Can the hard lumps of carbuncle be eliminated

The occurrence of boils is mostly related to poor skin detoxification. People who drink and smoke for a long time should pay special attention to this aspect. Some people are prone to boils deep in the hair follicles and surrounding tissues, which is related to the body's decreased immunity. Moreover, when a boil occurs, there is often a feeling of a lump. So can the lump of a boil be eliminated? It is understood that if it is just a simple boil, it can be eliminated through medication.

Furuncles are purulent inflammations deep in the hair follicles and surrounding tissues, and are more common on the head, face, neck and buttocks. Patients often have low immunity, long-term drinking, neutrophil dysfunction, etc. Attention should be paid to skin hygiene, prevention of trauma and enhancement of body immunity. For external medication, ichthyol ointment can be applied externally for early furuncles that have not become purulent. If infected, Bactroban can be applied externally for treatment.

Methods/Steps

After the boil becomes purulent, a hard lump is left behind. If it is dark red in color, it means that the inflammation has not been completely cured and anti-inflammatory treatment is needed. It can be treated with oral anti-inflammatory drugs or external anti-inflammatory ointments.

If the color of the lump is the same as normal skin, it means that a cyst has left in that area, but there is no inflammation. You need to use a hot towel for hot compress to promote the absorption of the cyst.

For external use, you can apply vitamin E ointment or use aloe vera ointment to treat the lumps.

The best way to deal with lumps is to go to the hospital to consult a doctor and have the lump removed entirely by surgery. After the operation, a drainage strip will be left in the wound to prevent suppuration.

While the drainage strip is in place, you should continue to go to the hospital for follow-up visits every day, and have the doctor disinfect and reduce inflammation of the wound to avoid lesions remaining after the external skin has healed.

The later treatment of boils requires abstention from certain foods, eating light food, and combining multiple treatment methods such as hot compress and aloe vera ointment. Generally, the boils will recover slowly.
