Things To Know About Boils – Skin Abscess

Each pimple, or skin abscess, is a manifestation of a localized infection deep in the skin. Most illnesses can be monitored and resolved on their own but should not be subjective because of possible complications.
Acne
Furuncle is an infection in the hair follicles then the inflammatory lesions spread around. The lesions enlarge in 2-4 days.
Common types of pimples
Boils or cluster boils: This is an abscess in the skin caused by Staphylococcus aureus

. It may have one or more perforations on the skin and may be accompanied by fever or chills.
Acne: This is an abscess formed when the sebaceous gland is clogged and infected. Acne is most common in adolescents
Swollen sweat glands: This is a disease where many abscesses form in the armpits and groin area.



These areas are the result of focal inflammation of the sweat glands.
Hair follicle: This is an abscess that appears in the crease of the buttock. It usually forms after a long journey and has to sit.
The cause of pimples
Some boils can be caused by hair growing inside.
Acne can form as a result of debris or other foreign material on the skin.
Acne caused by clogged sweat glands becomes infected.
These cases are at risk for pimples
Anyone can have pimples, but people with certain diseases are more likely to develop pimples than normal people Among the diseases including diabetes, kidney failure, diseases accompanied by a weakened immune system can increase the likelihood of boils.

How to treat pimples
Most boils can be treated at home. Acne treatment should begin as soon as a boil is seen, because early treatment can avoid further problems.
The main treatment for most boils is heat - heat, usually soaked in warm water or covered with warm towels. The use of heat increases circulation to the area of the boil and helps the body fight infections.
When the boil is small and firm, the incision and drainage is not beneficial even if the area is painful. However, once the boil becomes soft or 'nail tip formation' (then, a pus is seen inside the boil), it is time to drain the boil. Once drained, pain can be reduced spectacularly.
Occasionally, especially large boils, need to be drained or 'pus drained' by a health professional.



Usually these large boils contain several pockets of pus that must be opened and drained.
If there is an infection of the surrounding skin, the doctor may decide to give antibiotics. However, antibiotics are not necessary in all cases and indeed, do not enter the abscess well and will not treat the abscess completely.
Skin abscess
The abscess is a cavity filled with pus (gangrene or infection). These include leukocytes, bacteria and dead tissue.
The most common abscess location
Skin abscess can occur anywhere on the skin, but often appears at the forearm, lower part of the spine or around the genitals and anus. Abscess usually presents as a swollen, hot, red and painful mass.
The cause of abscess
Any disruption of skin integrity such as a cut or abrasion can progress to an abscess if the site is infected.




Most small abscesses, like those formed around the hairline, drain themselves when warmed.
Finally, surgery may be needed, especially in recurrent hair follicles, but also for festering swollen glands. For hair cysts, removal of the capsule is important.
This procedure is usually done in the operating room. For extensive festering sweat gland inflammation may require plastic surgery.

How to treat skin abscess
There are several measures you can take to avoid abscess forming. Antibacterial soap can help prevent germs from growing on the skin and thus reduce the chance for an abscess to form.
Occasionally, your healthcare professional may recommend special cleansers such as pHisoderm to further reduce skin bacteria.




For acne and purulent sweat glands (see above), antibiotics may be needed for a long time to prevent abscess formation.
Other medications, such as isotretinoin (Accutane), may be used for acne and have been helpful in some patients with festering sweat glands. Recurrence is common in patients with festering sweat gland inflammation.
The cases must go to health facilities
Any boils or abscesses that occur on a diabetic or patients with underlying medical conditions (such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.) should be examined by a healthcare professional.
Moreover, many medications, especially Prednisone, suppress the immune system (the body's natural immune system) that can cause complications for a boil that should be simple. If you are unsure about the effect of the drug on your immune system, your pharmacist can explain to you which medications are of interest.
Skin boils can cause unbearable pain.
