”The boils are very common, and many people have had them. The actual boils can be a great deal more than just the boils, but they can also be a great deal more than just the boils. How does it feel to have a “boil” around the buttocks? A boil is a large, red swelling that forms when a hair follicle is infected with bacteria. Boils tend to occur in areas of the body that are under pressure, such as the neck collar or buttocks. Boils often have a sharp, throbbing pain as they form, especially if they grow on areas with dense skin tissue and high tension, such as the forehead or jaw. Usually after a day or two, a pus tether will form in the center of the red swelling and will break on its own after two or three days. There are also boils that may disappear on their own without breaking down. Although boils are not a serious disease, if you do not treat the boils that have grown in time, they will not only be painful, but they will also cause infection in the surrounding skin, and more boils will grow. Do you know the difference between a real and a fake perianal boil? It is difficult to distinguish between a hip boil and a perianal abscess in the eyes of ordinary patients, and many patients choose to squeeze the boil on their own instead of seeking medical attention in time, and repeatedly apply iodophor and erythromycin, which can neither make the boil go down nor aggravate the condition. “The reason for this is that it is not a good idea to use iodophor or erythromycin, but a good idea to use it repeatedly. False “fire boils” are perianal abscesses, which are acute purulent infections in the soft tissues around the anal canal and rectum or in the interstitial space around them, characterized by self-rupture, or often forming anal fistulas after surgical incision and drainage. Clinical differentiation: 1. Peri-anorectal abscess: Mostly from inflammation of the anal sinus, spreading to the perianal rectum along the anal gland duct. The onset of the disease is rapid and painful, accompanied by systemic symptoms, and the abscess spreads easily and is prone to form anal fistula after rupture. 2, hip boils: lesions in the perianal subcutaneous, hip boils for the skin superficial acute purulent disease, its characteristics are red, burning, pain, protruding lesions shallow, swelling potential is limited, the scope of about 3 cm, the center of the swelling and hair follicle opening is consistent, the central pus plugs and anal sinus is not related, most self-break, septic healing, generally no systemic symptoms, no sequelae anal fistula. How to prevent perianal “fire boils”? First of all, we should pay attention to the cleanliness of the skin, and secondly, we should avoid breaking the skin, especially to protect the hard collar, belt and other skin vulnerable areas. Do not scratch the skin after being bitten by mosquitoes and insects, otherwise the boils are most likely to be caused by bacterial invasion. Treat pruritic skin diseases such as eczema, prickly heat and ringworm in a timely manner. When bathing, do not use alkaline soap to avoid damaging the weak acidic environment of the skin surface and reducing its natural ability to fight disease. Once again, it is better to eat a light diet, not to eat greasy and spicy foods, and to take oral Chinese medicine under the guidance of a doctor to remove the “fire poison” from the body. After understanding how to get a fire boil on the buttocks, medication is a good choice to improve a fire boil on the buttocks, which can help alleviate the problem, but it is also important to pay attention to the hygiene of the buttocks to wash it every day, which can also help treat the fire boil. Treatment of “fire boils”: If a perianal “fire boil” is coming out, apply magnesium sulfate ointment to the surface of the boil and cover it with adhesive tape to speed up the breakage and healing of the boil. Once the boil has broken, carefully wipe away the pus with a cotton pad soaked in antibacterial solution, and then cover the affected area with adhesive tape. Do not poke the boil or squeeze it, as this may cause the infection to spread. If the boil does not heal within 2 weeks, or if it becomes larger or more painful, or if it recurs, seek medical attention. If the boil is large or the infection worsens you need to go to a regular hospital to have an incision to drain the pus and apply antibiotics after the procedure to eliminate the infection. If you don’t pay attention to the change of the disease, if you scratch and squeeze the boil, the bacteria and pus in the boil will be squeezed into the bloodstream, which can cause bacteremia, sepsis or septicemia, and then induce glomerulonephritis, which is a big problem for a small boil.
