Minor injuries, scratches, abrasions and wounds in our life are almost inevitable. In this case, various microorganisms, and sometimes foreign bodies, enter the wound. It is to remove them that the immune system is activated. Blood with a large number of leukocytes rushes to the wound. And immune cells - macrophages - actively absorb foreign elements, and in the process of their digestion they themselves are destroyed. This is how pus is formed.
How to deal with a purulent wound?Folk remedies for drawing out pus. They are used at your own peril and risk before visiting a doctor. 
The main thing that needs to be done when receiving a purulent wound is to provide an outlet for pus. This is exactly what the surgeon will do: he will open the wound, clean it, remove nonviable tissue, and suture it.
It is very dangerous if the contents with bubbles have gone from the wound, the temperature has risen, nausea and vomiting have appeared, the heartbeat has increased, and the head is dizzy. All these are signs of an immediate call to a doctor or an ambulance.
Any violation of the integrity of the skin can cause the formation of pus, edema and tissue necrosis in the area of the damaged area. Treatment of purulent wounds is carried out with the help of special medicines, you can use traditional methods, or resort to urine therapy.
Treat purulent wounds in a timely manner
If pathogenic bacteria penetrate into a punctured, cut, chopped, lacerated wound, postoperative suture, the process of suppuration will begin. The process is accompanied by pain, swelling, the damaged tissue consists of dead cells, requires immediate medical treatment - otherwise gangrene may develop, and the affected limb will have to be amputated.
The reasons for the development of a purulent process:
Staphylococci - pyogenic microbes
The likelihood of developing a purulent process increases in the presence of diabetes mellitus, vascular pathologies, obesity, sexually transmitted diseases, in elderly people, people with weakened immunity, in the hot season.
Any accidental wound during surgery is considered infected, so even minor scratches and abrasions should be treated immediately, especially in children.Purulent wounds are open and closed, accompanied by the process of infiltration, necrosis. Most often, suppuration begins in accidental wounds and postoperative sutures can develop in a gangrenous type, proceed in the form of a phlegmon or an abscess.
The main types of purulent dermatological lesions:
Accumulation of pus in the big toe
The color and consistency of pus allows you to identify the type of causative agent of the inflammatory process. Discharge of white or light yellow color indicates staphylococcal infection, when Escherichia coli enters the wound, the mass is liquid, has a brown-yellow color. Staphylococcus infection is evidenced by watery formations of a greenish-yellow color, brown mucus with a pungent fetid odor is a sign of an anaerobic infection. A yellow exudate, which turns brown on contact with air, appears when infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The main local signs of a purulent process are the presence of exudates of different colors in the wound, pain, local fever, redness and swelling around the wound. When infected, a large amount of toxins enter the body, which leads to the appearance of signs of intoxication at a later stage of the development of the disease.
Signs of a purulent process:
The presence of a purulent and inflammatory process helps to identify a clinical blood test - the ESR increases, the leukocyte formula shifts to the left.
Excessive sweating may indicate wound festering.
To eliminate purulent-necrotic processes, complex therapy is used, which is aimed at suppressing the growth of pathogenic microorganisms, eliminating pain syndrome, and accelerating the regeneration process. Most often, local treatment is used; in severe forms, antibiotics in tablet form should be taken additionally.
The use of external medicines with various therapeutic effects is the main method of treating purulent wounds. Before applying the ointment or solution, the damaged area must be cleaned with warm water and soap, and blotted with a soft cloth. For dressings, you can use only sterile gauze and bandage, wipe all tools with alcohol.
How to treat festering wounds:
Powder Baneocin - antibacterial agent
Non-traditional methods of treatment help speed up the healing process, help eliminate inflammation and strengthen local immunity. Folk remedies can only be used in combination with drug therapy; all therapeutic measures should be agreed with the attending physician.
How to get rid of festering wounds using folk methods:
Chamomile tea is a natural antimicrobial agent
It is impossible to treat purulent processes with essential oils - they can provoke an exacerbation of pathology. For the duration of therapy, you need to stop using peanuts and other allergenic products, alcoholic beverages.
For a long time, urine has been used as a wound healing agent for the early elimination of purulent processes - an absolutely sterile liquid contains hormones, trace elements, well softens the crusts that appear during the healing process, but modern non-traditional treatment is also carried out using urinototherapy. Fresh urine meets all the medical requirements.
How to remove purulent processes with urine:
Urine treatment is an effective way to eliminate purulent processes, but it is better to use it in extreme cases, when there are no medicines and other means of therapy at hand.
The immune system of a healthy person with traumatic injuries begins to suppress foreign bodies, which reduces the risk of developing infectious pathologies; in diabetics, the body performs these functions worse. In diabetes, the process of glucose breakdown slows down, which reduces the rate of regeneration, promotes the active growth of pathogenic microorganisms - all this leads to the appearance of long non-healing wounds, trophic ulcers, nerve endings lose sensitivity, without proper treatment, amputation will be required. All the consequences of untimely treatment of wounds in diabetes can be seen in the photo.

How to Heal Diabetes Wounds Quickly:
Vishnevsky's ointment destroys microbes well
All medications should be applied at least twice a day. The damaged areas should first be washed, dried, treated with hydrogen peroxide.
The composition of ointments for the treatment of purulent wounds in diabetes should not contain alcohol, salicylic acid, synthetic dyes and preservatives, glycerin.
Ulcers in the oral cavity can appear due to non-observance of hygiene rules, against the background of an infectious or fungal pathology, prolonged use of medications, diabetes, and frequent stress. The best medications for treatment are Benzocaine ointment, Solcoseryl. If the wounds have arisen against the background of an exacerbation of herpes, Acyclovir, Famciclovir will help.
Effective home therapies:
Lemon juice and honey will help get rid of purulent wounds in the mouth.
If the wounds in the mouth are accompanied by severe pain, a piece of ice can be used as first aid, it must be pressed against the sore - such a procedure will help prevent the development of inflammatory processes, quickly eliminate discomfort in the oral cavity.
After any surgical intervention, stitches remain on the body, which should be properly looked after in order to avoid suppuration and speed up the healing process. Wound care includes the mandatory use of antiseptics, agents that accelerate the resorption of scars; medications should be used at least twice a day.
How can postoperative stitches be treated:
If the wound has healed, in addition to soften the skin, smooth scars tightening, you can use vegetable oil from sea buckthorn and milk thistle. It is also effective to use special plasters that hold the incision sites together and prevent scar growth.
You should not remove the stitches and postoperative braces on your own - this is fraught with infection of the wound, the development of a purulent process.
Purulent wounds are a severe and complex pathology that requires long-term complex treatment. Which drug is better, the principle and scheme of treatment can only be determined by a doctor, based on examination and the results of clinical studies. Self-medication can lead to the development of complications, up to limb amputation.
What to do if a finger festers? Purulent inflammation of the skin, and if you call it scientifically, then panaritium, usually occurs on the fingers.
The most common causes of this inflammation are inaccurate manicure or pedicure, various abrasions, cuts, or a nail that has grown into the soft tissue of the toe. These diseases bring not only aesthetic but also painful problems.
In the early stages, a festering finger can be cured at home with all kinds of baths and compresses. In severe cases, it is imperative to consult a surgeon.
In no case should it be delayed with treatment. Otherwise, panaritium can cause sepsis. And this is already much more serious and leads to much more significant problems.
All diseases of the festering toe begin due to the entry of staphylococcus and streptococcus microbes into the wound that start to progress. It is these microbes that cause suppuration of soft tissues.
In children, panaritium is more often observed due to the tendency to suck fingers and bite nails. 
With an incorrect and sloppy pedicure, ingrown toenail which damages the skin around the toe and contributes to further infection.
Nail fungus promotes the appearance of suppuration due to circulatory disorders in the legs. People whose profession is related to manual labor also have a strong risk of developing panaritium.
To diagnose panaritium for sure, you need to know the main symptoms of the disease. This violation finger functions, increased body temperature, a also finger pain.
Severe inflammation and, often, accumulation of pus under the skin also indicate the progress of the disease of the festering finger.
The felon has several stages..
At the very beginning, inflammation affects only the top layer of the skin. If untreated, the disease penetrates much deeper, affecting muscle tissue and bones. In addition, an unpleasant disease has several varieties:
1)Periungual felon occurs near the nail plate. The disease occurs due to inaccurate manicure or pedicure and tearing off the burrs. Also, with fungal infections and an ingrown nail, similar consequences are possible;
2) Subcutaneous and cutaneous panaritium occurs with severe inflammation of the skin around the finger itself. What is manifested by swelling, painful sensations when pressing the finger and redness;
3) Subungual felon occurs in the event of splinters falling under the nail plate or with improper manicure, as well as with any foreign invasion under the nail;
4)Bone panaritium occurs with inflammation of bone tissue. There is redness, sharp pain and impaired ability to move the finger.
In any of these cases, in the early stages, it is necessary to do special baths, lotions and compresses. Therefore, you should know how to cure felon without the intervention of surgeons.

2. Since felon is considered a purulent disease, antibiotics will help speed up the treatment. Metronidazole and Augmentin are available at most regular drugstores. It is these drugs that are most often prescribed by doctors to fight purulent infections.
3. In case of severe inflammation of the finger, it will help gruel of garlic and laundry soap.
The garlic is baked in the oven, and the soap is rubbed finely with a grater or cut into small pieces.
Finely chopped or grated garlic is mixed with soap and the resulting gruel is applied to the sore spot. For best results, this compress should be changed every three hours. 
4. Another recipe will help you prevent an abscess and further formation of the disease. For treatment primarily rub on a grater and apply the resulting mass to your finger.
Then wrap it in a bandage immediately. Change the bandage every four to five hours.
5. For quick treatment of panaritium soak a slice of bread in warm milk and apply to the sore spot. It is best to do this while looking at night, and in the morning remove the bandage.
6. To draw out pus make gruel from grated potatoes and apply it to the wound. The dressing should be changed every five hours for the best effect.
7. Ideally draws out pus as well.

The wound has festered - what to do? A burn, a cut, a deeper trauma - all of these damage to the skin can be potentially dangerous. The fact is that even a small scratch can get an infection, as a result of which an inflammatory process begins and the damage can begin to fester. That is why even the smallest scratch made at home must be carefully treated with disinfectants.
The most dangerous are large wounds resulting from road accidents, accidents, falls and other life-threatening situations. Most of the complications and the greatest threat to the life and health of the patient are injuries to the abdomen, head, chest.
If you do not start to treat the inflamed scratch in a timely manner, serious complications can arise. A purulent process that has begun in a cut can be suspected if there are signs such as increased pain in the area of the injured surface of the skin, the appearance of a feeling of bursting or pulsation. If puffiness of the skin around the injury, hyperemia is added to these signs, then the wound needs to be urgently treated. Usually, soon after the appearance of the above signs, pus begins to stand out from the wound, which clearly indicates the presence of an inflammatory process.
The inflammatory process slows down the rate of scarring of the damaged area of the skin, and in especially severe cases it can lead to blood poisoning and even death.
However, such consequences are more likely in the presence of damage that occupies a large surface of the skin.
The most dangerous are those lesions of the skin in which the process of decay has begun, since in this case the general body temperature rises, the patient may have chills, the state of health worsens, the degree of general intoxication of the body increases.
If the suppuration is small, then the surface of the scratch must be disinfected. Treatment of a purulent wound at home will be as follows.
First, the scratch surface needs to be treated with hydrogen peroxide. To do this, a few drops of peroxide are applied to a cotton swab and the accumulated pus is removed.
Following this, you can treat the damaged surface with a weak, slightly pink solution of potassium permanganate. After removal of pus and disinfection, an antiseptic agent is applied to the surface of the damage and the skin around it, Levomekol ointment is perfect for these purposes, after these procedures, the damage is sealed on top with a bactericidal adhesive plaster. For more serious injuries, dressing with sterile bandages is required.
It should be remembered that the procedure for treating a purulent wound should be done at least once a day until the damaged area of the skin is completely healed. If it flows from a purulent wound, then disinfectant treatment should be carried out several times a day. The sequence of actions does not change. However, it should be remembered that wipes or cotton swabs previously used to disinfect them should not be taken to re-treat purulent lesions.
If the wound festers and its self-treatment does not give a positive result, you should consult a doctor. The criterion for referring to a doctor is the absence of improvement in the external state of damage within three days.
A festering wound on the leg in a hospital is treated as follows. The old bandage is removed first. This should be done very carefully so that the skin on the leg does not stretch behind the bandage: this causes pain to the patient and can cause bleeding. In a hospital setting, only sterile instruments and dressings are used to treat infected injuries. The treatment is carried out one or several times a day, depending on the general condition of the body and the degree of development of the infectious process.
Purulent lesions on the legs in the hospital are treated in an extraordinary way if the bandage begins to leak or there is a fact of increased pain in the injured legs. If difficulties arise when removing the dressing, for example, the old dressing is stuck to the scratch, then before removing it, it is necessary to soak the bandages from the skin with furacilin solution or hydrogen peroxide.
If, after removing the old dressing, damage was nevertheless inflicted and the scratch began to bleed, then before continuing to treat the wound surface, capillary bleeding should be stopped by firmly pressing a napkin to the damage. Wound dressing is usually trusted by experienced medical professionals, but some more manipulations should be carried out before applying the removed old bandage.
A nurse treats purulent injuries with iodine, but not the wound itself, but its edges. The scratch site is cleaned with dry sterile swabs. After treatment with iodine and tampons, the wound is washed with disinfectant solutions, for example, hydrogen peroxide. In no case should dense pressing bandages be applied to a purulent wound, and in case of severe suppuration, the use of Vishnevsky's ointment is absolutely contraindicated.
Festering wounds are an alarming sign, because one of their complications can be necrotization of skin areas. The necrotic skin edges are trimmed very carefully with sterile scissors. After that, the wound is dried and a sterile napkin moistened with saline or iodinol is placed on top of it. The edges of the napkin are fixed on healthy skin with an adhesive plaster or bandage above and below the wound. Along with dressings for a serious wound, it is imperative to take antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, symptomatic treatment is carried out.

A neglected purulent wound may require surgical intervention. So, if the wound is rotting, then the help of a surgeon will most likely be required, who will dissect the wound and remove dead tissue, bone fragments from it, if any. Also, wound dissection operations are performed in order to eliminate the accumulated pus under the skin from the injured limb.
Traditional medicine offers a huge selection of herbs for the treatment of suppurating skin lesions. However, it should be remembered that herbs and plants should be used in the presence of small scratches; in case of more serious damage, it is worth contacting a hospital.
If the wound has festered, what to do? It is good to have collections of medicinal herbs on hand. You can use lotions from decoctions or infusions of plants. So, with a decoction of the fruits and flowers of rose hips, you should moisten a gauze swab and apply it to the damage. And plantain leaves are good fresh. So, clean leaves of this plant should be applied to the wound for 10-15 minutes. As a rule, small festering scratches after several procedures stop secreting pus and begin to slowly heal.
But alcoholic tinctures of fir or nettle wash the damage, and even grated carrots can be used as a lotion. Ordinary onions will help dissolve a purulent abscess, and grape leaves have hemostatic properties. They are pushed into gruel and tied to the wound with a bandage for a while. Also grape leaves have a bactericidal effect. The procedure for treating damage using grape leaves should be carried out several times during the day.
Compresses from Kalanchoe juice can be applied to the surface of the scratch, and you cannot put them on an open wound - you need to overlay the wound along the contour with gauze swabs soaked in Kalanchoe juice. For the same purposes, it is worth using an ointment from Kalanchoe leaves.
But powder from the roots of calamus marsh should be sprinkled on top of festering wounds or ulcers.
Treatment of purulent lesions is a long and laborious process that requires patience.
27545But you need to start treating them as soon as possible, because otherwise, various complications may appear: from increased pain and edema of nearby tissues to blood poisoning.
Suppuration of a cut, an abscess, a furuncle - rarely has anyone ever managed to face such phenomena in their life that can even be caused by a microtrauma. Surgical treatment of suppuration is a common practice, and purulent surgery is one of the oldest medical practices. At the same time, folk remedies for abscesses can quickly heal small wounds at home, they can even save human life if medical care is not available. It should be noted that this applies only to subcutaneous inflammation - the internal purulent process requires urgent surgical intervention.
The formation of a subcutaneous abscess occurs as follows: 
However, if the suppuration is deep, and the wound channel was narrow, pus can penetrate deep into the tissues. This leads to sepsis, the treatment of which can be long, severe and not always successful.
That is why medicine is often guided by the rule: "you see pus - open it right away." The opening of the capsule is carried out under local or general anesthesia, after which the wound is cleaned and sanitized, a drainage system is installed to drain the exudate, and a sterile bandage is applied, which changes with regular examination. After the inflammation stops, the drainage must be removed and drugs that promote skin healing should be used. This treatment is the most radical and successful. However, a small amount of suppuration close to the surface of the skin can be treated at home, especially if it is difficult to obtain surgery.
It must be remembered that any damage to the skin, other than that caused by a sterile instrument, is associated with an infection. Therefore, if signs of suppuration and inflammation appear, it is necessary to prevent the closure of the wound by constantly wetting it with hydrogen peroxide or just salt water. In order to cope with infection and draw out pus, there are many effective medications. Almost all of them are available in any pharmacy and are affordable. At home, you can treat an abscess with drugs such as:
Before applying the ointment, you need to treat the skin surface with hydrogen peroxide or furacilin, and after applying the ointment, cover it with a clean bandage. You need to change the ointment and bandage according to the instructions for use of this product.
For centuries, most people had to treat suppuration on their own, therefore, among the folk remedies there are many such whose effectiveness has been proven by time. It is important that many of them (onions, garlic, cabbage, honey, etc.) are common food products, which allows you to treat an abscess without spending time and effort. The most accessible means to draw out pus "away from civilization" are: 
At home, you can also apply to an abscess:
The therapeutic application from the indicated means must be changed as it dries, it can be worn constantly. The beneficial substances contained in these plants will help draw out pus, relieve inflammation and accelerate the recovery of damaged tissues. To avoid skin burns, onions are applied in the morning and in the evening for no more than two hours, then washed off with water. Baked or boiled onions have a milder effect. Baked garlic also draws out pus well.
To prepare a homemade antipyretic ointment, you need to mix raw yolk with honey and butter (a tablespoon each) and add flour (even better, cosmetic clay) to this mixture so that you get a soft dough that needs to be stored in the refrigerator. A lozenge from this mixture should be applied to the wound and changed three times a day, continuing treatment and after the wound begins to clear.
If an internal abscess is located on the finger, especially under the nail, it should be periodically steamed in hot water, to which salt, soda, and alcohol tincture of calendula are added (a teaspoon per glass).
