How to deal with boils on the body

Skin diseases are very common diseases. This type of disease is very harmful to human health. When treating this type of disease, you must choose the correct treatment method, which will be of great help in stabilizing the patient's disease. So what is the cause of boils on the body? Many people don't understand this issue very well. When this happens, you need to go to the hospital for examination.

When boils appear on your body, you need to pay attention to whether there are any abnormal symptoms in your body. If there are any abnormal symptoms, you need to seek timely treatment, otherwise it will induce other diseases, which will not help treat the boils.

Boils on the body:

1. Don’t squeeze randomly

Since some boils grow on the face, they are not only unsightly, but also easily fester and are very painful over time. Some parents think that when their children's boils mature, they can just squeeze out the pus with their hands. Experts remind us that squeezing out pus from boils, especially those on the head and face, is a very dangerous action and should never be done. Because the blood vessels in the head and face are directly connected to the brain, and the blood vessels themselves have no venous valves. When external force is applied, blood can flow back into the brain. When the boil is squeezed, bacteria can enter the skull with the blood, causing life-threatening intracranial infection and cavernous sinus thrombosis. Especially for boils in the "dangerous triangle area" from the root of the nose to the corners of the mouth, squeezing is strictly prohibited. The correct approach is to ask a doctor to drain the pus in time, and then after several drainage and dressing changes, the condition will improve and heal.

2. Do not apply medicine on your own

If redness, swelling, heat or pain occurs on any part of the skin, you should go to the hospital for formal treatment in time. Do not apply medication on your own, especially mercurochrome and gentian violet, which are toxic to the wound and can easily cause pus under the scab. Some were treated with Chinese herbal medicine for more than a month, but as a result, one boil turned into multiple infections of hair follicles and sebaceous glands, which was extremely difficult to treat. In addition, if boils occur repeatedly, you should check your fasting blood sugar and your blood sugar 2 hours after a meal. If you find any abnormalities, you should go to the endocrinology department for diagnosis and treatment in time to see if it is related to diabetes.

3. Early-stage boils cannot be incised and drained.

Mature boils that have become purulent and soft can be incised and drained. But boils on the face and upper lip should never be squeezed or cut open casually. For those who have not formed pus, you can apply pure ichthyol or ichthyol sulfur paste externally every day to promote the disappearance of inflammation.

4. Heatstroke prevention and cooling are the key points

Pay attention to keeping the room ventilated to prevent heatstroke and cool down. Change the patient's clothes regularly to keep the skin clean and hygienic.

5. Daily care

The first thing is to keep your skin clean and hygienic, take a bath and change clothes every day. The home should be kept cool and prevent heatstroke, and attention should be paid to indoor ventilation to prevent children from getting prickly heat due to excessive sweating. Children with furunculosis must be isolated and treated, and the used items must be washed, dried and disinfected.

Through the above introduction, you should pay attention to the above when you have boils on your body, otherwise it will not help in treating this kind of disease. However, it should be noted that after boils appear on the body, you also need to arrange your diet reasonably. You should reduce the choices of some foods that you cannot eat, otherwise it will cause great harm to human health.
