The appearance of spots on the skin with diseases of the pancreas

The appearance of spots on the skin with diseases of the pancreas is a frequent phenomenon.

However, experts believe this manifestation of the disease is not specific.

At the same time, the number of spots, their location and color indicate the severity of any pancreatic disease and help the doctor both in the diagnosis and in further treatment.

Skin spots on the skin

The pancreas is the most important organ in the whole digestive system, a lot depends on its normal functioning.

First of all because it produces all the necessary enzymes for proper digestion and assimilation of food, as well as hormones for the normal functioning of the secretory system.

Experts believe that the appearance of the skin and the state of the body are related. The occurrence of any pancreatic disease often manifests itself on the patient's skin. Of course, rashes on the skin may appear for a variety of reasons, for example, with an allergy or a disease of the vascular system, but if they occur, you should consult your doctor.

Any abnormalities in the pancreas cause changes in the secretory system, which is manifested by rashes on the skin.

The most common diseases of this body are pancreatitis, necrosis, cancer.

One of the characteristic signs of exacerbation of pancreatitis is the so-called Tuzhilin syndrome.

It consists in the appearance on the skin of red dots, outwardly resembling moles or vials with blood.

You can distinguish them from normal allergic spots by one characteristic feature - when pressed they do not turn pale.

This means that the patient began to exacerbate the inflammatory processes. The heavier the stage of the disease, the more such points will be on the body.

Usually, spots appear on the back, chest and stomach of the patient, sometimes you can observe them on the limbs or neck.

In the case of a reduction in their number, one can judge the decrease in the painful process.

Usually, such rashes do not give the patient any discomfort, but they are very irritating psychologically, which is extremely undesirable in diseases of the pancreas.

Often, spots appear at a late stage of the disease, but cases of their appearance occurred at the very onset of pancreatitis.

Therefore, in case of appearance on the body of such rashes, it is necessary to consult a doctor for diagnosis and timely treatment.

Very often during an exacerbation of the disease, bruises near the navel occur( on the skin this corresponds to the area of ​​the lower part of the pancreas inside the person), sometimes they occur in the groin area on the upper part of the thighs.

Outwardly they look like normal bruises, but after passing through all the stages of blooming, the skin gets a marble color on the abdomen and blue-green in the groin.

They arise because of a violation of blood circulation in the abdominal cavity, squeezing the enlarged pancreas of the bile ducts.

Sometimes, in pancreatitis, there are spots of blue in the area of ​​the nasolabial triangle, on the fingers.

The causes of their appearance are an intoxication of the body and an airway disorder( also called Lagerloeff's symptom).

Rashes and treatment

Another characteristic sign of pancreatic disease is urticaria. Such rashes are a frequent symptom of acute pancreatitis, and sometimes occur in cancer.

Often spots appear on the legs and chest, sometimes they appear on the buttocks or back.

Urticaria looks like a nodule of blue with a pink tint, after two or three weeks they dissolve, leaving small pits on the skin.

Hives accompanied by severe itching, which gives the patient a palpable discomfort.

In cases of pancreatic diseases, cases of thrombophlebitis have been diagnosed, especially in cancer.

This symptom is manifested in the form of elongated spots along the surface of the veins, they become inflamed and cause the patient a palpable pain. Often they are located on the neck, chest, abdomen and buttocks.

In those places that often come into contact with clothing, wounds appear, they are crusted. Over time, they disappear, but in their place puffiness is formed in the form of rings of red color.

These rashes itch and hurt, sometimes there is a burning sensation. Often with pancreatic cancer, the patient's skin acquires a yellowish color, that is, jaundice appears.

This is associated with the development of the tumor in the bile duct and the ingestion of the enzyme trypsin, which immediately affects the skin.

Since the treatment of pancreatic diseases is accompanied by the taking of certain medications, you should be sure that the patient does not have allergies on them.

An allergic reaction to medications can also occur as a rash on the skin.

In this case, the treatment should be changed: the doctor should prescribe or other drugs that do not cause allergy, or prescribe medications that block allergic receptors responsible for allergic reactions.

If the appearance of spots on the skin is caused by squeezing the bile ducts with an enlarged pancreas and ingestion of bile acids into the circulatory system, the doctor is required to prescribe medications that neutralize the effect of these acids on the body and remove the total intoxication of the blood.

If skin spots appear, consult a specialist for complete diagnosis and proper treatment.

After the tests and examinations the doctor will know what caused the rashes, and advise medicines to reduce itching and burning, and to improve the work of this important body.

This is especially true when there are spots on the face and abdomen of the patient, which indicates a severe stage of the pancreas disease or a sharp aggravation of it.

Nutrition plays an important role in the treatment of spots on the skin in diseases of the pancreas.

The doctor will prescribe a special diet that will reduce the burden on this organ and help restore its normal functioning.

It is forbidden to eat fatty, salty, spicy, smoked, the food should be light and not load the organs of the digestive system( porridges, dietary meat, tea, kissel).

It is also recommended to get rid of bad habits - smoking, drinking alcohol.

In case of spots on the skin, you should always contact the doctor, as this may be an indication of an exacerbation of any pancreatic disease.

The doctor will perform the diagnostics, find out the causes of the rash and prescribe certain medications to reduce the discomfort and normalization of the pancreas.
