Molluscum Contagiosum by LP-CLINIC
Tinea versicolor is a common viral skin disease. It affects people of all ages, but it mainly affects children between the ages of one and 10, sexually active adults, and those with weakened immune systems.
Symptoms
Tinea versicolor appears as small pimples, 1-10 millimeters in size, that look like lumps, olives, or pearls. Many parents confuse tinea versicolor with ringworm or staph. Tinea versicolor lesions in adults appear as pimples:
- around the genitals
- inner thighs
- in the anal area
- the belly
The virus is transmitted not only through sexual contact but also via commonly used objects such as clothing, towels, bed sheets, etc. It can also be spread through dirty water and sand where we lie down during the summer. It appears more frequently in children who participate in swimming pools and gyms, as well as in children with dry skin.
Therapy
In many cases, treatment is not necessary, as the disease resolves on its own and does not leave scars (the body develops antibodies to the virus).
If the spots start to become irritated or sore, the doctor may recommend mild cortisone creams. However, sometimes the disease can last for years, especially in children with a tendency to eczema or those who are immunocompromised.
Surgical treatment consists of removing and crushing the lesions with surgical forceps (cure) and then applying tincture of iodine, but this is a painful procedure and in children is usually done under local or general anesthesia.
Liquid nitrogen cryotherapy is effective but causes pain when applied and its excessive use can cause complications.

«The review is being written 8.5 months after the procedure and 10 days before the appointment for the final evaluation by the doctor.
We are talking about an excellent doctor who will guide and reassure you at every step of the hair transplant. He will answer every question you may have, no matter how “silly” it might seem. He will tell you exactly how you will feel each day after the procedure and how to deal with any itching or discomfort you may experience.
Apart from being an excellent doctor, he is also an amazing person. He even offered me a piece of minced-meat pie that his daughter had made on the morning of the procedure! When I went to get the first medication for the procedure, he asked me if I had eaten breakfast. I told him no because I was nervous.
If you are looking for somewhere to go to fix the hair-loss problem you are dealing with, without any worries and, most importantly, painlessly, I highly recommend him without hesitation. »
