TRATAMENTO<br />
TREATMENT<br />
O tratamento varia com a forma de<br />
agressão.<br />
As dermatites irritativas por esponjas<br />
devem ser inicialmente tratadas com<br />
aplicação de fitas adesivas para tentativa<br />
de retirada das espículas corporais. A<br />
inflamação resultante pode ser<br />
medicada com cremes e pomadas de<br />
corticóides por cerca de uma semana.<br />
Treatment is obviously to differ<br />
according to different forms of injury.<br />
Irritative dermatitis caused by sponges<br />
should be initially treated with<br />
adhesive bands that help remove the<br />
very thin spiculae. The resulting<br />
inflammation may be medicated with<br />
topic application of creams and<br />
corticoid gels for as long as a week.<br />
