"How is a skin boil treated?"

Boils can be treated with antibiotics, which can cause great damage to the skin and lead to the appearance of small nodules. If timely treatment measures are not taken, it will increase the difficulty of treatment. If the boil is large, it needs to be treated surgically. Most of these diseases are caused by bacterial infections. Here are the treatments:

1. Systemic Antimicrobial Therapy

If boils occur on the face, systemic antimicrobial therapy should be emphasized. Generally, pus is taken from the head of the pustule for bacterial culture, which helps doctors select appropriate antibiotic drugs. Patients suspected of having sepsis should undergo repeated blood bacterial cultures to adjust drug dosage. If necessary, combined drug therapy can be used, which has very significant effects. During medication, be wary of adverse reactions and deal with severe cases promptly.

2. Local Treatment

Local treatment is mainly conservative, avoiding damage after onset. Remember not to squeeze or prick. If necessary, hot compress treatment can be performed, and carbolic acid or silver nitrate can be used for cauterization to prevent the spread of infection. For patients with lip abscesses, pay attention to limiting lip movements, such as speaking and chewing. During meals, tube feeding or nasal feeding can be used to ensure adequate nutrition intake.

3. Sesame Oil Treatment for Boils

Everyone knows sesame oil, but not many people know that it can treat boils. This is a treatment method passed down by the elderly. Place a spoonful of sesame oil in an aluminum spoon and roast it over the fire. After it cools down, apply the sesame oil to the affected area every morning and evening. If conditions permit, you can also apply it once during the noon. The more often you apply it, the faster it will heal. Generally, after applying sesame oil for about 3 days, the boil will show significant improvement. One spoonful of sesame oil can last for a long time.
