Furuncles on the pubic part: causes - detailed information

Furunculosis - a rather unpleasant ailment, purulent character, which is accompanied by the appearance of formations on the skin. It is much worse when boils occur directly in the intimate zone. In addition to the fact that this pathological condition causes a strong pain syndrome, which spreads to the genitals, so also most patients are embarrassed to go to a specialist with such an unpleasant problem.

At the same time, the formation of the pubic furuncle can occur equally in men and women, regardless of age. This is explained by the fact that for the development of furunculosis requires a delicate skin, with a tendency to moisture formation. Axillary zones are the most common places of furuncle formation, but the pubic part is also no exception.

Why do furuncles occur in the inguinal zone?

First of all, we should highlight the main and most likely the most common reason - insufficient attention to intimate hygiene. In addition, even hair removal can trigger the appearance of boils. After all, the skin can contain the main pathogens pathogens - staphylococci. Therefore, reduced functions of the immune system, damage to the integrity of the dermis, can provoke the development of staphylococcus aureus. Thus, the bacterium begins to activate directly in the hair follicle and contact tissues.

If you take the reasons for the formation of the furuncle in the pubic area, we can distinguish the following:

1. Decreased protective functions of the immune system( not cured chronic diseases, which lead to a weakening of immunity).
2. Damage to the integrity of the skin.
3. Non-observance of hygiene rules in the intimate zone( lack of regularity to change clothes regularly, take a shower every day).
4. Allergic reactions to various agents.
5. Hyperhidrosis( when a person suffers from excessive perspiration, it is necessary to use talc, because otherwise it forms a boil).
6. Relapses of infectious ailments.

Please note! That the reasons for the development of furunculosis may be incorrectly selected underwear( too tight or made of synthetic material).Thus, friction occurs, which leads to damage to the skin and penetration of the pathogenic bacteria into the epidermis.

The ailments that contribute to the development of the furuncle in the intimate zone

As it was already explained, the reasons provoking the appearance of the boils may be very different, but the following diseases can contribute to the development of a painful condition in parallel:

Disease	Characteristic
Pediculosis	Formed in the pubic area due to the main pathogen - pubic lice. If the appearance of a furuncle, the patient denies the presence of lice, then it is necessary to undergo an emergency diagnosis. After all, you can get infected with this parasite even through clothes. In this case, the incubation period can be a whole month and only after that there is a strong itch. On the fact of the development of the disease red rashes begin to form
Herpes	Often, with promiscuous sexual life, one can get genital herpes. Undoubtedly, the phenomenon is quite unpleasant and disturbing. Three days after infection, there may be a bubble formation with pus, which after lopane leave ulcers. The first symptomatology is itching, swelling, burning in the intimate zone
Molluscum contagiosum	This is a viral affliction that can be infected with direct skin contact. This infection can be in the incubation period up to two months. Then on a pubis there are rashes which can be regenerated in a papule. When pressing on the formation, a purulent mass of curd character

will be released. Therefore, it is possible to provoke furunculosis and so serious in its course of the disease.

Clinical picture

The formation of one furuncle, for example, on the forearm or back, is not as dangerous as its occurrence in the inguinal zone. This is explained by the fact that in the pubic area there is a more intensive blood supply, therefore, after penetrating the pathogenic bacteria deeply into the structure of the epidermis, increases the probability of infection in the bloodstream. As a result, the most terrible thing can happen - blood infection.

It is worth noting that the pubic boil is not a frequent occurrence and affects only those people who have weakened immunity and do not follow intimate hygiene. On the contrary, if a boil appeared on the penis, then this is evidence that the man has a promiscuous sex life. In this case, urgent help is needed for a dermatologist, because a man can expect serious complications.

If the furuncle is formed in the perineum, on the genitals or in the pubic region, then it goes through similar stages of development, as in other places of localization. The whole process begins from infiltration, that is, the contact( surrounding) tissues become inflamed. After this, a painful furuncle is formed, and then a slow healing phase begins. To have more ideas about furunculosis, it is necessary to consider in more detail each stage of development.

Table 2. The stages of the formation of the boil

Stage	Brief description
Infiltration	This is the first stage in which the patient begins to feel soreness, where in the future a boil develops. The skin at this place is characterized by swelling and redness. An additional symptom at this stage is no longer marked
Formation of education	This stage is quite unpleasant, as the formation of a painful boil is taking place. At this time, a purulent boil ripens, and a rod is formed in it. The patient feels a strong pain syndrome, which can cover even the genitals. Pain sharply increases with pressure, and swelling can spread to the perineum.
. Healing.	. This is the last and most pleasant stage when the ripe rod spontaneously emerges outward and relieves purulent formation. If this process does not occur, urgent surgical intervention is required. After the disappearance of pus, the tissue of

Help! When the boil formed in the pubic zone in a representative of the stronger sex, the swelling can cover the scrotum and penis. In this case, the patient will feel a significant deterioration of the condition, which is accompanied by high fever and chills.

The main symptomatology

Symptomatic in the formation of boils will depend on the stage of development of the disease.

1. Initially, the infection begins to inflame the follicle. Around it, the skin becomes reddening and puffiness arises. The situation can be complicated by the appearance of severe itching.
2. In the inflammatory process, necrosis of cells occurs, followed by the formation of purulent masses.
3. A furuncle shaft is formed, which aggressively breaks the outer layer of the epidermis. As a result, the purulent masses come out, the patient feels a slight relief.

Prevention of occurrence of furuncles on pubic

All purulent and inflammatory formations in the intimate zone are treated exclusively through specialized care. Only a doctor supports ointments and other medicines, and otherwise( with self-medication) complications may occur. To prevent the formation of boils, it is necessary to carry out such activities:

1. To treat intimate hygiene with all seriousness( regularly change clothes, wear only quality panties from natural materials, with increased sweating use baby powders or talcum, apply a special gel for intimate hygiene).
2. In case of damage to the skin, do not touch it with hands.
3. If the furuncle has already formed, you can not accelerate the maturation process, by squeezing out. As a result, blood can be contaminated. Purulent formation is better to bring out with the help of special ointments.

How does the treatment work?

It is very important, at the appearance of the first symptomatology, not to start spontaneous treatment, but to consult a doctor. After all, often a boil can warn about infection with a venereal disease.

At the first stage of furuncle formation, the following measures are very effective:

1. The doctor selects a group of antibiotics that cut the affected area. Additionally, antiseptic drugs may be used.
2. Often may be prescribed in small doses of UFO.But, often there are difficulties of a technical nature due to the closest distance of the mucous perineum.

When the boil ripens, the treatment should be intensive to speed up the healing process. For this, various antibacterial drugs and antibiotics are used. In extreme cases, detoxification therapy may be prescribed.

This is important! The use of all thermal procedures is strictly prohibited. It is very important to contribute to a rapid outflow of purulent masses. This can be done with a compress of ichthyol ointment.

When the boil passes into the healing stage, it is very important to create all the conditions for removing pus. To do this, use a special ophthalmic ointment. For healing to be accelerated, Miramistin can be used. Also in the period of treatment a considerable role is played by hypertensive solutions.

In parallel, do not forget about the observance of personal intimate hygiene. That's just the usual shower with the formation of a boil will not be enough. For an early healing, you should wash your genitals and perineum with herbal decoctions, make compresses from herbal infusions.

In case of ineffectiveness of therapeutic actions and absence of breakthrough of a boil, surgical intervention is prescribed under the influence of a local anesthetic. But only after applying such a radical method, an unpleasant consequence can be preserved in the form of a scar on the delicate skin. Therefore, doctors try to find the most effective antibiotics to avoid surgical operations. On average, taking antibiotics lasts for four days, then the doctor looks at the development of the clinical picture.

Please note that self-medication may be limited to using a solution of potassium permanganate, as well as ichthyol ointment. Thanks to the warming effect, the purulent contents will quickly come out. The use of other drugs that are not consistent with the attending physician may be fraught with health problems.
