, doctors commonly use antihistamines and topical antipruriginous compounds that can act against itching and can also prevent and attenuate initiation of the cycle that leads to the manifestation stage of Dermal Necrosis. There are cases in which doctors can also use anti inflammatory drugs such as corticosteroids, topical creams and slight sedative medicines. For the latent stage, doctors use anti inflammatory drugs and sedative agents. There are some cases in which, at midst age, doctors apply proteolysis inhibitors such as Gordox. For the manifestation stage, doctors use repeated swabs, antibiotic treatment, and anti inflammatory drugs, such as Lioxasol, used to reduce bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. In treating this disorder that affects the skin (Dermal Necrosis), doctors should follow certain steps in order to assure improvement; such steps include applying topical ointments containing corticosteroids in addition with local antibiotics and vitamins; stimulating regeneration of DNA by using Lioxasol, and after the regeneration has begun, using biogenic medicines such as Actovegin and Solcoseril; stimulating blood supply after three to four weeks using Pentoxifylline - this is not indicated for individuals who suffer from atherosclerotic heart disease; puncturing the blisters if they are sterile, but not removing them as long as they are intact; staying alert for wound infection using antibiotic treatment according to the patient’s condition; treating the pain, because pain relief is very difficult and is the most demanding step of the treatment; debriding areas of necrosis thoroughly but cautiously.

There is a second major step in treating Dermal Necrosis, and that is treatment of later effects. After an immediate treatment of the patient’s injury, doctors must apply a long and painful process of healing. The most important facts in treating the disease are: pain management, fibrosis and late ulcers; it is very important to use medication to stimulate vascularization, inhibit the present infection, and reduce fibrosis, such as Pentoxifylline, vitamin E and interferon gamma; necrosis, plastic and reconstructive surgery are usually the most common procedures required and are more efficient in early stages of the treatment, post traumatic stress disorder.
