There is a boil next to the asshole

A boil looks like an inconspicuous pustule and can grow in many parts of our body. When a boil appears, it will feel extremely painful. Many people do not care about boils, and often squeeze them with their hands when they get a boil. This is wrong. For smaller boils, you can wait for the boils to heal on their own. For larger boils, you can apply hot compresses and then disinfect them with alcohol. At the same time, pay attention to dietary conditioning.

Early relief of inflammation

During the redness and swelling stage, you can choose physical therapy measures such as hot compress, ultrashort wave or infrared, or apply Chinese medicine Jinhuangsan, Yulusan or ichthyol ointment mixed with oil into a paste.

Impatient drainage of pus in the case of local suppuration

When pus spots are seen on the top of the furuncle or there is a sense of fluctuation, apply carbolic acid to the pus spots or use a needle to remove the pus plug, or make an incision and drainage. Do not squeeze it. After the pus comes out, use furacilin, wet gauze or Chinese herbal ointment to dissolve dead tissue and regenerate new tissue until the lesion subsides.

Antimicrobial therapy

If there are systemic symptoms such as fever, headache, general discomfort, facial furuncle or concurrent acute lymphadenitis or lymphangitis, antibacterial drugs such as penicillin or co-sulfamethoxazole can be used for treatment, or Chinese herbal prescriptions for clearing heat and detoxifying can be used.

Patients with diabetes are given hypoglycemic drugs or insulin and other corresponding treatment measures. For refractory patients, immunoglobulin, autologous vaccine or polyvalent staphylococcal vaccine can be injected.

Boils on the external auditory canal, nose, and upper lip should not be cut open, let alone squeezed, to prevent the spread of infection.

How to prevent boils

The key to preventing this disease is to pay attention to the cleanliness of facial skin, prevent bacterial invasion, avoid scratching or squeezing, and strictly prohibit incision and drainage. It is worthy of medical treatment and patients should remember this.

First of all, you need to keep your skin clean and wash away the dirt and pathogens on your skin in time. Secondly, we must maintain good personal hygiene and cut our nails frequently. Strengthen dietary conditioning and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Mung beans, winter melon, kelp, etc. are sweet and cool in nature, and have the effects of clearing heat and improving eyesight, clearing away heat and thirst, and relieving heat and toxins. Children can eat more of them appropriately.

Don't squeeze boils on your body

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 the 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 brain 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.
