Ringworm is an infection caused by a fungus called dermatophyte. Ringworm is a fungal infection that affects the skin. It usually occurs on the scalp, face, trunk, arms, legs, feet, hands, buttocks, groin, and other areas where hair grows.
Causes of Ringworm?
Ringworm is caused by a type of fungus known as dermatophytes. These fungi thrive in warm, moist environments, such as those found inside homes and under clothing. They also thrive in places with high humidity, such as bathrooms and basements.
How Do You Know If You Have Ringworm?
Ringworm is characterized by small, scaly patches of skin that appear on the scalp, face, arms, legs, feet, and groin area. In some cases, ringworm can spread to other parts of the body. This condition usually occurs when people come into contact with infected animals or soil contaminated with the fungus.
How Can Ringworm Be Prevented?
If you notice any symptoms of ringworm, such as redness, scaling, itching, or pain, see your doctor right away. You should also avoid scratching the affected areas as this can make them worse.
How to Treat Ringworm?
Ringworm is usually treated with medications such as creams or ointments. These treatments will help reduce the symptoms of the infection and prevent further spread. However, these treatments do not cure the infection.
How Long Does Ringworm Last?
Ringworm is contagious and can last from 2 weeks to several months. If left untreated, ringworm can cause permanent scarring.
Botolinum toxin is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum and related species. It causes soft paralysis by preventing the release of the acetylcholine neurotransmitter from axon endings. Infection with this bacterium causes botulism disease.
Mesotherapy is the technique of applying vitamins, minerals, amino acids or enzymes alone or usually as a mixture to the middle layer of the skin by microinjection. The substances to be injected are selected according to the person and the person’s wishes. Mesotherapy can be used for skin tightening, lifting, anti-aging, blemish treatment and scar treatment in the facial area.
Bichectomy, one of the aesthetic operations frequently used by those who want to achieve an ideal facial appearance, is performed to make facial lines proportionate. In some cases, even if the person is at the ideal weight, he or she may appear overweight due to the amount of fat in the existing facial structure. The fat tissue located in the middle area of the cheeks is called buccal fat tissue. This fatty tissue, located between the facial muscles, is anatomically located in the lower region of the cheekbones and is thought to contribute to sucking functions in babies. The size of this fatty tissue is one of the main factors affecting the size of the face. With aging, buccal fat tissue generally tends to decrease.
We often use fillers called hyaluronic acid in the face area, especially on the lips. Hyaluronic acid is actually a building block found in our body that has water retention properties. When this substance is depleted in the skin and subcutaneous tissue under the influence of age and environmental factors, it causes some changes that manifest themselves as volume loss. To put it simply, with filler injections, we aim to increase the amount of this water-retaining molecule in our body.
