Blue lamp is an old way to fight new infections

Infections of the skin and soft tissues occupy the second most frequent place among all bacterial infections found in clinical practice, and are the most frequent infectious manifestation among patients entering the intensive care unit. Treatment of infectious diseases of the skin and soft tissues has become significantly complicated due to the increasing frequency of cases of resistance of pathogens to antibacterial drugs, while, according to scientists involved in the field of medicine, resistance can cause the end of the era of antibiotic therapy. Antibacterial resistance is a form of drug resistance, a phenomenon as a result of which some subpopulations of microorganisms, usually species of bacteria, are able to survive exposure to one or more antibiotics.
According to the results of an experimental study by American scientists, blue light selectively destroys bacteria that cause infections of the skin and soft tissues, and does not adversely affect the surface layer of the skin. The use of blue light is a potential non-toxic treatment for skin and soft tissue infections, it is not associated with the use of antibacterial drugs and is especially effective against pathogens resistant to antibacterial drugs. So if you still have blue reflector lamps, so popular at the end of the last century, do not rush to throw them away! It may be useful if you accidentally hurt yourself at home. LED blue bulbs have emerged these days, which have become less massive and more comfortable, but are still efficient.
