Panaritium treatment at home on the arm - more information

Fingers are most prone to cuts, scratches, abrasions and other minor injuries. Usually we simply do not pay attention to such troubles and do not even think about how to handle the wound accordingly. As a result, a "window" is created to penetrate the body of harmful bacteria, which can cause a number of dangerous diseases. One of them is called panaritium - it is a painful suppuration, which can lead to the need for a surgical operation.

What is panaritium?

Panaritium is a septic inflammation of the soft tissues of the limbs, which usually affects the fingers, less often the legs of the .

Its pathogens are bacteria that get under the skin and into soft tissues through a poorly treated wound: they include staphylococci, streptococci, Escherichia coli, various fungi, etc. Especially often, panaritium develops due to foreign bodies falling under the skin( for example, splinters).Common symptoms of the disease include:

• pain at the site of infection, which carries a jerking, bursting or shooting character;
• edema and redness of the affected area;
• impaired motor activity.

The remaining symptoms and manifestations of panarization depend on the form of the disease, which can be several.

Form	Form	Form	Form	Form	Localization	Manifestations
Cutaneous panaritium	Severe burn, corn, mechanic trauma	In the area of ​​the nail plate	Redness, swelling, burning sensation, periodic pain
Nearly otolar felony	Unsuccessful deburring, trauma in manicure procedures	In the immediateproximity to the nail	Painful sensations in the surrounding nail plate of soft tissues. Subsequently, there is swelling and redness, and the purulent contents of the
can be seen through the skin. Subungual panaritium	Nail injury with development of the bruise	Under the nails or next to them	Pain, nail color change, swelling
Subcutaneous panaritium	Infected injuries, scratches, punctures	Padsfingers	Sharp pain, having a shooting character that increases with pressure
Bone Panaritium	Subcutaneous panaritium( when the inflammatory process goes to the boneь), an open fracture of the phalanx of the fingers with infection	Anywhere	Growing pain, fever, weakness, tachycardia, symptoms of general intoxication
Articular felony	Causes are closely related to bone felon	In the area of ​​the joints of the fingers	The symptoms of bone felon are added to the difficultyin flexion of joints
Tendon of Panaritium	Injury of tendons, effects of cutaneous form of the disease	In places where the tendons pass	Acute pain, worse when tryingto move a finger, a strong swelling, swelling, a pronounced intoxication of the body

In most cases, the diagnosed panaritiums are cured without consequences, and often do not require surgical intervention. The most severe form of the disease is tendon, as the pathological process can cause destruction of bone tissue.

Principles of Treatment of

Disease First of all, it should be noted that at home, only the cutaneous and subcutaneous form of the disease can be treated, and in all other cases it is necessary to consult a doctor. If the therapy is incorrect, the pathological process can penetrate deep into the tissues and lead to sepsis or loss of fingers.

What can not be done with the ban?

In order not to aggravate the situation in the treatment of panaric attacks in the home, a number of important rules must be followed.

1. Do not open the boil yourself. It is only a specialist who can open a panic without risk to the patient's health. With an independent procedure, pus can get into the cellulose, resulting in phlegmon( purulent inflammation of the intercellular space) and sepsis.
2. Do not take antibiotics without prescribing a doctor. Improper intake of antibiotics leads to the formation of drug-resistant strains and complicates further treatment.
3. Do not heat the place where the panaritium was formed. Thermal procedures( for example, compresses) create a good environment for the multiplication of pathogenic microorganisms, because of which inflammation can spread to nearby tissues.

If the disease is accompanied by symptoms such as reduced mobility of the hand, fever, weakness, headache, or tachycardia, medical attention should be sought immediately.

With regular formation of panaritic blood tests and cultures on bacteria, it is necessary to apply to the immunologist and endocrinologist( the situation may speak of a decrease in immunity or a metabolic disorder).

Medical products for the treatment of panaritans

The antibiotics that destroy the pathogenic microflora are most effective in combating panaritium, but they can only be taken after consultation with a doctor. What can be done at home? The safest means used to treat the disease are antiseptic ointments, which are applied to suppurations in the form of compresses, applications and trays.

1. Ointment of Vishnevsky .One of the proven tools that have been used to treat septic skin processes for many years. The only drawback is an unpleasant smell.
2. « Furacilin ».Tablets "Furatsilina" should be dissolved in hot water( so that the temperature was comfortable), lower the finger there and keep 30-40 minutes.
3. Ichthyol ointment .It is used in the treatment of herpetic panaritium, although the remedy can be more often attributed to folk recipes, since a scientific justification for its effectiveness has not yet been revealed.
4. « Levomekol ».The procedure is as follows: first make a moderately hot bath, which improves the blood supply to the affected area, after which a compress is applied from the left-leave. Ointment destroys harmful microorganisms, and also helps regeneration and purification of tissues.
5. Tetracycline ointment .It is effective only at the initial stages of the disease, when the suppuration spread not too widely. Affected area is lubricated several times a day, and the ointment can be alternated with zinc paste.
6. « Linkomycin ».The product is available in the form of ointments, solutions or capsules and contains an antibiotic, so its use should be under the supervision of a doctor.
7. Dimexide .Dimexide should be used with great care, as there is a risk of chemical burns to the skin. It is diluted with water in a proportion of 1 to 4, moistened in a solution of cheesecloth folded several times, after which they make an application to the affected area, close it with a polyethylene film and wrap it well. Keep the compress for 40 minutes.

If the aforementioned means do not give the desired effect, and the disease continues to progress, it is necessary to consult a doctor as soon as possible so that the inflammation and purulent process does not progress.
