Choa ni maambukizi ya kawaida ya kuvu kwenye ngozi au kucha. Choa haina uhusiano wowote na minyoo. Lakini upele unaweza kuwa na umbo la pete. Kwa hiyo, maambukizi kwa sasa yanajulikana kama choa. Madaktari huita maambukizi haya "tinea."
Choa wa mwili ni nini?
Choa wa mwili ni maambukizi ya kuvu ambao huunda upele wenye umbo la pete kwenye uso, mikono, miguu, kifua au tumbo lako.
Choa wa mwili wanaweza kusambaa kwenye maeneo mengine ya mwili wako au kwa watu wengine ikiwa ngozi yako itagusana na ngozi zao
Madaktari huitibu kwa kutumia malai ya dawa ya kuvu au mara chache kwa kutumia vidonge
Zipi ni dalili za choa wa mwili?
Dalili zinajumuisha:
Madoa ya mviringo yenye rangi ya waridi au nyekundu kwenye ngozi yako yenye kingo za magamba, zilizoinuliwa
Mara nyingine, mwasho

Madoa yote mawili yanayoonekana kwenye picha hii yamesababishwa na tinea corporis. Ukingo wa magamba unaweza kuonekana kwenye doa upande wa kulia.

This photo shows a scaly, red patch characteristic of tinea corporis. The center appears less clear than on light skin because the infection has caused inflammation.

The center of this patch is dark (called central hyperpigmentation) because the infection has caused inflammation in it.

Madaktari wanawezaje kujua ikiwa nina choa wa mwili?
Mara nyingi madaktari wanaweza kufahamu kuwa ni choa wa mwili kwa kuitazama tu. Ili kufahamu kwa hakika, madaktari wanaweza kukwangua kipande kidogo cha ngozi yako ili kukichunguza kwenye hadubini.
Je, madaktari wanatibu vipi choa wa mwili?
Madaktari hutibu choa wa mwili kwa kutumia:
Malai ya dawa ya kuvu au losheni
Wakati mwingine, dawa za kumeza
Ikiwa utasitisha matumiza ya dawa mapema sana, maambukizi yanaweza kurejea.
