Atheroma - treatment

Atheroma - a benign formation in the subcutaneous layers, can appear on different parts of the body. Usually, such tumors are painless and do not pose a problem to human health, but in some cases painful sensations arise, and suppuration of the neoplasm occurs. In such situations, one can not do without the treatment of atheroma.

Treatment of atheroma in the home

With a minor inflammatory process and a small amount of subcutaneous education, you can do without surgery, using folk remedies for the treatment of atheroma. Since the main reason for the formation of athere lies in the slagging of the organism, it is first recommended to take herbal preparations that help to eliminate toxins.

There are many recipes of folk medicine, which are used for the manufacture of medicines for local external use:

1. To treat atheroma on the face and body, compresses can be used from fresh leaves of mother-and-stepmother , fixed with bandages or bactericidal adhesive plasters.
2. A good effect is superimposed on the inflamed area of ​​gruel from crushed garlic and a few drops of sunflower oil. The composition should be lightly rubbed into the problem area.
3. An effective remedy is baked onions. The onion is grinded into a gruel and mixed with a small amount of grinded soap on the grater. The weight is superimposed on the inflammation and bandages. After 10 - 12 hours, you need to make a fresh compress.
4. It is believed that to get rid of zhirovikov it is possible with the help of silver objects, which are imposed on a sore spot and are wound with a bandage.

Treatment of festering atheroma

Treatment of inflammation of atheroma must necessarily take place under the supervision of a doctor. In the absence of complications, cotton-gauze bandages with Levomekolev ointment or Vishnevsky ointment are shown. Impregnated multi-layer gauze is applied for a long time to the problem site. After a day or two, the dressing is removed, the purulent contents are "pulled out" from the wound.

In especially severe cases, when the temperature rises, the general condition of a person worsens, surgical intervention is required. As a rule, atheroma removal is performed on an outpatient basis (less often in a hospital) with a scalpel using local anesthesia. A qualified specialist not only will dissect the lipoid content, but will necessarily remove the capsule of atheroma, thus preventing recurrent phenomena that may occur if the capsule particles are left. In addition, the doctor prescribes antibiotics, which also hinder the development of inflammatory processes.

The most progressive to date is the treatment of atheroma with a laser. The algorithm of a bloodless procedure is as follows:

1. A cut is made of the skin, 2 - 3 mm deep.
2. The atheroma capsule is removed together with the contents.

But you should know that the removal of atheroma with a laser is possible if the formation lies near the skin epidermis.

Treatment after removal of atheroma

After the procedure, the operated site is treated with antiseptic ointment and covered with a sterile bandage. Depending on the preoperative course of the process and the general condition of the patient, the doctor can recommend taking antibacterial drugs for several days. Occasionally it happens that the specialist can not completely remove the capsule completely due to the fact that the inflammatory phenomena prevent accurately determining its location. In this case, the cleaning is carried out, and only after the complete disappearance of the inflammation (this period lasts one to two months), an operation is performed to remove the capsule.
