Abrasions - the general name of purulent lesions (boil), caused by the bacterium Staphylococcus. Boils are distributed over the skin surface with a strong localization in the neck, back, buttocks, armpits, chest, face. Rashes are very painful and are more common in those areas of the skin that are regularly exposed to injury, such as clothing, jewelry.

Abrasions affects the skin in the form of single or multiple pyogenic abscesses. The accumulation of several boils boils indicates a possible development. Boil often have a size of a small pea, but some reach volumes of walnut. In cases of large abscesses length of 7 cm or location of the entire group of boils on one small area be suspected in a patient especially dangerous form of the disease - carbunculosis.

What it is?

Abrasions - a disease of an infectious nature, in which the formation of boils.

Furuncle (Vulgar name of a boil) - purulent inflammation of the hair follicle, which is involved in the surrounding tissue. Inflammation is caused by the introduction into the hair follicle infectious agent which is aureus.

The most common cause is Staphylococcus aureus boils, at least - white staphylococcus.

It is contagious or not?

Despite the fact that the abrasions major causative factor is a bacterial infection, the disease is not infectious for healthy people as staphylococci and streptococci are conditionally pathogenic flora in small numbers almost always present on the skin.

Causes of

Various factors influence the development of the disease - especially pathogenic properties of bacteria and their virulence (infectiousness) predisposing causes - internal and external.

  1. Furunculosis may manifest itself as a primary form of the disease, developing a completely healthy (up to disease) integument.
  2. As a secondary form, due to complicated processes currently present in the deep or superficial stafilodermy.

The main reason for furunculosis exogenous (foreign) due to the creation of "gates" for the introduction of infection, a small wound of skin damage caused by scratching, rubbing of clothing or traumatic damage. An important role in the development of large pockets of boils played by internal factors:

  • diseases of the nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract;
  • anemia and hypovitaminosis;
  • alcoholism;
  • diseases of the endocrine system and metabolic disorders (diabetes, obesity);
  • long-term treatment with antibacterial drugs, cytostatics or hormones;
  • constant exposure to cold or overheating, leading to a decrease in immune reactivity.

Causes of pathological festering boils can be supplemented by many more factors, so that preventive events, and treatment of boils, the causes of which are not clear, will not bring the desired effect and the disease will take a chronic current form.

developmental stage

The development of inflammatory pathological formation has several stages and related clinical manifestations:

  1. Infiltration - the initial stage, characterized by localized redness (erythema) of the skin around the hair follicle form a seal (papules) with significant morbidity.
  2. Fluctuation - is accompanied by loss of tissue and the formation of pus. Papule is softened, and you can see the pus accumulated in the follicle (pustule).
  3. Autopsy boils - on the skin filled with pus furuncle breaks, pus flows out in a small volume. This stage is characterized by a decrease in the severity of pain.
  4. Regeneration (restoration) fabrics - wound on site penetrated ulcer healing at its location forms a small scar.

With the development of the common boils appear on the skin inflammatory elements at different stages of the pathological process.

Abrasions in children

In children, the disease develops due to external factors or exposure to cold, which led to decreased immunity. Very often, children develop boils on the face, which can cause adverse effects.

Very often children suffer from psevdofurunkuleza. What is this disease? Under psevdofurunkulezom imply the defeat of the sweat glands of the child with the formation of pus. The condition occurs due to the penetration of a staph infection. Baby skin covers a large number of bubbles. In the risk zone as newborn babies and older children. Treatment is carried out in a hospital with antibiotics.

Diagnostics

Before you treat a disease, it is necessary that an experienced doctor has been put right and appropriate diagnosis. Diagnosis of the disease can not be held particularly complex and does not need to conduct a full examination of the body. Furunculosis is characterized by symptoms of surface manifestations, therefore, to establish a diagnosis for a person skilled in the cellar.

Originally performed an external examination of the skin and pockets of progression places. Based boils specialist diagnoses the nature of the disease. If in doubt, do not rule out the sweeping of diagnosing infection with the production reasons. This will require a pass tests purulent bacterial inoculation test the composition of the follicular sac. The doctor also gives direction to a blood test and delivery of immunodiagnostics.

If the results do not make it possible to build up a picture of the disease, then conduct a full examination of the person (in rare cases). cause of reduced immunity (presence of diabetes, blood diseases) is determined on the basis of a general examination.

  • Attempts to squeeze yourself or reveal purulent education.
  • A weakened immune system.
  • Injuries and damage to the skin.
  • Failure to observe personal hygiene.
  • Endocrine pathology.
  • Elderly age.

In addition, attempts to squeeze or puncture the boil can lead to blood poisoning and meningitis, staphylococcus infection of other organs, if the contents of the abscess gets into the blood vessel.

Spread of infection to the lymph nodes can cause lymphadenitis.

boils treatment

So, how to treat abrasions at home? First of all follow the basic rules of personal hygiene:

  1. Bed linen and underwear need not only to be changed frequently, but also well proutyuzhivat.
  2. If the skin will occur any cuts, they pay special attention to the treatment, otherwise in these areas, too, may have boils.

  4. Meals must contain the required set of vitamins and proteins, as the disease is almost always associated with a lack of vital micronutrients. Adequate diet contributes to better regeneration.
  5. It is desirable to limit throughout the bath therapy, do not wet the inflamed area unnecessarily. Therefore trays are used rarely, only in cases where serious and extensive lesions. The solution should be a disinfectant, so the water must add potassium permanganate. The skin can be cleaned and other antiseptic solutions (furatsilin, salicyl alcohol).

  • penicillins (Flemoksin, Amoksiklav);
  • cephalosporins (Ceftriaxone, Cephalexin);
  • macrolides (Sumamed, clarithromycin);
  • lincosamides (lincomycin), and others.

Duration of antibiotic treatment in most cases is 10 days. Self discontinuation of treatment may trigger a relapse of the disease, as well as the formation of antibiotic-resistant staphylococci. When this drug is effective in the first application, hereinafter will not help the patient.

For topical treatments, various preparations depending on the stage of development of furunculosis: Ichthyol, salicylic acid, chlorhexidine. After cleansing of purulent inflammation focus is applied to the cleaned wound levomikol, Vishnevsky ointment. Ointment applied 2 times a day, from the top are covered with a sterile bandage.

When the location of furunculosis on his face mandatory bed rest to prevent the development of complications. The patient can not talk or - some other way stretch facial muscles.
