What is back carbuncle?

Back carbuncle is usually a cellulitis disease, also known as hives.

Cellulitis is a common acute diffuse purulent infection disease in daily life. This disease is not easy to be confined and spreads very rapidly. There is no obvious boundary with normal tissue. It usually occurs in middle-aged and elderly people. Most of them are caused by skin inflammation or eczema. It may also be induced by skin infection or chickenpox in the patient's body. Therefore, when the disease breaks out, the clinical symptoms will show redness, swelling and pain, and may even spread around, causing local skin elevation and making the central color of the lesion area darker. Severe cases will cause a series of complications such as general weakness and high fever. In this case, you need to go to the dermatology department of the hospital for a routine blood test to understand the severity of the disease, or do an ultrasound examination to check the local tissue structure disorder of the lesion and the obvious edema of the surrounding tissue, and the unclear boundaries. Under the guidance of a doctor, take abscess incision and drainage treatment to prevent digit necrosis and make the local area heal quickly.

During the recovery period, you should do more physical exercise outdoors, which can enhance your immunity and reduce the risk of infection. However, you must take personal protection measures outdoors, reduce friction and cuts, and pay attention to personal hygiene to reduce the retention of bacteria on the skin.
