Can a boil that is hard and does not produce pus be cured?

Everyone's skin condition is different. Some people have smooth skin, while others have sensitive and rough skin. This is mainly related to subcutaneous cells. Some people have boils on their faces. The boils are very hard and painful when pressed by hand. It is mainly a skin suppurative virus infection that causes blockage of facial hair follicles. Therefore, you must wash your face clean, avoid eating greasy and spicy foods, and do not burden your skin.

Furuncle is a purulent infection of hair follicles and the surrounding tissues deep inside the hair follicles. A carbuncle is formed when multiple adjacent hair follicles are infected, inflamed and fused. Early inflammatory nodules can be treated with hot compresses or physical therapy (thermal therapy, infrared or ultrashort waves), or topical antibiotic ointments such as mupirocin ointment. When there is a pus head, apply carbolic acid on the top. When there is fluctuation, drainage should be performed as soon as possible. Immature boils should not be squeezed to avoid spreading the infection.

The general consideration is that the furuncle is more likely to be caused by poor skin hygiene and inflammation of the skin hair follicles. It is also related to excessive sweating due to long-term sitting and inactivity. It can be improved by appropriate external ointment and oral anti-inflammatory drugs, such as capsules. In addition, you must pay attention to maintaining good skin hygiene and be careful not to eat spicy and irritating foods.

Small red, swollen and painful nodules appear locally, gradually enlarge and become cone-shaped. After a few days, the center of the nodule becomes soft due to tissue necrosis, and small yellow-white pus plugs appear; the area of ​​redness, swelling, and pain expands. After a few more days, the pus plug falls off, the pus is discharged, and the inflammation gradually disappears and heals.

There are generally no obvious systemic symptoms. However, if it occurs in an area rich in blood and the body's resistance is weakened, it can cause symptoms of toxic blood such as discomfort, chills, fever, headache and anorexia. If boils on the face, especially around the upper lip and nose in the so-called "danger triangle", are squeezed or pricked, the infection can easily enter the cavernous sinuses in the skull along the medial angular vein and the ophthalmic vein, causing suppurative cavernous sinusitis, with progressive redness, swelling and nodules extending to the eyes and surrounding tissues, accompanied by pain and tenderness, headache, chills, high fever and even coma. The condition is very serious and the mortality rate is very high.
