Armpit folliculitis

During puberty, sweat hair will grow in the armpits, but if you sweat frequently, it will cause armpit folliculitis. In the early stages, red patches will appear in the armpits, accompanied by pain, redness and swelling. If you want to solve this disease, you must keep the armpits dry and you can apply some talcum powder. In serious cases, ointment must be applied to solve the problem, otherwise it will cause ulceration. The following is a detailed introduction.

It is very common in folliculitis, but due to the special location of the onset of axillary folliculitis, it is inconvenient to treat. When it first occurs, axillary folliculitis is often scattered, the size of a grain of rice, bright red or dark red follicular papules, with the hair running through the center and an inflammatory red halo around the edge, which then quickly turns into pustules, but do not merge with each other. If it is not treated as soon as possible, the damage caused by axillary folliculitis will be aggravated. Therefore, patients are reminded that they must not underestimate axillary folliculitis.

The symptoms of axillary folliculitis are sometimes mild and sometimes severe, and they do not heal repeatedly. The degree of itching varies and is sometimes accompanied by slight pain. During examination, the lymph nodes near the affected area are swollen, and severe axillary folliculitis may be accompanied by fever. Therefore, it is very important to understand axillary folliculitis, otherwise serious consequences will seriously affect the treatment.

1. Systemic therapy: When the skin lesions are extensive and there are obvious pus heads, broad-spectrum antibiotics should be given. If conditions permit, pus fluid can be sent for culture and drug sensitivity test, which will provide important guidance for selecting more effective drugs.

2. Immunotherapy: Patients with chronic recurrent attacks can be injected with furunculosis vaccine, subcutaneously once a week. The initial dose is 0.5 ml, the second dose is 1 ml, the third dose is 1.5 ml, and each subsequent dose is 2 ml. Generally, there are no adverse reactions after injection. If you experience fever or other discomfort, do not increase the dose. If necessary, reduce the dose or stop using the product.

3. Local therapy: When skin lesions occur, avoid washing the affected area with water and avoid scratching. The hair in the affected area should be cut short. Bactericidal and antipruritic drugs can be applied locally. The above is an introduction to it. Finally, experts remind patients to pay attention to the cleanliness of their skin, avoid scratching, eat less irritating food and animal fat as much as possible, and maintain a bowel movement every day. If you have axillary folliculitis, the sooner you treat it, the better. It is recommended to choose a regular hospital for examination.
