What's the matter with thick bumps on my body

Sometimes thick blisters appear on the body because people do not pay attention to hygiene, which leads to inflammation of the hair follicles. This is a clinical phenomenon. Generally speaking, the treatment of folliculitis is also very simple. Generally, we can take the medicine orally and pay attention to personal hygiene. Of course, you can also use some Chinese medicine prescriptions for treatment. Next, we will introduce the traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods for folliculitis.

What are the traditional Chinese medicine formulas for folliculitis?

Chinese medicine prescription for folliculitis

Traditional Chinese medicine prescription for folliculitis: 20 grams of honeysuckle, 15 grams each of wild chrysanthemum, dandelion, Viola yedoensis, and Glechoma longituba seeds, decocted in water, added with a little wine and taken twice a day, 30 to 60 minutes after meals. Honeysuckle clears away heat, detoxifies, and dissipates carbuncle, and is the main medicine. Viola yedoensis, dandelion, wild chrysanthemum, and purple-backed angelica are all important medicines for clearing heat and detoxifying, and are auxiliary medicines.

What is the difference between folliculitis and furuncle?

Folliculitis and furuncle are both common suppurative skin diseases that occur in hair follicles, but each has its own characteristics.

Folliculitis refers to inflammation of the hair follicles, which may be papules, pustules, or papules first and then pustules. There are many causes of disease, bacterial infection is only one of them. And the pathogens are not limited to Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. The papules or pustules of folliculitis can be more or less, large or small, deep or shallow, but they must grow in the hair follicles. The folliculitis rash is generally small, often ranging in size from a mung bean to a match head. The pustules are also relatively shallow, so they are not painful or only slightly painful. It is more common on the hairy areas of the scalp and face, the front chest, upper back, and the extensor sides of the limbs. A typical lesion has 1 hair in the center.

Folliculitis can be primary, which means that there is only folliculitis from beginning to end, without any other diseases; it can also be secondary to other skin diseases, such as acne, rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, etc. At this point, folliculitis is already a component of the skin diseases listed above and should no longer be diagnosed as folliculitis alone. Non-purulent folliculitis, i.e. papular folliculitis, should be carefully differentiated from other papular skin diseases.

Furuncle, also known as furuncle or furuncle, is an acute suppurative deep folliculitis and perifolliculitis caused by Staphylococcus invading hair follicles. It initially appears as a red nodule and quickly becomes purulent nodules or pustules. It is located deeper, so the pain and tenderness are more intense. The predilection sites are the same as folliculitis, but the distribution can be very widespread. A typical boil has a pus head in the center, which can discharge yellow-green pus plugs (this is not the case with folliculitis) and pus and blood, and leaves scars after healing. Large, deep mats can cause redness and swelling of the surrounding skin, and may eventually form an abscess (pus). This requires surgical incision and drainage. Several adjacent boils, together with the red and swollen skin in the middle, can merge into a large mass with pus oozing from multiple locations. This is a carbuncle. Carbuncle is a serious pyoderma, which is often accompanied by severe pain and systemic symptoms such as fever and chills. If not treated promptly, there is a risk of sepsis. There are two specific types of furuncle:

(1) Multiple boils: There are usually not many boils, i.e. 1-2 or 3-4. If there are many boils and they are widely distributed, they are called multiple boils. The course of multiple furunculosis may be longer than that of general furunculosis, and it often has systemic symptoms such as fever, malaise and leukocytosis.

(2) Furuncle: The number of mats may not be large, but the furuncle is very stubborn and will not heal for a long time. Many patients have low fever, fatigue, weakness, and even weight loss. My life, work and study are all affected, which is very painful.

Like impetigo, boils can also be secondary to skin diseases such as scabies, prurigo, eczema, insect bite dermatitis, pruritus, etc. Some of them even mask the true nature of the primary disease and cause misdiagnosis. The boil itself needs to be differentiated from many nodular skin diseases, such as insect bite dermatitis, papular urticaria and certain benign tumors. The main difference is that furuncle has obvious inflammation (redness and swelling) and severe pain, while other nodular skin diseases are mostly non-inflammatory and painless.
