Suppurated atheroma author: doctor Ivanova Yu.A. Atheroma is a tumor that is benign in clinical and morphological classifications and refers to epithelial cysts. Usually atheroma develops on the hairy areas of the body, so it is more common on the head and face, which are particularly rich in the sebaceous glands. The cause of this tumor (cysts) is a blockage of the duct of these sebaceous glands. This tumor is formed from a bag that contains thick, mushy masses of white or yellow color, having a specific smell something like the smell of rancid cheese. Atheroma is a painless knot most often of a multi-dimensional diameter, which can be of absolutely different sizes. Atheroma has a smooth, mobile, rounded shape, with clear contours sometimes merged with the surface of the skin. At the same time the skin over it is not changed and is not going to fold. Despite the fact that such tumors as atheroma do not refer to cancerous growths, nevertheless, their long existence and the presence of negative factors can cause many complications. The first thing that most often occurs is the suppuration, which entails the formation of an abscess. If bacteria fall under the capsule of atheroma, immediately there is inflammation, since the gruel, which contains atheroma, is an excellent nutrient medium for most microorganisms. Then the contents of the atheroma turns into pus and either breaks outward, or spreads under the skin. There is a sharp pain, redness and swelling of the skin, the body temperature rises and the general condition of the body worsens. The main treatment for a suppurative tumor is surgical intervention and complete removal of atheroma. But, it is possible only in the event that there is no inflammation. If the inflammatory process occurs, first the dissection of the cavity of the atheroma and the elimination of everything that contains the capsule are performed. Also, the removal of atheroma by laser and the radio wave method of atheroma removal are practiced. As a rule, the operation is not complicated and is performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon easily opens the abscess, making a puncture 3-5 mm in size, removes the pus contained inside the capsule. Then it rinses the cavity with an antiseptic and leaves a silicone tubing (special drainage) in the wound, along which the leftovers of the contents flow out. Sometimes a tissue fluid accumulates in the cavity from the wound with clots of blood, in this case, drainage prevents formation, and the development of an infectious focus. If necessary, the surgeon who performed the surgery may prescribe antibiotics to exclude the development of infection in the postoperative wound. And only after the consequences of inflammation of the tumor completely disappear, on average it takes from two to three months, the capsule is completely removed. Therefore, do not delay with such a disease as atheroma and it is better to remove it as soon as possible, it will help to avoid many complications. It is recommended to read the purulent atheroma from another doctor.

Carbuncle is a purulent disease caused by staphylococcus or streptococcus, when several adjacent hair follicles and sebaceous glands are affected, with purulent inflammation spreading deep, affecting both the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and sometimes the covering of the muscle. There are carbuncles more often one by one (rarely there may be 2-3 on the body). This difference in the initial degree of carbuncle from the boil, which are caused by the same microbes, but on the body are in number of several copies. The wound was healed - we are working correctly Author: Ambrosova I.A. Before we find out how to treat the wounded wounds, we will try to find out which wounds can be threatened with suppuration. The risk group includes wounds to which earth, dirt, scraps of clothing have fallen, etc. They very quickly become infected due to the fact that they create all the conditions for the development of pyogenic processes. Therefore, almost every untreated wound can become inflamed. Antibiotics for Purulent Wounds Author: doctor Kuznetsov MA Our body is a complex biological system with a huge potential for self-healing, including healing of wounds. In this regard, the main task in the treatment of purulent wounds is to use medicinal preparations depending on the stage of the process. Soft tissue phlegmon author: doctor Saplonov KN Phlegmon is a severe form of purulent-inflammatory process. For phlegmon is characterized by an unlimited spread of purulent infection in the intercellular space. Phlegmon are caused not only by pyogenic bacteria (causing suppuration), but also putrefactive and anaerobic (not requiring oxygen). Phlegmon can develop in different tissues and organs and, according to the nature of its anatomical location, has a corresponding name. Atheroma: the causes of author: doctor Kamneva A.N. Atheroma is called the cyst of the sebaceous gland. Conventional occlusion of the cutaneous duct of the gland can provoke the development of thin-walled formations with greasy contents. Very often, atheromas occur on the face and head in the scalp. This is due to the fact that it is in these parts of the body that most of the sebaceous glands. Atheroma on the back: symptoms and treatment, features in children author: doctor Stryuk ON The skin is the largest organ of man. It performs many different functions. The main ones are the protection of the body from external stimuli (the effects of ultraviolet rays, mechanical and physical factors, biological objects), regulation of heat exchange between the body and the environment, water-salt exchange (through the allocation of sweat). Purulent atheroma: causes and minimally invasive treatment author: doctor Alafinov V.D. Purulent atheroma is an acute microbial inflammation of the contents of a sealed and stretched sebaceous cutaneous gland. Sebaceous glands are located in the thickness of the skin and closely adjacent to the hair follicles. These glands produce fatty grease for hair and skin. When plugging the excretory ducts, cysts can be formed - pouches filled with a pulp-like sebaceous mass. In all places where hair grows and there are sebaceous glands, atheromas can form. Most often they appear in the area of the head, face, back, neck, genitals. Atheroma under the armpit Doctor A. Deriushev Atheroma is a tumor, painful, mobile upon palpation, which is usually located subcutaneously or intradermally. The surface of the atheroma is smooth, the shape is round or slightly oblong. Consistency of atheroma is mild. |
