Acute purulent inflammation of the tissues on the finger is called "panaritium". An abscess develops when pyogenic microbes enter through damaged skin or mucous membranes into the body. This leads to a limited accumulation of pus in the tissues. In some cases, an abscess on the finger can be a complication of a number of diseases. The development of a purulent inflamed cavity sometimes leads to an inflammatory process in the lymphatic vessels. This is expressed in the appearance of red painful stripes on the skin and an increase in the size of neighboring lymph nodes.
When a focal point of the disease appears, it is first worthwhile to ensure the peace of that limb on which there is an abscess on the finger. Treatment should be prescribed by a doctor. However, some actions can be taken independently. Do not put pressure on the abscess, rub it and massage, as this can lead to the further spread of the inflammatory process and sepsis.
Treatment of abscesses is, first of all, carried out operatively and with the use of anti-inflammatory, antibacterial therapy. This allows you to fully open the focus and conduct a thorough reorganization. Surgery is performed using local anesthesia and takes an average of 10-40 minutes. In exceptional cases, intravenous sedation is used to completely relax and calm the patient. After this, two dressings are carried out, and then once a day until the area where there is an abscess is completely cleansed. Treatment in the future consists in the use of antibacterial, anti-inflammatory ointments.
However, in some cases, it is sufficient to use traditional medicine to combat such a problem as an abscess on the finger. Treatment in this case consists in disinfection and in taking measures for a full outflow of pus.
Initially, you should make a soda bath. To do this, two teaspoons of soda and a few drops of iodine are added to a glass of warm water. We put a sick finger in the water. Keep it in such a solution should be about five minutes. After carrying out activities that have a disinfecting effect on the abscess on the finger, the treatment will consist in the application of various
herbs, infusions, ointments.
Various sources suggest the following measures to eliminate the focus of inflammation on the finger.
For faster maturation of the abscess, grind the onion and laundry soap in a 2: 1 ratio. Then, using a sterile bandage and a patch, you need to fix the resulting slurry in a sore spot. Change the dressing once a day.
Powder from a mollusk shell opens well abscesses. In addition, a cake of honey and white flour will also allow to open an abscess on the finger. Treatment helps to cope with the focus of inflammation in ten hours.
However, it is worth remembering that treatment at home, without medical intervention, can lead to various complications. Therefore, the use of folk remedies is permissible only at the initial stage of the inflammatory process. In the event that there are suspicions of panaritium, only a timely visit to the surgeon can provide good results. Moreover, when referring to it in the early stages, it is often possible to get along with adequate anti-inflammatory therapy.
