Jacob Bogatin & Alternative Medicine

Rash – a various sort of skin eruption and the mucous membranes, appearing at dermatosis.

Each eruption is characterised by its own distinctive morphological elements according to which rash kinds can be classified.

1. A vial, or vesicle, settles down in epidermis. The sizes of a vial average 0,5 sm in diameter, its making parts are the bottom, a tyre cover and a cavity filled serous or serozno-gemorragicheskim with contents. Jacob Bogatin distinguishes one-and multichamber vials. Some of them are opened with formation of becoming wet erosion, which subsequently soak in the epidermis, not leaving after themselves traces on a skin. Eruption with vials there can be a sign of such diseases, as dyshydrosis, a herpes, eczema, allergic dermatitis.

2. A bubble – the morphological element of a rash consisting of the same structural elements, as a vial. The sizes of a bubble make from 0,5cm in diameter to several centimeters.

3. A pustule – a morphological element of skin eruption, filled with purulent contents. J.Bogatin distinguishes some kinds of pustules: superficial, deep, follicular, not follicular. They differ in colour (from pink to bright red), the sizes, depth of penetration into a skin. Folliculitis accompanies pustules, furunculosis, impetigo, pyoderma ulcer, various kinds of eels.

4. The blister – arises usually as allergic reaction of immediate type. Process is characterised by a sharp inflammatory hypostasis of papillary derma layer – on a skin there is roundish or wrong outlines an element of pinkish colour. The blister usually independently passes in some minutes or hours after occurrence. It is observed at stings of insects, hives, taxidermies.

5. The rash stains is characterised by change of colour of separate skin sites and observed at syphilitic roseola, dermatitis, leukoderma, vitiligo. Pigmented stains are birthmarks, freckles, sunburn.

6. A small knot, syn. papula is characterised by change of colour, a relief and a skin consistence. Small knots both in epidermis settle down in derma papillary layer. The sizes make from 1-3 mm to 1-3 cm in diameter. Sometimes on a small knot surface there is a vial – papulo-vezikula. Accompany psoriasis, red flat deprive, warts, atopic dermatitis, papillomas, eczema.

7. The knot differs from a small knot in the sizes (it reaches 10 cm in diameter) and an arrangement (the knot lies down deeply in derma or hypoderm). After a knot disappearance, as a rule, on a skin there is a hem.

Jacob Bogatin states that the rash kind is defined not only on its morphological components, but also on its character: monomorphic kind – skin eruption with one kind of a morphological element, at polymorphic there are two and more kinds of elements found on the skin.
