Necrosis of the skin is called a pathological process, which consists in the destruction of part of the tissue. It begins with swelling, followed by denaturation and coagulation, which leads to the last stage - the destruction of cells.
Why does skin necrosis develop?
The reasons for the development of skin necrosis can be several:
- circulatory disturbance ;
- the action of pathogenic bacteria and viruses;
- traumatic necrosis;
- toxigenic necrosis;
- trophoneurotic necrosis;
- ischemic necrosis;
- physical trauma;
- chemical trauma.
But necrosis of the skin can not be brought to the last stage of tissue death, if in time to notice the manifestations of the disease.
Symptoms of skin necrosis
Among the first symptoms of the manifestation of skin necrosis there is numbness in the anatomy and lack of sensitivity. After that, the pallor of the affected area of the skin appears, which is followed by a blue color and, eventually, a blackening with a green tinge. There is also a general deterioration in the patient's condition, which manifests itself:
- high temperature;
- increased heart rate;
- edema;
- hyperemia.
A sign that makes the previous symptoms more convincing is the pain under the affected area of the skin.
Necrosis of the skin after surgery
Necrosis of the skin is one of the negative consequences of poor preparation for the operation. The pernicious result of surgical intervention is usually manifested after two to three days after the operation. Superficial necrosis of the skin is located along the seam. Deep necrosis of the seam promotes its divergence, which significantly worsens the patient's condition and complicates the course of the disease itself.
Among the reasons for the formation of skin necrosis after surgery are:
- insufficient blood supply;
- significant detachment of tissues;
- excessive tension of the joints;
- infection of damaged skin areas.
Treatment of skin necrosis with folk remedies
In order to cure the disease at home, it is necessary to prepare ointments. Among the many existing recipes, we noted two.
For preparation of the first means it is necessary:
- Take 50 grams of wax, honey, rosin, smaltz, laundry soap and sunflower oil.
- All the ingredients put in a pan, mix thoroughly and boil.
- After that, let the mass cool down and add 50 grams of finely chopped onion, garlic and aloe .
- Thoroughly mix everything.
Before applying ointment on the affected area, it is necessary to warm it up.
The second recipe for folk remedies for the treatment of skin necrosis is easier to apply:
- Take one tablespoon of lard, one teaspoon of slaked lime and ash from the oak bark.
- Mix all the ingredients well.
The ointment is applied with a dressing for the night, and in the morning it is removed. The course lasts three days.
Medication
Treatment of skin necrosis depends on the form of the disease and the stage of its development. Local treatment includes two stages:
- prevention of infection;
- excision of dead tissue.
The second stage comes only after two or three weeks of effective treatment. At the general or common treatment therapy are appointed or nominated:
- antibacterial;
- detoxification;
- cardiovascular.
Surgery may also be performed, but it is rarely used.
