Purulent wounds. Get rid of pimples quickly and effectively

Wounds begin to fester when pathogens enter them from the external environment. They are there immediately after the injury, if it is caused by a dirty object (primary infection) or get inside as a result of violation of the rules of dressing and treatment (secondary infection).

The infectious process leads to inflammation and pain, interferes with the normal healing of tissues and can spread further, leading to intoxication of the body and sepsis. It is important to recognize signs of infection in time and eliminate it as soon as possible. In this article we will talk about the treatment of purulent wounds at different stages of the inflammatory process.

Shulepin Ivan Vladimirovich, traumatologist-orthopedist, highest qualification category

The total work experience is more than 25 years. In 1994 he graduated from the Moscow Institute of Medical and Social Rehabilitology, in 1997 he completed residency in the specialty "Traumatology and Orthopedics" at the Central Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics named after I.I. N.N. Prifova.

Pathogenic microorganisms easily enter an open wound, however, our body has its own mechanisms of protection against infection, so the inflammatory process does not always develop. Usually, lesions heal successfully, but there are factors that push to suppuration. They are conditionally divided into three groups: those related to the wound, to the body as a whole, and external conditions.

Wound characteristics complicating healing:

Initial contamination, foreign elements in the wound cavity;
Deep, tortuous wound channel, cavities under the skin with a narrow exit to the outside (there is a risk of infection with anaerobic bacteria, exudate does not drain well and accumulates inside);
Formed hematoma (blood is an excellent medium for the reproduction of pathogenic microflora).

Body characteristics:

Immunodeficiency states, congenital and acquired;
Chronic vascular diseases, diabetes mellitus;
Exhaustion of the body due to illness, poor nutrition;
Childhood and old age

Unfavorable external conditions:

Incorrect wound treatment or its absence;
Being in unsanitary conditions (dirt, high humidity).

So, it is worth being especially attentive to complex wounds, contaminated or irregular in shape, taking into account the general condition of the body in order to prevent negative reactions.

Signs of inflammation

They are also divided into two groups: local and systemic.

Note that the infection does not remain local for long - only 6-9 hours.

Pathogenic microorganisms and toxic products of their vital activity spread with the lymph flow, causing a reaction of the whole organism.

The first signs of inflammation:

The skin at the site of injury becomes hot;
There is redness around the wound;
Edema, swelling is formed along the edge;
Aching, throbbing pain is felt, which is aggravated by pressing a finger on the edge of the wound.

As the infection spreads with lymph flow, common symptoms develop:

increase in body temperature;
weakness and lethargy;
increased heart rate;
leukocytosis;
enlargement and soreness of the lymph nodes closest to the wound.

When infected with pathogenic microorganisms, pus appears at the site of the lesion. At first it is liquid and expires from the wound, then thickens. Pus has an unpleasant odor, the shade depends on the nature of the microflora. It is usually yellowish or greenish.

With chronic inflammation, a purulent focus is formed with granulation tissue along the edge - an abscess (abscess). If the wound abscesses, the help of a surgeon is required to open the abscess.

Methods of wound treatment at different stages

Treatment of infected wounds is divided into local and systemic.

Note that systemic drug treatment is prescribed only by a doctor.

This includes detoxification therapy, taking antibiotics, immunomodulatory drugs, vitamins, etc.

Local treatment is organized according to the phases of the wound process. At each stage, their methods and preparations are used.

Treatment in the inflammation phase

In the inflammation phase, the wound “gets wet” - liquid exudate is released, pus appears later, part of the tissue dies. When treating such a wound in the hospital, the surgeon rinses it with an antiseptic, removes pus and necrotic tissue, installs a drain to drain exudate, and applies a sterile dressing soaked in the same antiseptic solution. The bandage is changed every 5-6 hours, the wound is re-treated daily until granulation begins.

The surgical wounds that festered during the treatment are washed, the sutures are removed, the edges are parted.

At home, in relation to small inflamed wounds on the arm or leg, they do the same: they are washed, cleaned of pus, a napkin soaked in an antiseptic is applied, wrapped with a sterile bandage.

Ointments are not used at this stage - they prevent the outflow of fluid.

Usually water-soluble gel and ointment preparations are connected on the 3rd day.

The dried bandage is pre-soaked. After washing, ointments are applied to a sterile napkin and wrapped with a bandage.

Used to treat necrotic wounds proteolytic enzymes, which dissolve dead tissue and reduce inflammation (chymopsin, chymotrypsin, trypsin). They are used in the form of powders or solutions. To quickly remove the purulent discharge, a sorbent (polyphepan, cellosorb) is placed in the wound.

Today, hospitals are using new, progressive methods wound cleaning:

laser processing;
vacuum removal of pus;
ultrasonic cavitation;
cryotherapy;
pulsating jet treatment, etc.

Treatment of wounds with a laser

Treatment in the granulation (proliferation) phase

During this period, the inflammation gradually subsides, the wound is cleared of necrotic tissue and pus, and the amount of discharge decreases. Drainage is removed, absorbent dressings and washings are no longer needed. If required, at this stage, the surgeon applies secondary sutures, or the edges of the wound are pulled together with adhesive tape.

Connected to treatment ointments with anti-inflammatory, stimulating regeneration and antibacterial properties.

Treatment in the epithelialization phase

At this stage, the wound heals, a new thin epithelial tissue appears, and a scar is formed. The wound is protected from injury softening and stimulating regeneration ointments and creams that prevent the formation of a rough tightening scar.

Overview of Wound Medicines

Today, pharmacies offer a lot of drugs for the treatment of wounds. Consider the most commonly used.

Solutions for washing:

boric acid 3%;
chlorhexidine 0.02%;
dioxidine 1%;
miramistin;
furatsilin and others.

Antibacterial gels and ointments on a water-soluble basis:

Levosin;
Solcoseryl gel;
Levomekol;
Dioxidine;
Methyluracil with miramistin.

These drugs accelerate the cleansing of the wound from dead parts and pus, destroy pathogenic microorganisms, and stimulate granulation. They are applied in a thin layer once a day, laid in a wound with a sterile napkin or injected into the drainage.

Antibiotic ointments:

Gentamicin;
Synthomycin.

These are inexpensive bactericidal drugs with a wide spectrum of action for the treatment of non-healing wounds, abscesses, ulcers.

Ointments with regenerating and anti-inflammatory properties:

Solcoseryl;
Actovegin

They improve metabolism and cellular metabolism, accelerate epithelialization, reduce inflammation, and create a protective film on the surface.

Preparations of complex action:

Oxycyclosol (aerosol with oxytetracycline and prednisolone in the composition);
Oxycort and Hyoxysone (aerosol and ointment with oxytetracycline and hydrocortisone)

Scar creams:

Contractubex;
Dermatix;
Zeraderm.

Folk methods of treatment

Small inflamed cuts and scratches can be treated at home, folk remedies are often used for this.

A hypertonic saline solution (sodium chloride 10%) is suitable for washing in the first stage. It can be made at home by adding 90 g of salt to a liter of clean water and straining through sterile gauze. The agent delays and adsorbs exudate without damaging the surrounding tissues.

Also used for this purpose decoctions of chamomile and calendula. A tablespoon of raw materials is poured into a glass of water, heated in a water bath for 15 minutes, filtered thoroughly. Wash the wounds twice a day.

An aloe leaf from an adult plant (at least 2-3 years old) is used as a regenerating and anti-inflammatory agent. It is cut off, put in the refrigerator for a day. Then cut in half lengthwise and tied with the inside to the wound.

At the healing stage, mummy is used to prevent the formation of a rough scar. 1.5 g of this substance is dissolved in 50 ml of warm water and mixed with a tube of baby cream. Apply once a day. Helps and sea buckthorn oil, it simultaneously softens the skin and stimulates healing.

Remember that folk methods are only applicable for minor injuries or as an addition to traditional therapy.

Prevention of suppuration

To avoid long-term treatment, it is worth initially washing and treating all the damage received, even minor ones, with an antiseptic. If the doctor has prescribed a wound care procedure, you must follow it and use the prescribed drugs. Before dressing - wash your hands thoroughly, use sterile gauze and bandages.

Skin lesions heal poorly in diabetes, peripheral circulatory disorders. In this case, it is recommended to protect yourself from injuries, and if you receive them, seek help from a traumatologist.

Conclusion

If the wound is inflamed, festered, you need to take immediate action. If the condition worsens, symptoms of intoxication appear, seek medical help. The range of remedies for treatment is extensive, but it is important to apply them in order and following the instructions, then the wound will heal quickly and without a trace.

If the wound is not serious, you can treat it yourself at home. How to do it right?

Everyone at least once in his life received abrasions and wounds, accompanied by purulent inflammation. Before deciding how to draw pus out of a wound, one should understand the mechanism of formation of the suppuration itself. Basically, as a result of damage to the skin, microbes and foreign bodies penetrate the wound. The human immune system reacts to their appearance in the form of secreting an increased number of leukocytes. In this case, immune cells are destroyed when foreign components are destroyed. This is how pus appears in the wound.

How to deal with pus in a damaged area?

When a purulent wound is formed, a number of actions must be performed to avoid complications:

Consult a physician. He will check the wound for the presence of pus, install a drain that removes pus. Will make a dressing.
The wound is bandaged with the application of a solution of sodium chloride and ointments that qualitatively draw out pus, having previously been treated with antiseptics.
In order to remove dead skin tissue, dressings with trypsin elements are used. If suppuration has a large area, doctors prescribe antibiotics, before that, an analysis is taken from the wound - sowing for sensitivity to antibiotics.
It is not recommended to open a purulent wound on your own before contacting a medical specialist. To avoid the formation of a dry crust, a bandage moistened with water is applied to it, which is often replaced.
If the bandage is stuck to the wound, it is necessary to moisten it with a weak solution of potassium permanganate or hydrogen peroxide. Rinse the wound with any antiseptic, treating the edges with brilliant green.

Surgical methods

As a rule, the inflammatory period in the human body lasts about 7 days, then pus appears when the wound is located close to the surface of the skin.

If the damage has a chipped character and is located deep, then the resulting pus cannot come out on its own. It penetrates deep into tissues. Thus, purulent inflammation develops, which serves as a harbinger of sepsis.

Sanitation carried out by a doctor in time will prevent possible complications of a closed wound. If the abscess is small, the doctor will open it under the influence of local anesthetics.

With complex pustular formations, the procedure is done in a hospital using anesthesia. After removing the pus, the wound is closed with an aseptic bandage, which is periodically changed.

Medical methods of pulling pus out without the intervention of a surgeon are also used. These are ointments, which include powerful antibiotics. They are detrimental to many microbes that caused purulent formation.

What means to use in each individual case, the physician decides.

Ointments that draw pus from the wound

If antiseptic preparations, such as alcohol, iodine, brilliant green, hydrogen peroxide, did not prevent the penetration of microbes and suppuration occurred, effective ointments are used to treat and draw out purulent formations:

Ointment "Levomekol" - has a combined effect. It contains an antibiotic and substances that accelerate the process of regeneration of the skin. It has a pulling pus effect, relieves inflammation. Before using the ointment, it is necessary to treat the surface of the damaged skin with a solution of hydrogen peroxide.
Streptocid ointment - has an antimicrobial effect, it treats small wounds and scratches, it eliminates the process of suppuration. It is used with caution in case of kidney problems; during pregnancy, use is not recommended.
Ichthyol ointment - it is characterized by excellent bactericidal, analgesic, disinfecting, purulent properties. Application: cotton wool is impregnated with ointment, applied to the damaged area, parchment is applied on top and fixed with a plaster, changed every 8 hours.
Synthomycin ointment - contains an antibiotic in the composition, it is used to treat poorly healing purulent wounds, prevents the appearance of pustules. Since it can be addictive, you should not use it for a long period - only when necessary.
Vishnevsky ointment - applied to accelerate the maturation of pus, as it stimulates local blood circulation. If the wound has already opened, this ointment not only draws pus to the surface, but also helps the skin to heal quickly. Application: compresses, lotions.

Before using ointments that draw pus from the wound, you should carefully read the instructions that come with them.

Traditional medicine for pulling pus

If the inflammatory process is not deep, has a small area, then you can try to cope with it by applying folk advice:

Apply a freshly cut aloe leaf or cabbage leaf, boiled or baked onion to the injured area.
Wash the affected area with a solution of furacilin.
If the purulent wound is located on the finger, you can lower it into a medical alcohol solution, hot water with the addition of soda, a solution of salt and water, a diluted tincture of calendula or wild rosemary.
Fresh buckwheat leaves are applied to purulent areas of the skin.
Make lotions using cranberries.
Carrots rubbed on a grater are applied to festering small wounds.
1 st. a spoonful of horsetail is brewed in a glass of boiling water, kept for 30 minutes, then filtered and a compress is made.
Perfectly draws pus powder obtained from the roots of marsh calamus.
Dried and crushed nettle stalks are able to draw out pus too.
Moisten gauze with Kalanchoe or wormwood juice, apply it along the boundaries of the injury. You can buy Kalanchoe ointment at a pharmacy and use it according to the instructions.

You can also grate onions on a fine grater, put on the damage for two hours, then remove, rinse the wound with cool boiled water. Perform the procedure twice a day.

An excellent remedy that draws out pus is a strong brew of black tea.
Fights the formation of pus powder obtained from birch charcoal.
Black radish juice is well suited for washing and getting rid of purulent formations, which need to irrigate the wound twice a day.
It is necessary to bake several cloves of garlic, grind them, apply the resulting mass with pronounced bactericidal properties to the wound, previously treated with iodine 2 times a day.

You can just take a raw yolk from a chicken egg, mix with 1 tbsp. spoon of natural honey, 1 tbsp. a spoonful of unsalted butter, flour. Knead the dough until medium density is formed, roll out the shape of the cake and attach it to the sore purulent place, fix it with bandages. Change three times a day. Determine the test mass for storage in the refrigerator. The pus usually comes out after 1 day. But it is better to apply the cake for three days, until the wound begins to heal.

The first thing to do when receiving a purulent wound is to ensure that the pus comes out.

This is what the surgeon will do: he will open the wound, clean it, remove dead tissue. You should immediately call a doctor if pus with blisters has come out of the wound, body temperature has risen, nausea has appeared, and the heartbeat has become more frequent.

Not removed in time, pus from the wound causes inflammation. Self-medication is permissible only as a measure of help for small wounds, before a visit to the doctor. Serious purulent skin lesions should be examined by a specialist and appropriate treatment should be prescribed, since prolonged exposure to pus in the wound can lead to blood poisoning.

The biological product of inflammation - pus - occurs as a result of a natural defensive reaction of a living organism to the invasion of microbes. What color it will be depends on the species diversity of pathogenic microflora. The formation and accumulation of exudate (a fluid that has been released into tissues or body cavities from small vessels during inflammation) is characterized by purulent wounds, skin bacterial infections, diseases of the gums and hair follicles. We will try to figure out how to remove pus, get rid of inflammation and prevent its serious complications.

Pus as an indicator of infection

The pyogenic role is played mainly by bacteria, fungi and protozoa. The invasion of infection into the tissues provokes inflammation, pus is formed - a liquid containing protein molecules, dead leukocytes and bacteria. Microbes are involved in the formation of exudate of a viscous or liquid consistency, depending on the stage of inflammation.

6 most important changes in purulent inflammation of a closed wound or pimple:

After getting into the tissues of the infection, the blood supply to the affected area increases.
Neutrophilic leukocytes leave the capillaries and attack microbes that have entered the tissues
Causative agents of purulent inflammation and leukocytes accumulate - living and dead
Tissue melting, pus formation
Removal of decomposition products from the focus
Tissue regeneration at the site of injury.

What color pus is released - yellowish-green or dirty gray - depends on the type of affected tissues and the characteristics of the pathogen. The predominant type of microorganism also influences the smell. The yellow color at the initial stage of inflammation is due to the appearance of drops of fat and glycogen.

A clear liquid is formed at the beginning of the infectious process, turbidity, a change in color and viscosity occurs during tissue repair.

Examples of the most popular purulent formations and diseases (there are more than 50 of them):

Pyoderma is a skin disease caused by the introduction of pyogenic microbes.
Furuncle - an inflammatory disease of the hair follicle
Pustule - a vesicle with pus, an element of acne (acne)
Hidradenitis - purulent inflammation of the sweat glands
Panaritium - acute purulent inflammation of the fingers
An abscess is a collection of pus in tissues.

The vulnerability of human skin to pyogenic bacteria increases during the period of hormonal changes in adolescents and pregnant women. In order to better draw out pus from a boil or get rid of a pimple, it is not enough to use only ointment, you need to take care of normalizing the endocrine system and strengthening immunity, because acne increases with fluctuations in the level of sex hormones, the growth of propionobacteria and stress.

Treatment of purulent wounds

Thanks to the inflammatory reaction, the fight against infection begins, so the body tries to get rid of foreign proteins. Unfortunately, spreading in the tissues, pus expands the pathological focus. Once in the bloodstream, microbes and toxins cause sepsis (blood poisoning). Helps to avoid serious complications ointment, pulling pus.

The use of external preparations ensures the outflow of exudate and prevents further suppuration.

The effect of using the ointment for inflammation and pus:

local anesthetic
anti-inflammatory
local annoying
Antimicrobial
Disinfectant
Antiseptic
Regenerating
Softening.

How to get rid of purulent acne, so that after healing, not to suffer with the removal of scars and age spots, not everyone knows.

However, there are several proven ways to carry out the treatment correctly.

Appearance mechanism

The basis of the mechanism of formation of purulent acne on the face or body is the malfunction of the sebaceous glands.

The production of an excess amount of fatty secretion leads to blockage of the excretory ducts. These are open or closed comedones - or white dots.

When bacteria that constantly live on the surface of the integument get inside, tissue infection begins. As a result, purulent contents are formed. Such a pimple is usually painful.

There are several types of such rashes, depending on the severity:

papules– small rounded elevations on the surface of the integuments;
pustules- balls of red color, filled with pus;
nodes- purulent cavities deep in the skin;
cysts- large, merged into conglomerates, purulent formations of a reddish-bluish hue.

The reasons

Before getting rid of purulent acne on the face or other areas of the skin, it is necessary to find out their appearance.

After all, if they are not eliminated in time, then the skin condition can only worsen.

The most frequent of them are the following:

increased work of the sebaceous and sweat glands and excessive secretion of fat;
hyperkeratosis - increased formation of the stratum corneum of the epidermis, the unexfoliated scales of which overlap the pores;
prolonged use of antibiotics, steroids, contraceptives leads to hormonal imbalance in the body;
changes in hormonal levels during adolescence, in women during menstruation, pregnancy, after childbirth or abortion, during menopause;
diseases of the digestive system, genitourinary or endocrine system;
bad habits;
unbalanced;
poor skin care;
cosmetics not suitable for skin type;
fever and increased sweating;
hypothermia;
damage to the integument and infection in them;
frequent touching of the face with hands, rubbing, scratching;
avitaminosis.

Places of localization

Most often, rashes can be found on the chin, forehead, nose, as in the T-zone there are a large number of sebaceous glands. It happens that pus accumulates in the deep layers of the dermis. Such acne is called subcutaneous. Superficial rashes have a white head surrounded by a red rim. It is easier to treat them, since pus, after exposure to medicines or natural remedies, easily comes out on its own.
Purulent acne can pop up even on the head. This happens due to a reaction, for example, to hair dye. But more often, regular shampoo becomes the culprit if it is poorly washed off. It contains sodium lauryl sulfate, a comedogenic substance that clogs pores.
Rashes on the pope- the result of hypothermia and colds. To prevent their appearance, you should not wear light underwear or thin tights in cold weather.
On the neck, shoulders or back acne is formed from hormonal imbalance, wearing synthetic clothing, lack of vitamins in the body, after alcohol abuse or systematic overload of the gastrointestinal tract.

Folliculitis and furuncle

Due to changes in the pH of the skin, excessive sweating, excessive moisture, folliculitis occurs - inflammation of the hair follicles.

Photo: scalp folliculitis

It is easy to injure the follicles at the time when the hairs break out inaccurately or in the wrong direction. Then boils appear, or on the legs.

They look like large white or yellow pustules with a red base and a black dot in the center.
The skin around them is swollen, body temperature may rise.

Boils reach impressive sizes - up to 10 cm in diameter.

But such formations need treatment by an experienced surgeon. They are often opened, drainage is installed for the outflow of exudate, and systemic antibiotic therapy is required.

What to do if appeared on the face of a child

In no case do not press, do not treat with alcohol or acid products. On delicate skin, they can cause severe burns, after which noticeable traces will remain.
The child must be examined by a doctor, since purulent acne can be a sign of a serious bacterial infection (for example, staphylococcal vesiculopustulosis - inflammation of the sweat glands).

Photo: if there is a rash in the child's mouth, you should urgently show it to the doctor

It is especially dangerous when there are rashes in the ear, or on the nasal mucosa.

If the disease is not treated, then the condition of the skin will only worsen.

Aloe and Vishnevsky's ointment are considered the safest means of urgent therapy, since they cannot harm the integument.

However, if the baby has a fever, no appetite, and other alarming symptoms are observed, then you should immediately run to the pediatrician.

It is important to follow the rules of hygiene:

in the morning and before going to bed, wash the child's face with warm water;
regularly do wet cleaning in the room, ventilate;
make sure that the air temperature in the room does not exceed 22 ° C, and humidity - 80%;
A mother who is breastfeeding a baby should monitor her diet.

Is it possible to extrude
