Suppuration of a cut, an abscess, a furuncle - rarely anyone managed to never encounter such phenomena in their life, the cause of which can even be a microtrauma. A common practice is the treatment of suppuration by surgery, and purulent surgery is one of the most ancient medical practices. At the same time, folk remedies for abscesses can quickly heal small wounds at home, they can even save a human life if medical help is not available. It should be noted that this applies only to subcutaneous inflammation - the internal purulent process requires urgent surgical intervention.

What is an abscess?

The formation of a subcutaneous abscess occurs as follows:

Due to a violation of the integrity of the skin, an infection enters the body, primarily staphylococcal.
A capsule is formed at the site of infection, preventing further infection of the tissues. This manifests itself in the form of hardening, redness, soreness.
Exudate accumulates inside the capsule, formed by dead microorganisms, leukocytes and destroyed tissues.
After about a week, the formed pus breaks through the capsule and comes out. The process of scarring of the wound and tissue repair begins.

However, if the suppuration is located deep, and the wound channel was narrow, pus can penetrate deep into the tissues. This leads to sepsis, the treatment of which is long, serious and not always successful.

That is why medicine is often guided by the rule: "you see pus - immediately open it." The capsule is opened under local or general anesthesia, after which the wound is cleaned and sanitized, drainage is installed to drain the exudate and a sterile dressing is applied, which changes during regular examination. After the inflammation stops, the drainage must be removed and drugs that promote skin healing should be applied. Such treatment is the most radical and successful. However, a small suppuration located near the surface of the skin can be cured at home, especially if obtaining surgical care is difficult.

Pharmaceuticals

It must be remembered that any damage to the skin, except for that caused by a sterile instrument, is associated with infection. Therefore, if there are signs of suppuration and inflammation, it is necessary to prevent the closure of the wound by constantly moistening it with hydrogen peroxide or simply salt water. In order to cope with the infection and draw out the pus, there are many effective medications. Almost all of them are available in any pharmacy and are affordable. At home, you can treat an abscess with drugs such as:

Ointment Vishnevsky (balsamic liniment).
Ichthyol ointment.
Levomekol.
Streptocid ointment.
Synthomycin ointment, etc.

Before applying the ointment, you need to treat the surface of the skin with hydrogen peroxide or furatsilin, and after applying the ointment, cover it with a clean bandage. Change the ointment and bandage according to the instructions for use of this tool.

For centuries, most people had to treat suppuration on their own, so among folk remedies there are many of those whose effectiveness has been proven by time. It is important that many of them (onions, garlic, cabbage, honey, etc.) are common foods, which allows you to treat an abscess without spending time and effort. The most accessible means to draw out pus "away from civilization" are:

At home, you can also apply to an abscess:

fresh cabbage leaf;
grated onion, better mixed with honey;
grated carrots, potatoes or beets;
the pulp of a leaf of aloe or Kalanchoe;
crushed cranberries.

The therapeutic application of these funds must be changed as it dries, it can be worn constantly. The beneficial substances contained in these plants will help draw out pus, relieve inflammation and accelerate the recovery of damaged tissues. To avoid skin burns, onions are applied in the morning and evening for no more than two hours, then washed off with water. A milder effect has a baked or boiled onion. Roasted garlic also draws out pus well.

Homemade ointment for boils

To prepare homemade anti-inflammatory ointment, you need to mix raw egg yolk with honey and butter (a tablespoon each) and add flour (even better - cosmetic clay) to this mixture so that you get a soft dough that needs to be stored in the refrigerator. A lozenge of this mixture should be applied to the wound and changed three times a day, continuing the treatment after the wound begins to clear.

If an internal abscess is located on the finger, especially under the nail, it should be periodically steamed in hot water, to which salt, soda, and alcohol tincture of calendula are added (a teaspoon per glass).

How to remove pus from a wound: pharmacy ointments and folk remedies

Damage to the skin is a fairly common occurrence. Upon receipt of such an injury, it is recommended to immediately treat the wound with antiseptic preparations: hydrogen peroxide, chlorhexidine, furacilin. If the infection continues to progress and pus accumulates in the wound, then pharmaceutical and folk remedies that can draw out exudate are used. Both medical and natural medicines quite successfully eliminate an abscess, disinfect and accelerate the healing of skin lesions, so it is up to everyone to decide what is better for drawing out pus and what is more convenient to use.

However, you need to understand that such tools are used to eliminate small external and subcutaneous injuries. With an extensive abscess of the skin, the treatment is carried out by a doctor. It is difficult to cope with complex wounds using only external preparations. Patients in serious condition require complex therapy, and sometimes surgical treatment.

The mechanism of formation of a skin abscess (abscess)

Bacteria, fungi and protozoa cause infection. When the infection invades the epithelial tissues, an inflammatory process develops and an exudate with pus is formed. It contains protein molecules, destroyed leukocytes and macrophages (immune cells that detect and neutralize foreign bodies), dead pathogens.

The state of the exudate is affected by the stage of the inflammatory process. At the beginning of infection, it is liquid and transparent. With the progression of the infection, the substance becomes viscous, it contains purulent inclusions, an unpleasant odor appears. The color of pus is greenish-yellow or dirty gray. Purulent discharge acquires yellow shades at the beginning of inflammation, as well as when fat and glycogen enter the exudate.

Changes occurring in a closed wound:

With inflammation in the lesion, blood flow increases.
Leukocytes penetrate from the capillaries, move into the wound and destroy harmful microorganisms.
Immune cells accumulate in the focus of damage. They produce enzymes that kill pathogens and neutralize foreign bodies. Macrophages, having performed the functions assigned to them, die.
In the wound, an accumulation of surviving and dead pathogens, leukocytes and macrophages is formed, which leads to the appearance of pus.
The tissues are melted under the influence of pus.
The wound opens, purulent contents flow out of it (the process of maturation of the abscess lasts seven days).
The final stage of an abscess is the regeneration of damaged tissues, the tightening of the wound with the formation of a flat surface or scar.

The purulent substance does not always come out of the abscess on its own. If pus accumulates in the deep tissues, and the wound fistula is too narrow, the exudate penetrates into the lower layers. In this situation, a severe skin abscess develops, turning into sepsis, a life-threatening complication that requires serious medical intervention.

At the beginning of the development of inflammation and with a small focus, an abscess is treated with folk remedies and local medicines. In severe cases of infection and deep wounds, seek the help of a doctor.

How to pull pus out of a wound at home?

Few people have ever experienced the appearance of a purulent wound or boil on the body. This could have been caused not only by an injury caused by something non-sterile, but even by a banal shave, careless touching of the cuticle near the nail, or any microtrauma. In an increased risk group are people with impaired metabolism, reduced immunity and excessive oily skin. In serious cases, the help of a surgeon is mandatory, but sometimes pus can be removed from the wound at home.

Self-medication is permissible only in very harmless cases. If the wound or boil increases, the pus is deep in them, the problem is accompanied by a constant increase in temperature, then you should definitely consult a doctor. It is necessary to open surgically and establish drainage (devices that prevent the wound from completely tightening, contributing to the outflow of pus). If you delay this, waiting for the pus to come out, then in the end you can even get blood poisoning. This is already fraught with bad consequences.

In the wound into which the infection has entered, after a certain period of time, pus begins to form, which is a protective reaction of the body. Foreign bodies and micro-organisms such as wood particles, metal chips, fabric fibers, etc. the body perceives as a foreign substance that needs to be neutralized. To this end, the blood flow to the damaged area increases, which contains a significant number of white blood cells - leukocytes. Along with this, local immunity is activated, and a lot of immune cells - macrophages - arrive at the wound. Macrophages devour foreign bodies, neutralize them with the help of special enzymes, but subsequently die themselves. Thus, the process of suppuration takes place.

In the early stages, with shallow wounds, pus can be pulled out at home. But in severe cases, you need to see a doctor.

Folk remedies that draw pus from a wound

First of all, purulent wounds need to be washed and cleaned. For this, therapeutic baths and lotions are used. They are made from many types of plants such as:

plantain;
beet;
onion;
alder;
lilac leaves;
burdock;
pomace and radish juice;
sweet clover;
carrot;
blueberry leaves;
sage;
chamomile.

To obtain a decoction, you need to take one tablespoon of crushed vegetable raw materials, add one liter of boiled water and cook in a water bath for 15 minutes over low heat. After cooling, place the place with the wound in the bath for half an hour. Repeat the procedure daily 2-3 times.

After cleansing and disinfection, procedures are performed to create an outflow of pus from the wound. The following folk remedies will help draw pus out of the wound.

Garlic-soap compress. A garlic-soap compress will help to draw out pus from a closed wound. To prepare it, the head of garlic is baked in the oven.

Xeroform dries wounds well. Castor oil promotes wound healing and has an anti-inflammatory effect. Tar is considered a good natural antiseptic.

Due to the large number of medicinal properties, Vishnevsky's ointment is used in many situations, so its presence in the home medicine cabinet is very desirable.

Method of application for suppuration of the wound. If suppuration is detected, it is necessary to take a piece of medical gauze folded in several layers and apply Vishnevsky ointment to it. Apply this bandage to the affected area and secure with a bandage. After 12 hours, remove, remove the remnants of the ointment with a napkin, treat the area around the wound with alcohol and put a new bandage with ointment.

Ichthyol ointment is a good antiseptic. She, like Vishnevsky's ointment, has a good price / quality ratio. In its composition, ichthyol ointment contains a significant amount of sulfur, which determines its cleansing and softening properties. It is indispensable for purulent processes, as it effectively draws pus from closed wounds. The ointment is applied to a gauze napkin, applied to the wound and left overnight. The only contraindication to use is individual intolerance.

Levosin ointment also refers to inexpensive remedies for pulling pus from wounds, which doctors recommend using at home. It is a combination drug that has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and necrolytic properties.

The ointment is applied to sterile wipes and applied to the wound. Dressings with ointment are done every day until the wound heals.

Other ointments are also used to draw pus from a closed wound:

Tetracycline;
Gentamicin;
Methyluracil;
Solcoseryl;
Levonorsin;
Actovegin.

Most of these ointments are quite affordable. Of course, if everything goes well, then almost the entire tube will remain intact and will not be useful soon. But it's better that it is.

How can you draw pus out of a wound?

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 - is applied to accelerate the maturation of pus, since 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.

An abscess, also known as a skin abscess or boil, is a painful, pus-filled bump that develops on the surface of the skin. An abscess can be as small as a pea or as large as a golf ball; it can occur on any part of the body. Most often, an abscess is provoked by an infection in the hair follicles or skin sebaceous glands. Although boils are often quite painful and unattractive, this is not such a serious problem, and you can treat it quite effectively at home.

Steps

Part 1

Treatment of an abscess

Wash the leaked boil with antibacterial soap. When the abscess begins to leak out, it is very important to keep the skin clean. Wash the boil thoroughly with antibacterial soap and warm water until the pus drains. After everything has drained out, wipe the abscess dry with a clean towel or paper napkins; immediately after this, throw away what you wiped with to prevent the spread of infection.

Apply antibacterial cream and cover the boil. Next, you need to apply an antibacterial cream or ointment and cover the area with gauze. The gauze will allow the boil to continue to leak out and dry out, so the dressing will need to be changed frequently. Antibacterial creams and ointments are designed specifically to treat boils and are available without a prescription at your local pharmacy.

Keep doing hot compresses until the boil is completely healed. Once the abscess has started to leak, you should continue to apply hot compresses, clean the site of inflammation and cover it until the boil is completely healed. As long as you conscientiously keep the boil clean, you should have no difficulty, and the boil should go away within a week or two.

Remember to wash your hands with antibacterial soap before and after handling a boil to avoid spreading the infection.

See your doctor if the boil doesn't break within two weeks, or if it shows signs of infection. In some cases (based on the size, location, and presence of the infection), medical intervention may be required to treat an abscess. The doctor will have to pierce the abscess in his office or in the surgical department. This situation may be due to the presence of several purulent sacs in the abscess, or the fact that the boil is located in a sensitive place like the nasal or ear canal. If the skin around the boil is infected, you may be given an injection of antibiotics or given oral antibiotics. Situations in which you should seek medical help include:

Maintain good hygiene. Good hygiene is probably the most important thing if you want to prevent an abscess. Since breakouts are usually caused by bacteria in the hair follicles, it is important to wash the surface of the skin daily. Regular soap will work, but if you're prone to breakouts, it's best to replace it with antibacterial soap.
- You can also use an abrasive brush or loofah (such as a loofah) to scrub the skin. This will prevent sebum from clogging around the hair follicles.
Clean any cuts or sores - immediately and thoroughly. Bacteria can easily enter the body through wounds and cuts. It can go down from the hair follicles, where infection occurs, and cause an abscess. To avoid this, remember to clean even the smallest cuts or scrapes with antibacterial soap, apply a cream or ointment, and cover with a bandage or band-aid until fully healed.

Avoid prolonged sitting in one place. Sores that develop in the folds between the buttocks (also known as "pilonidal cysts") are usually the result of prolonged pressure caused by sitting in one place for a long time. Often they occur in truckers and people who spend a lot of time on long flights. If possible, reduce the load by taking frequent breaks and stretching your legs.

Using Home Remedies

Keep in mind that home remedies may or may not help. You can try folk remedies to get rid of boils, but they may be useless, and doctors do not recommend them. It is unlikely that any of these remedies can harm you, but be prepared for the fact that you still have to turn to official medicine.

Every person at least once in his life is faced with such an unpleasant problem as purulent acne on the face. The mechanism of their occurrence is quite simple - the pores are clogged with sebum, which is secreted by the sebaceous glands, as a result of which an inflammatory process begins, followed by suppuration. Both dermatologists and cosmetologists are involved in the treatment of acne, while some prefer to look for recipes on the Internet and get rid of acne using folk methods. The most effective results are achieved primarily by those who turn to specialists. Self-medication most often only exacerbates the problem.

Causes of ulcers on the face

The most common causes of purulent pimples on the face is improper skin care, primarily insufficient from excess fat. There are also a number of other causes that cause acne, rashes and pimples on the face:

Squeezing out acne - cosmetologists and dermatologists warn that even the most “terrible” abscesses cannot be squeezed out, this can only complicate the situation and cause more severe inflammation. Even if the pimple was squeezed out correctly, and the wound healed quickly, the skin will most likely remain a scar. If, after squeezing, pus remains inside, the infection spreads to nearby pores and causes even more severe inflammation.
An unbalanced diet and the abuse of fatty foods can cause diseases of the digestive tract, which, in turn, provokes skin problems.
Hormonal imbalance during pregnancy or lactation, menopause or menstruation is often the cause of ulcers on the back, face, chest and neck. Hyperactivity of hormones in school-age children is almost always accompanied by acne and purulent pimples. It is in the puberty period that both girls and boys undergo a restructuring of the body, as a result of which problems with the skin of the face most often arise.
Improper care - the appearance of a rash and purulent acne can be caused by poor-quality cleaning of the skin - you should not often touch your face with your hands so as not to transfer bacteria and microbes to the skin, which can aggravate the problem. It is very important to observe personal hygiene when applying cosmetics - you can not use other people's brushes, brushes and powder puffs.
Stress and disorders of the nervous system. Excessive excitement and stressful situations can reduce the body's resistance to disease and inflammation, leading to the formation of ulcers.
A pathology called hyperkeratosis is a process of accelerated cell division, causing keratinization and excessive peeling of the skin. Subcutaneous fat is collected in the pores, which, together with particles of dead cells, creates a favorable environment for the reproduction of bacteria and subsequent suppuration. Hyperkeratosis can be caused by an excess or lack of vitamins, as well as circulatory disorders.
The use of cosmetics that do not suit you can cause inflammation on the skin, up to the appearance of ulcers.
Frequent use of antibiotics and steroids almost always causes inflammation of the skin (drug acne).

Regardless of what exactly caused the appearance of acne, you need to immediately begin their treatment. Not everyone knows how to quickly cure various types of inflammation on the skin and get rid of age spots and scars, so we offer proven methods for the proper treatment of purulent acne on the face and body.

Drug treatment of purulent acne

The safest and most affordable pharmacy remedy is Vishnevsky's Ointment. Despite the pungent odor, it quickly and effectively draws out purulent contents even from large abscesses. How to use: A small amount of ointment is applied to a previously prepared sterile napkin or bandage (based on the ointment to completely cover the pimple) and apply it to the inflamed area. Cover with plastic wrap on top and fix the bandage with an ordinary adhesive plaster.
Other most common pharmaceuticals that relieve inflammation and prevent the growth of bacteria include zinc, ichthyol, salicylic and synthomycin ointments.
Perfectly dry the skin and help in the treatment of acne drugs such as Levomekol, Metrogyl and Erythromycin.

An ordinary aspirin tablet, dissolved in a small amount of water, will quickly relieve inflammation on the skin - for this, the mixture should be applied to single abscesses. Pimples located on the back, neck, or other parts of the body, except for the face, can be lubricated with iodine daily for 5-6 days. Iodine is applied pointwise, directly on the abscess, it should be avoided getting on healthy skin areas.

How acne is treated in beauty parlors

Cosmetologists in specialized clinics prescribe the following types of treatment procedures:

Regular (mechanical) facial cleansing, which is performed manually by the cosmetologist himself, using a sterile instrument. As a result of the manipulations, the pores are cleared of plugs, pus is removed. The procedure ends with the application of a special healing ointment to the skin.
Treatment with ultrasound reduces the inflammatory process, tightens pores, improves blood circulation in the affected areas of the skin.
Cryotherapy (dry ice and liquid nitrogen are used to perform the procedures).
Professional masks with algae, clay and aromatic oils are used for additional skin nutrition and cell regeneration.
Chemical peeling is used to remove dead skin layers of the epidermis, and also stimulates the growth of new skin cells.

The liquid should be hot, the head should be covered with a towel, the duration of the procedure is about 10 minutes. In order to prepare the whole body for the procedures, take a bath with sea salt.

How to prevent acne

Anyone who has already faced the problem of purulent acne once knows that their appearance is easier to prevent than to cure. Therefore, you need to carefully monitor the condition of the skin, regularly clean the face and use antibacterial soap for washing. Cosmetologists also recommend eating right and leading a healthy lifestyle.

Owners of oily skin for prevention can use a mask to normalize the sebaceous glands. To do this, combine oatmeal, previously ground in a coffee grinder, with one tablespoon (tablespoon) of lemon juice, and also add a mixture of beaten egg white and one tablet of streptocide. The mask is applied to the face, the duration of the procedure does not exceed 20 minutes.
An excellent natural antiseptic is tar soap, it has long been used to wash the face, this remedy is especially recommended for those who have skin problems.
For a general strengthening of immunity, it is recommended to take a drink prepared in the following way: take two tablespoons of dry nettle for 300 ml of boiling water, leave for at least two hours, take before meals (10 minutes), three times a day.

It is impossible to cure purulent acne in a few days. Subcutaneous inflammation does not resolve quickly, in order for the abscess to break through, it will take at least three days. Also, an important role in healing is played by the individual characteristics of the body to restore the skin. Beauticians say that it will take from one to three weeks for a complete cure.

Abrasions, minor cuts, wounds, scratches, injuries and bruises - we have to deal with all this throughout our lives. The situation is complicated by the fact that various microorganisms inevitably penetrate the wounds, and sometimes even foreign bodies.

All this contributes to the development of such a disease as panaritium, which manifests itself in acute purulent inflammation of the tissues on the fingers and toes. In order to prevent complications and the possible development of sepsis, it is necessary to start timely treatment.

How to treat suppuration of the wound at home?

Treatment of acute purulent inflammation (panaritium) at home comes down to steaming and applying effective means that promote the release of pus.

It is necessary to dissolve laundry soap in hot water in advance, and then lower the inflamed finger into the resulting solution for 30 minutes. Since the water cools quickly in the bowl, it is necessary to constantly add boiling water. Then finely grate the onion, attach it to the sore spot and fix it with a bandage. This procedure should be carried out several times a day, as well as at night.
An equally effective tool that helps in the fight against a purulent disease is a strong salt solution. The concentration of the substance should promote the formation of crystals. A sore finger should be steamed in a hot saline solution. To do this, it must be lowered into a container with contents for 30 minutes, not forgetting to constantly maintain the temperature of the solution. Then attach half an aloe leaf to it.

At home, it is possible only at the initial stage of the disease, when the purulent sac is not yet fully formed. Subsequent stages require specialized medical care, since neglected purulent inflammation can cause partial disability.

How to remove pus under the skin

If the affected finger pulsates and hurts, and the movements of the finger cause sharp pain, then this is a subcutaneous panaritium. For its rapid maturation, it is recommended to bake one medium onion in the oven, then cut it in half and attach it to the sore spot. Secure the bulb with a bandage. This bandage should be changed every 3-4 hours.
If the sore spot is very inflamed, then it is recommended to do the following: bake garlic in the oven, then grind it and add grated laundry soap. Of these components, I make a cake, which is tied to the finger with a bandage. After 3-4 hours, the compress is recommended to be changed to a new one.
If the affected part of the finger is too large and the panaritium itself is ripe, then in this case it is better to consult a surgeon. An experienced doctor will fix the hand to prevent it from moving, which can lead to increased pain and infection, and will also prescribe antibiotics. And when the pus finally “ripens”, it will release it outside. And before that, he will conduct UHF therapy, apply a balsamic dressing in the form of a warming compress.
There is another method: a tourniquet is applied to the forearm, and a medicinal mixture of novocaine and an antibiotic is injected into the dilated veins of the hand, which enters directly into the focus of the disease itself and thereby muffles the pain and causes the rapid death of pathogenic microorganisms.

How to pull pus out from under the nail

In order to draw out, you need to mix chamomile, plantain, sage and lilac leaves, add a little baking soda, then pour it all with a liter of water and put it on the stove. As soon as the broth boils, it must be removed from heat and cooled to 15 ° C. Then pour the contents into a basin and lower the sore arm or leg into it for 10 minutes.

To get rid of pus, you need to lift the nail with a spatula and press on the fingertip or on the nail itself. Pus will begin to gradually come out from the finger. At the end of the procedure, even if the pus has not yet completely come out, you need to attach half a leaf of aloe or plantain to the sore spot. After 12 hours, this procedure should be repeated again so that the pus comes out completely and the wound begins to heal.

Near the big toe with an ingrown toenail

An ingrown nail is an ingrowth of the lateral edge of the nail plate into adjacent soft tissues, which contributes to rubbing the skin along the nail and inflammation at the base. If a purulent sac has formed on a finger with an ingrown nail, this is a sure sign that a foreign body has entered the damaged area of the skin. The introduced infection can lead to subcutaneous panaritium. If the pus has not yet begun to accumulate, then you can do without surgical intervention, starting to quickly respond to the problem that has arisen.

To treat a problem nail, you can try hot foot baths with a small amount of potassium permanganate and baking soda. This procedure should be carried out 2-3 times a day for 10-20 minutes. However, if pus has already begun to accumulate in the wound, then it is impossible to steam the sore finger.

When the nail softens a little under the action of the hot solution, you can try to carefully cut off a piece of the ingrown plate. This procedure should be repeated until the nail is completely healed.

To treat a problem nail, you can use ointments that draw out pus. These are special remedies that prevent the development of a sore. The ointment should be put on a bandage and pressed tightly against the sore finger, wrap it all with simple polyethylene. Put a bandage on top again and put on a sock to fix this whole “construction”. This procedure is best done at night. In the morning, after removing the bandage, you can again try to cut the problem nail, and then apply the ointment again.

Suppuration on the finger after a blow

After an injury, first aid must be given to prevent the injury from growing. To do this, apply cold to the bruise. Bruises of small sizes can be treated at home, for this alcohol compresses. For this, vodka or alcohol are diluted in the same ratio. Gauze is wetted in this liquid, applied to the leg, after which a piece of polyethylene is wrapped with a warm scarf on top.

If the bruise is large and, moreover, suppuration has occurred, then in no case should one resort to self-treatment. To prevent unpleasant consequences, it is necessary to consult a doctor who, using a special drill or drill, will make a small hole in the nail, and then with the help of an esculapius, remove the clot and wash the damaged area under the nail. With late treatment and severe pain caused by a large accumulation of pus, the surgeon will have to remove the nail plate.

Treatment of wound suppuration with ointments

Suppuration of the wound can be treated with special ointments that contribute to the formation of the head of the boil - pustules. The formation of which leads to the fact that the abscess opens on its own, and the pus comes out. It is impossible to squeeze out a boil, since such actions can lead to the spread of infection. The list of pulling ointments includes:

Levomekol;
which is also an anesthetic.

A similar ointment can be prepared with your own hands. To do this, mix 1 tsp. turmeric powder with ½ tsp. ground ginger, add 1 tbsp. honey and a pinch of salt. The resulting ointment is placed on a piece of gauze, applied to a sore spot, and then covered with a film and two more layers of gauze on top.
