The most characteristic symptom of impingem is the appearance of a red spot on the skin, rounded and with well-defined edges that can peel and itch. This spot appears more easily in damp places on the body, especially in the folds, such as the neck, armpits and groin due to the humidity and the higher temperature in the region.
Impingem is an infection caused by fungi that can be found on the skin but that due to some factor can proliferate excessively and lead to the appearance of the signs and symptoms of the infection. It is important that the impingem stain is evaluated by the dermatologist, as it can be confused with other changes involving the skin, such as pityriasis rosea, reactions to the use of medications, nummular dermatitis, or psoriasis, for example.
Main symptoms
The symptoms of urge arise due to the excessive proliferation of fungi that can be found naturally on the skin, and can be noticed:
- Reddish, round stain with rough edges on the skin with a light colored interior;
- Itching in the region, which can spread the fungus to other regions of the body, leading to the appearance of other spots;
- Slight swelling on the spot;
- Skin peeling;
- Scaling of the scalp and loss of hair on the spot, in the case of the fungus responsible for impinging on the head.
The symptoms can persist for several days and the spots can easily spread to nearby areas when they are not immediately treated with the use of antifungal medications prescribed by the doctor.
Therefore, it is important to consult a dermatologist as soon as the first spots appear, because although it is not serious, it is uncomfortable and contagious and can easily be transmitted to other people. See how to identify the impingem.
How the diagnosis is made
The diagnosis of impingem is made by the dermatologist through the dermatological examination, in which the characteristics of the lesions presented by the person are observed.
In addition, other tests such as scraping of the lesion, microbiological analysis and examination of the Wood lamp can be performed, in which the doctor assesses the fluorescence of the stain when exposed to the UV light of the equipment, being useful for the identification of some fungi and for carrying out differential diagnosis. Understand what it is and how it examines Wood's lamp.
