The penis appears on the penis for various reasons. This problem is often found in modern men. This is due to the nature of the environment and food preferences. Different rashes on the penis are not recommended to squeeze out or open yourself. There is a risk of additional infection. Complications can lead to sepsis and further lethal outcome. When any new growth occurs on the genitals, it is necessary to consult a specialist. The doctor will determine the nature of the pathology and prescribe the necessary therapy.
Characteristics of the
problem Furuncles occur on areas of the skin that have sebaceous glands and hair follicles. Sebaceous glands of the penis in large numbers are located on the foreskin. It is for this reason that rashes are common in this area. On the member rod, there are rare hair follicles. The root of the hair is located in a special bed. The sebaceous papilla leaves in the bed. He takes surplus fat to the surface. If the cleansing of the bed does not occur, a blockage occurs. Under the hardened shell continues to accumulate fat. Excess of secretions cause inflammation of the hairy bed. Externally, this process is accompanied by the appearance of a furuncle or pimple.
Boils can have different etiologies. They differ in terms of quantity. On the skin can appear one furuncle or several. With multiple appearance of rashes diagnosed furunculosis.
Reasons for the appearance of tumors on the penis
Furuncles on the genital organs occur under the influence of various factors. Experts subdivide them into two large groups:
- External causes;
- Internal factors.
External causes are associated with the characteristics of the environment and the observance of basic rules of personal hygiene. Internal factors depend on the work of various systems of the body.
External causes arise against the background of harmful environmental influences. These include shaving genitals, temperature changes, improperly selected underwear.
Shaving genitals can cause trauma to the skin. In the wound are various pathogens. Under their influence, deceased tissue cells, sebaceous secretions and bacteria accumulate on the wound surface. This mixture causes a strong inflammatory process. To prevent this, experts recommend observing a number of rules.
Underwear is not always made from natural fabrics. At modern men in a fashion the close boxers from a synthetic material have entered. With prolonged wearing of such laundry on the surface of the skin, rubbing occurs. Sharpening is an ideal breeding ground for staphylococci. The bacterium has a harmful effect on the positive microflora of the reproductive system and tissue cells. Frequent appearance of the naryttes provokes a systematic form of furunculosis.
Temperature changes also have a pathological effect on the condition of the sebaceous glands of the penis. With a strong supercooling, the production of fat increases. If cleansing does not occur in a short time interval, then multiple rashes appear. These boils should be treated with drugs for internal and external use.
Internal factors are of great importance in the appearance of furuncles on the penis. The frequent cause of furunculosis is a decrease in the body's immune defenses. It can happen against a background of a long absence of vitamins and minerals in food, severe hypothermia, therapy of concomitant diseases. In this case, a rapid infection of the organism with pathogenic microorganisms occurs. Microbes have a detrimental effect on the sebaceous glands. Furuncles appear not only on the penis, but also in the armpit. Therapy is carried out with the help of immunomodulating agents and antiviral drugs.
Also boils occur in people suffering from hormonal changes and diabetes mellitus. Hormones play an important role in the work of glands. If the production of hormones is disturbed, the normal performance of the gland functions is impossible. The dermatologist together with the endocrinologist is engaged in treatment.
Symptoms of the
problemThe furuncle develops gradually in several stages. At the first stage of development, a small seal on the penis appears in the man. The sealing surface is red and hot. At this stage, the gland is clogged. The omentum has not yet accumulated a large amount of sebum. Treatment gives a quick effect without additional opening of the boil.
In the second stage, a cone-shaped growth with a white middle appears on the surface of the penis. Inside the boil, a large amount of fat accumulates. A core is formed in the center of the cluster. The end of the stem forms the head of the furuncle. At this stage, a surgical dissection of the neoplasm is necessary.
The third stage is characterized by self-opening of the boil. The yield of fat and pus is carried out along the walls of the rod. He remains inside the neoplasm. It can be eliminated by washing the wound with an antiseptic solution. In severe cases, the withdrawal of fat and pus occurs in the inner layers of the skin. Thus there is a septic lesion of the dermis. This complication can only be solved by surgery.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is performed by taking a liquid from the boil to a microscopic examination. This is necessary for proper treatment. The liquid contains purulent fibers, dead cells of tissues and pathogenic microorganisms.
Microorganisms are placed in a special propagation-friendly medium. The colony is rapidly increasing. Experts easily determine the type of bacteria. After this, the effectiveness of antibiotics against this microorganism is checked. The drug, the effectiveness of which exceeds 70%, is prescribed for the treatment of men.
Treatment of pathology
Therapy of boils is carried out in various ways. Specialists use such therapy methods as:
- Drug therapy;
- Surgery;
- Phytotherapy;
- Immunostimulating treatment.
The furuncle on the genitals should be treated with antibiotic drugs, anti-inflammatory, antihistamines, antimicrobial agents. Antibiotics are prescribed to men for internal use. Good efficacy for furunculosis is shown by antibiotics of a wide spectrum of action. Against staphylococcus used drugs such as: "Doxycycline", "Levomycetin", "Gentamicin", "Ciprofloxacin."
Doxycycline has a large number of contraindications and side effects. The patient develops dyspepsia, nausea, weakness. The application is carried out within 10 days. If the patient shows adverse reactions on the 2-3 day of therapy, then the substance must be changed.
In many purulent inflammatory diseases, ciprofloxacin is used. The substance belongs to the group of fluoroquinolones. It is effective against a large number of pathogenic microorganisms. Treatment lasts no more than 7 days. The relief comes on 3-4 days of treatment. The daily dose of the drug should not exceed 2 mg.
For external use, ointments are used that help the rapid release of pus from the boil. Such substances include "Levomikol", "Levosin", "Ihtiol ointment 20%".The agent is applied to the surface of the boil and covered with a sterile tissue. The napkin is stored on the penis for 24 hours. After this, the dressing is removed, the surface of the boil is washed and cleaned. If there are remains of pus in the tumor, the procedure is repeated. It is necessary to 5 procedures for the complete purification of the furuncle from pus.
Antihistamines are used to relieve itching. Local medicines are more effective. These include Akriderm Genta, Belosalik, Sinoflan. The first preparation has a combined composition. It is effective even in the first stage of the boil.
After opening the boil it is necessary to conduct daily disinfection of the wound surface. It is carried out with the help of hydrogen peroxide or aqueous chlorhexidine. The solution is applied to the wound surface in a pure form. Surplus is removed with a clean gauze pad. Washing is carried out several times a day. Stop the rinsing of the wound can be when a solid crust appears on the wound surface.
Frequently, boils are removed by surgical dissection. The operation is performed under local anesthesia. The surface of the neoplasm is cut off by lidocaine. The substance allows a person not to experience pain. In some clinics, anesthesia is carried out with the help of Emla cream. Its action is based on the freezing of the same lidocaine. On the anesthetized surface a small incision is made, through which the boils leave the furuncle. A furacilin solution is introduced into the incision. It will help to completely clean the omentum from the accumulations and will have an antiseptic effect. A special rubber flagellum is placed in the cleared wound. It is necessary for a constant outflow of pathogenic fluid. When the gum surface is dry, the wound is sewn.
In the first stages of furunculosis, the surface of the penis can be treated with decoction of oak bark or chamomile flowers. Chamomile has an antiseptic and drying effect. Oak bark - astringent. These compresses can be alternated until the furuncle completely disappears.
Furuncles on the penis are an unpleasant problem for men. To eliminate it you need to undergo a medical examination. Self-medication is not recommended.
