There is pus in the scar. Do you want to tear it open? Injuries are very common. Moreover, after repeated injuries, due to improper handling and inaccurate medication, the wound will fester, or fester after scabbing, and pus will flow out of the wound. Let's look at the pus in the scar. Do you want to tear it open?

There is pus in the scar. Do you want to tear it open? 1 scab and pus can't be removed. The main reasons are as follows:

First of all, suppuration is caused by Staphylococcus aureus infection. If you dig it out by hand, the bacteria on your hand will enter the blood through the infected surface. Mild infection will expand, and in severe cases you may have a high fever, even toxemia and bacteremia. Life can also be dangerous.

Second, if you pick it off by hand after scabbing and suppuration, it may lead to serious scarring of the skin. If patients with scar constitution have scar hyperplasia, it will affect their appearance, and pigmentation will take 3-6 months to subside.

In the case of scab and suppuration, it is best to go to the hospital to irradiate red light to relieve inflammation, itching and pain, and cooperate with Baiduobang ointment for external use. At the same time, antibiotics need to be taken orally or intravenously, and the medication needs to be determined according to the condition.

In general, if there is pus in the scar, don't tear it forcibly. If you tear it yourself, it may cause more serious infection, and it may leave scars when it heals later, which will affect the appearance. If it can't be absorbed after a period of observation or medication, the patient can go to the hospital and suck pus out of the scar in a sterile state to make the wound heal faster.

1. Infection: If pus is found in the scar and it tears by itself, the wound may be exposed to the air, and external pathogens may easily enter the wound to cause infection, which will prolong the recovery period. If the infection is serious, there will be symptoms of systemic infection, such as redness, pain, fever and so on. Even bacteremia and septicemia will pose a threat to patients' lives;

2, affecting the appearance: if the scab is forcibly torn off, it may increase the damaged area, and it is easier to leave pigmentation or scars in the local area after healing, which affects the appearance.

If the patient has pus in the scar, and the skin surface is red, swollen, hot and painful, he can go to the hospital for treatment, and then the doctor will suck the pus out or cut it open to discharge pus, and then wash it with sterile saline to control infection with antibiotics.

There is pus in the scar. Do you want to tear it? Whether the patient is accompanied by subcapsular suppuration should not be uncovered, depending on the severity of subcapsular suppuration and the patient's own healing ability.

First, if the patient's suppuration under the scab is very limited, the local skin does not appear red and swollen, and the patient's own healing ability is strong, it is not necessary to uncover the scab. External use of Ruyi Gold Ointment or Vigorous Iodine Gauze and oral administration of Amoxicillin and Levofloxacin Tablets can promote the rapid absorption of local infection and achieve better therapeutic effect.

Second, if the patient's scab is accompanied by a large number of effusion, pus accumulation, local redness, heat pain and so on. The local skin temperature is obviously increased, and the healing ability of patients is poor at this time. Drug treatment alone can not make the absorption of subcapsular pus faster. It is suggested that patients should remove scabs, remove effusion and pus under scabs and strengthen anti-infection treatment, which can promote the rapid recovery of local wounds.

Skin is easy to scab after trauma or injury, and after some operations. When the skin is scabbed and infected, it will scab and pus. Don't scab when the skin scabs and festers, because it will easily lead to aggravation of infection and leave scars. You can clean it with hydrogen peroxide first.

Apply iodophor locally, and then use anti-inflammatory ointment, such as ofloxacin gel, mupirocin ointment, fusidic acid cream, etc. You also need to take some antibiotics orally. If you are not allergic to antibiotics, you can take cefixime dispersible tablets orally, pay attention to keep ventilation and don't get wet.

There is pus in the scar. Do you want to tear three dressings?

Selection of traditional dressing in dry environment: natural gauze (cotton pad, medical invisible antibacterial film;

Selection of new dressings in wet environment: transparent paste and foam dressing; Because there is usually a period of hospitalization or postoperative follow-up, during this period, refer to the doctor's medication instructions. The following is mainly aimed at the wound situation in the rehabilitation nursing period after one week of superficial surgical incision. Mainly used for minimally invasive surgical incision or suture removal incision.

Medical invisible antibacterial membrane

Physical antibacterial, promoting wound healing, reducing scars, stopping bleeding and relieving pain, without too many side effects. The antibacterial film will automatically dry within about 3 minutes after spraying. Gauze: The use of medical invisible antibacterial film generally does not require dressing such as cotton yarn, and is only used to block foreign body pollution. It is recommended not to wrap gauze when used for rash.

Transparent sticker

Observe the wound changes clearly, reduce the oxygen partial pressure to increase local blood supply and decompress; Use when exudation is relatively small.

Foam dressing

Absorb part of sweat, prevent skin from soaking, strongly absorb exudate to keep the wound relatively dry, and at the same time decompress. Use when there is a lot of exudate.

Adapt to the wound condition

1. After discharge, the wound has not completely healed to a certain extent, and even oozed.

2. After discharge, the superficial wound has certain inflammatory infection.

General wound treatment

Use toothed tweezers to remove the wound dressing, then use toothless tweezers to disinfect the skin around the wound with iodine tincture and alcohol cotton balls, and clean the wound with 3% hydrogen peroxide or normal saline (iodine disinfectant can be bought in pharmacies, and be careful not to soak alcohol into the injured skin to avoid pain. If necessary, it can be covered with vaseline gauze or other gauze or gauze strips that can promote wound healing, and then covered with 3-4 layers of dry gauze, and finally wrapped and fixed with adhesive tape or bandage. The wound was changed 1-4 days, 1 time.

Severe infection of wound

There are many pus, black tissue, foul smell or green dressings. These wounds are difficult to treat at home, so we should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

The scab and suppuration can't be buckled by hand, and suppuration is mainly caused by Staphylococcus aureus infection. If it is removed by hand, bacteria will enter the blood through the wound, leading to the expansion of wound infection, even toxemia and bacteremia, which will endanger life and health in severe cases. And if you cut it off by hand when scabbing, you will also leave scars on your skin. For patients with scar constitution, it will also lead to scar hyperplasia and affect the appearance. When the wound is suppurated, it is recommended to go to the hospital for general surgery and apply anti-inflammatory drugs according to the doctor's advice.

If there is pus in the wound scar, it should be removed in time, the iodophor gauze should be moist, and antibiotics should be taken orally if necessary. In the process of false healing of some wounds, scabs and subcutaneous soft tissues will form some purulent secretions. Most patients can absorb pus from the wound after treatment for a period of time, but excessive pus with redness and pain usually affects wound healing. The treatment steps of wound scab with pus are as follows.

1. Remove the accumulated pus in time: open the wound as soon as possible, remove the purulent secretion under the scab as much as possible, and then wash the granulation under the scab with normal saline or hydrogen peroxide. If there is necrotic tissue or foreign body, try to pick it out and take it out to avoid reinfection.

2, iodophor gauze wet compress: local wet compress iodophor gauze or alginate dressing to promote pus self-absorption.

3. Oral antibiotics: If necessary, oral antibiotics such as cephalosporin can be taken to enhance the anti-infection effect, because the bacteria infected by wound suppuration may enter the blood, and oral antibiotics can reduce the further reinfection of bacteria on the wound.

In short, wound scab and pus should be cleared in time, and wound disinfection combined with oral antibiotics will accelerate wound healing.
