Erythema – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2022 To 2032
Large patches of red skin characterize Erythema without concurrent changes in the epidermis. Its causes can stem from various factors, including environmental elements, infections, or excessive sun exposure, commonly known as sunburn. The severity and duration of erythema depend on several factors, including the depth of resurfacing procedures, the extent of nonspecific thermal damage, individual variables, and potentially preoperative and postoperative treatments. The causes of erythema differ across various conditions. Common triggers include allergic reactions to medications like penicillin, antibiotics, sulfonamides, barbiturates, and phenytoin, as well as infections such as herpes simplex virus (HSV) or mycoplasma. Other factors contributing to erythema include exposure to heat, radiation, insect bites, and hormonal imbalances. Erythema manifests in various types, with erythema multiforme being the most prevalent. Each type has distinct causes and necessitates specific treatments. Some forms of erythema comprise:
·
Erythema multiforme (EM), from allergic reactions
to medications or infections.
·
Erythema nodosum (EN) is characterized by
nodular eruptions on the lower legs.
·
Erythema Ab Igne, resulting from prolonged
exposure to heat.
·
Erythema chronicum migrans, observed in the
early stages of Lyme disease.
·
Erythema induratum, associated with
tuberculosis.
·
Erythema infectiosum (Fifth disease), commonly
occurs during childhood.
·
Erythema marginatum, recognizable by pink
rings on the limbs.
·
Erythema toxicum (ET), affecting neonates.
·
Erythema gyratum repens, a component of a
paraneoplastic process.
·
Palmar erythema, characterized by reddening of
the palms of the hands.
·
Erythema annulare centrifugum, presenting as
redness in a ring-like form that spreads from the center. First described by
Darier in 1916.
Treatment for erythema depends on its
type and severity: For mild rashes, it is managed with moisturizers and topical
corticosteroid creams. Burrow's compress is an effective remedy, possessing
antibacterial and antifungal properties. Severe rashes, which can be life-threatening,
require immediate attention. Patients with severe cases may need to be
hospitalized, possibly in a burns unit. Pain management may involve medications
such as acetaminophen or hydrocodone. Blisters that become infected require
close monitoring and treatment. Intravenous immunoglobulins like immunoglobulin
G (IgG) may be necessary. Antivirals may be administered if the erythema is
suspected to be due to herpes simplex virus (HSV). Photomodulation therapy,
involving red light therapy for the skin, is another effective approach for
severe cases. Recurrent rashes caused by HSV infections may necessitate a daily
oral dose of the antiviral acyclovir to suppress the virus for several months.
