How to treat small boils

Small沸腾can usually be treated on your own at home. Small boils that can be treated at home can take anywhere from a few days to three weeks to heal.

以下是摆脱煮沸的一些提示：

  • Don’t squeeze or try to drain a boil yourself. This can lead to a spread of the infection or possibly cause a secondary infection of the boil.
  • 每天几次煮沸一张温暖的湿毛巾。
  • Add some pressure when holding the washcloth in place without directly puncturing the boil.
  • 一旦沸腾自然破裂，将其覆盖着新鲜，清洁的绷带或纱布。这将使感染蔓延到其他地方。
  • 照顾你的煮沸后，洗手。这也是防止感染蔓延。

如果你煮沸或一组沸腾（carbunculosis), you should see your doctor for treatment. Only your doctor can drain a large boil or carbuncle safely.

此外，有时大量沸腾变得柔软，不会自行爆发。这是您的医生可以通过仔细排出它来照顾的另一个问题。

In some cases, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to help clear up the infection. This is especially the case with face boils, since they run a higher risk of complications such as secondary infection or scarring.

Recurrent furunculosis

如果您沸腾的是一年以上返回超过三次的情况，则您有一个称为反复发生的Furunculosis的病症。复发性FuRunculis病通常会更容易地蔓延，特别是家庭成员之间，因为它经常再次被重新传播。

Many times, the boils of recurrent furunculosis appear in areas where the skin folds. These areas include under the breasts, under the stomach, in the underarms, and in the groin area.

Recurrent furunculosis should be treated by a doctor.

您不能总是防止沸腾发生。但是，您可以通过以下这些提示防止沸腾到身体的其他部位和他人的其他部分：

  • Keep the boil covered with a clean bandage at all times.
  • Any time you or someone else comes into contact with your boil for any reason, you should wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Clean the boil as well.
  • When you have a boil, washing and keeping your clothes and bedding clean can also help prevent infection from spreading:
    • 洗衣服和床上用水。
    • 添加漂白剂以及洗涤剂也可以帮助。
    • 干燥时，请务必将干燥器设置为高热量。
    • Keep all surfaces that you may touch cleaned and disinfected regularly. These include door knobs, toilet seats, bath tubs, and commonly used surfaces throughout the home.
    • 避免分享与皮肤接触的物品。这些物品包括剃须刀，运动设备和毛巾。

疮,或furuncles, are bumps on your skin that are red and can be quite painful. They are caused by bacteria. The name of this type of bacteria is葡萄球菌金黄色葡萄球菌。

After a period of time, boils will become filled with pus. They are usually found on a hair follicle that has become infected. However, they can occur anywhere on your body.

These areas tend to have more sweat around the hair follicles and also some type of irritation. This combination provides the perfect atmosphere for a boil to eventually appear.

几个沸腾在一组中被称为痈。

当它开始出来时，煮沸将是豌豆大小和红色。随着脓液填充，它会成长并变得更加痛苦。煮沸周围的皮肤也会是红色的并且可能肿胀。凹凸的顶部最终将有一个尖端，呈黄色白色。

经过一段时间，这个提示将突发并开始泄漏脓液。如果你有一桶痈，你也可能发烧，并且一般都很漂亮。

Boils, including those that are recurrent, usually have few complications. The main complication is scarring.

Another complication is the possibility of boils leading to recurrent furunculosis.

Some people may have a condition known asHidradenitisuppurativa。这种情况可以类似于经常性沸腾，但实际上是慢性和更严重的。当无法识别和适当地治疗时，它可能导致疤痕和恶化。

如果您在皮肤褶皱中沸腾，请参阅医生。

Not as common is the development of a secondary infection from the boil. This secondary infection in can lead to败血症, which is blood poisoning. However, sepsis is a very rare complication and can be avoided by getting proper treatment early.
