Overview
切割是皮肤受损区域,通常由某种形式的创伤引起。割伤可以出现在体内的任何地方。
When germs get into the sensitive tissues beneath our skin via the cut, the cut may become infected. An infection can develop any time between two or three days after the cut occurred until it’s visibly healed.
继续阅读以了解如何识别受感染的切割,以及您可以采取什么措施来治疗和防止这种情况。
An uninfected cut will gradually improve until it’s fully healed, while an infected cut becomes more painful over time.
围绕切口的皮肤通常是红色的,可能会感觉到很热。您可能会注意到受影响区域的肿胀。随着感染的发展,它可能开始渗出一种称为脓液的黄色物质。
如果您有这些感染迹象,请立即进行医疗护理:
这些症状表明感染已经扩散。
如果您刚刚开始注意到您的剪裁在边缘周围看起来有些红,则可以在家中对待它。
确保您已经用肥皂和水洗了伤口,清除了任何可见的碎屑。防腐解决方案,例如hydrogen peroxide可以在第一天使用,但不超过一次。伤口清洁后,将其干燥并保持覆盖抗生素软膏,例如新孢蛋白,以及绷带until new skin has developed over the wound.
If the redness continues to spread or the cut begins to ooze pus, seek medical attention.
Don’t try to treat signs of infection in a large cut at home. Instead, see your doctor immediately for treatment.
如果你感染了削减不在家清理,then you may need antibiotics prescribed by your doctor. Some commonly prescribed antibiotics include:
- 阿莫西林 - 克拉烷酸盐(Augmentin,augmentin-duo)
- 头甲霉素(keflex)
- 强力霉素(Doryx)
- 双氧甲基肽
- trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra)
- clindamycin(Cleocin)
The doctor will also clean your cut and apply an appropriate dressing. They may use a topical numbing agent before cleaning it to reduce pain.
如果未迅速治疗感染的切割,则感染将开始扩散到皮肤下的较深的组织中。这就是所谓的cellulitis。感染可以通过血液传播到身体的其他部位。感染传播后,您将开始感到普遍不适并发烧。
蜂窝织炎可以发育成严重的感染称为sepsis。受感染的切割也可能无法正常愈合。它可以导致皮肤感染如impetigo,它也可能成为脓肿。
In extremely rare cases, an untreated infected cut can develop intonecrotising fasciitis。This is more commonly known as the “flesh-eating disease.” It leaves large areas of the skin damaged and painful.
在某些情况下会增加您发展受感染削减的风险,例如:
受伤后立即清洁区域。如果没有清洁的水,请使用酒精湿巾。
Once you’ve cleaned the area, wait for it to dry, and then apply an antiseptic or antibiotic cream to help keep germs away. Cover the area with a clean dressing to further protect the cut.
Be sure to choose a suitable dressing. Use one that won’t stick to the cut. If you’re unsure about which type of dressing to use, you can ask your pharmacist.
Seek immediate medical attention if:
- 您怀疑您的割伤内部可能有一个异物
- 你不能停止流血
- the cut is very large
- 伤口是由动物或人咬伤引起的
密切监视切割,以便您注意到是否有丝毫感染的迹象。感染越早,可以对其进行更快,更容易的治疗。
