What does heat furuncle and carbuncle mean?

Heat carbuncle and furuncle is a disease that exists in the human body. However, this disease is generally rare and is a type of folliculitis. This disease should be treated in time. If the best treatment time is delayed, its condition will only become more and more serious, and its scope of occurrence will become more and more extensive. There may still be many people who don’t know what heat carbuncle and furuncle is. So what does heat carbuncle and furuncle mean?

Heat furuncle and carbuncle refers to acute folliculitis, which can be treated with hot compress and taking antibiotics such as amoxicillin and cephalosporin.

If there is pus, you can go to the hospital for incision and drainage! Acute folliculitis will not heal on its own, but will only become more and more serious. If not treated for a long time, it will cause the following hazards: 1. Acute folliculitis can recur repeatedly. 2. Acute folliculitis occurs on the neck and may cause papillary hyperplasia or scar nodules, which are difficult to cure over time. 3. Acute folliculitis occurs on the scalp and can cause permanent hair loss, which is the most headache for patients. Experts point out that it is relatively easy to treat acute folliculitis, so patients must seek timely treatment after discovering the disease to avoid the above hazards.

It is acute folliculitis, which can be treated with external applications of Fuping Kangle and Bactroban. During the treatment, pay attention to your diet and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods. Folliculitis is mainly a purulent inflammation caused by bacterial infection of hair follicles. The symptoms of folliculitis are stubborn and there will be pustules. The treatment mainly relies on topical anti-inflammatory drugs.

It means folliculitis, inflammation of the sebaceous glands or furunculosis. It is recommended to go to the pharmacy to buy sterile cotton swabs and iodine tincture, and wipe with iodine tincture. Be careful not to squeeze, otherwise it will easily cause the infection to spread. Take a bath frequently to prevent recurrence.

The initial onset of furuncle is a red, swollen, painful small nodule on the skin, which is a cone-shaped protrusion and tender to touch; then a yellow-white pus head appears on the top of the nodule, surrounded by a red hard disk, and the patient feels local itching, burning and throbbing pain; later the pus head ruptures, and the pain is relieved after a small amount of pus is discharged, or a pus plug forms on the top of the nodule and separates from the surrounding tissue and falls off, the inflammation gradually subsides, and the wound heals on its own. During the course of the disease, there are generally no obvious systemic symptoms except that the lymph nodes in the drainage area may be accompanied by swelling. Improper treatment of boils, such as random scratching or squeezing of pus, hot compresses, drug burning and corrosion, and inappropriate incision, can cause the inflammation to spread. Furuncles located on the upper and lower lips and nose are located in the "dangerous triangle" of the face. Infection can suddenly worsen, and the local redness, swelling, and pain can increase in size, accompanied by cellulitis or develop into carbuncle; it may even be complicated by cavernous sinus thrombosis, sepsis, or septicemia.

Carbuncle often occurs on the lips (lip carbuncle), more often on the upper lip than on the lower lip, and more often in men than in women. The range of infection and the depth of tissue necrosis are more serious than those of furuncle and are accompanied by severe pain. When most hair follicles, sebaceous glands and their surrounding tissues undergo acute inflammation and necrosis, rapidly expanding purple-red inflammatory infiltrates may form. The infection may spread to the subcutaneous fascia layer and muscle tissue. In the early stage, the surrounding tissues also undergo necrosis, and after the necrotic tissues are dissolved and discharged, numerous honeycomb-like cavities can be formed. Subsequently, necrosis may also occur in the skin, mucous membranes or subcutaneous tissues between the cavities, causing the upper tissues of the entire carbuncle lesion area to appear purple-red; the tissues around and deep inside the carbuncle become infiltrative edema.

Patients with lip carbuncle experience extreme swelling and pain in the lips, limited mouth opening, difficulty eating and speaking, and swollen and tender lymph nodes in the local area. Symptoms of systemic poisoning are obvious, such as chills, high fever, headache, loss of appetite, and increased white blood cell count and neutrophil ratio. Compared with furuncle, lip carbuncle is more likely to be accompanied by intracranial cavernous sinus phlebitis, sepsis, toxic shock and water and electrolyte imbalance, leading to a higher mortality rate.
