What to do if a swelling appears on the body

Swollen bumps on the body can be disinfected with iodine, then treated with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ointment, or surgical treatment can be performed.

If swelling appears on your body, it may be caused by allergic urticaria, or it may be a sign of a disease related to the surface of the body. Therefore, you need to go to the dermatology department of the hospital for relevant examinations, and then treat the symptoms after determining the cause.

1. Allergic urticaria: Sensitive skin will become allergic after coming into contact with allergens, resulting in symptoms of local skin itching. In severe cases, swelling may form. It needs to be washed with calamine lotion and then treated with antihistamine ointments, such as Baifuning ointment, paeonol ointment and Pibao cream. It can also be combined with oral antihistamine ointments for auxiliary treatment, such as cetirizine hydrochloride, loratadine and dantrosine. If inflammatory lesions occur, it can usually achieve a more obvious therapeutic effect.

2. Diseases related to body surface masses: When there are lipomas, fibromas or atheromas on the local skin, it may also cause swelling to appear on the skin of the affected area. This is mostly a benign lesion and generally does not affect health. No special treatment is required. However, if the swelling grows quickly, it needs to be surgically removed in time, and a pathological examination should be performed if necessary. For malignant lesions, radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be combined with auxiliary treatment after surgery.
