Incision of abscess in Cherkasy

Abscess or abscessus is the process of forming a cavity filled with pus due to inflammation. It can occur in the setting of purulent damage to internal organs (muscle fiber, etc.), skin or subcutaneous tissue (carbuncle, lymphadenitis, etc.) or may be associated with other diseases (tonsillitis, pneumonia, diabetes mellitus). The penetration of pathogenic microorganisms through skin lesions, even during injection, can cause pathology: a capsule filled with pus is formed.

The main causative agents of the pathological process are:

• in the upper half of the body (abscess in the armpits, on the face or chest) – Staphylococcus aureus;
• в  the lower half of the body (on the inner surface of the thigh, on the buttocks and genitals) – Proteus mirabilis;
• throughout the body – E. coli.

In most cases, immunity suppresses the activity of these microorganisms and prevents their uncontrolled reproduction, but a decrease in protective resources or advanced dysbiosis can cause the spread of the infectious process.

Among the complications caused by abscess ignoring are the following:

• bursting into internal isolated cavities (articular bag, abdominal membrane, etc.);
• bursting in internal organs (intestines, bladder, etc.);
• fistula formation;
• recrudescence.

Abscess occurs on the skin with a painful large induration (up to 3-4 cm) with redness and local hyperemia, which softens after a few days, and a white or yellowish spot forms in its center. When an abscess is lanced, the thinned skin is torn, and the pus comes out. If this does not happen, you need to seek help from a doctor.

How to treat and remove skin abscessus?

Treatment of abscess considers mainly surgical measures and in most cases minimally invasive surgery. Lancing of small abscess is performed under local anesthesia and on an outpatient basis. The success of the treatment is largely determined by timely diagnostics, since some causative agents of the purulent process are insensitive to broad-spectrum antibiotics. Therefore, to stop the growth of a pathogenic colony and suppress its activity, it is necessary to use a specific type of medicine for microorganisms.

The procedure involves lancing, evacuation of the contents, local application of antiseptic in the cavity and drainage system installation. The full recovery period is about 10-14 days, during which you need to follow all doctor’s recommendations on wound care, as well as do dressings.
