There are pimples on the face, many people will crush it with their fingernails. This year, uncle Yang, 50, didn't think of it. He almost died because of this: he squeezed a pockmark the size of rice grain on the left upper lip with his hand. Half an hour later, his lips were red and swollen, and then he had a high fever. His mouth was infected with pus, causing septicemia and signs of organ failure. The doctor even issued two critical notices. After five days of rescue, he survived!
Wang Guohua, deputy director of the stomatology department of the first Zhejiang University Hospital, explained that there is a professional name for acne called furuncle, which is caused by bacterial inflammation and infection of hair follicles. From the nose to the upper lip, it's the "danger triangle" of the human face, with dense capillaries and boils growing in this area. Never squeeze. "If you squeeze with your hands, bacteria will enter the blood, which may cause the spread of inflammation, septicemia, facial infection, intracranial phlebitis and even life-threatening!"
'dangerous triangle' has acne, please don't squeeze
A rice grain size of smallpox, why can cause such serious consequences?
Dr. Wang Guohua explained that this is because the 'danger triangle' of the face is acting strangely. This area is an isosceles triangle starting from the nose root and the line between the two corners of the mouth is at the bottom. The blood is very rich. And it differs from other places in that there is no venous valve to prevent blood from flowing back.
To squeeze the pimples or boils in this area by hand, it is easy for the blood carrying bacteria to flow to the central organs, or cause maxillofacial infection, resulting in serious complications. '
Uncle Yang's disease was diagnosed as a gap infection caused by boils, that is, an acute suppurative infection in the maxillofacial region with septicemia.
Wang Weiguo, Department of Stomatology, No.1 Hospital of Zhejiang University, pointed out that in the cases of acne caused by squeezing the 'dangerous triangle area', Mr. Yang is relatively serious. The disease usually occurs when the human body is over tired and the immunity is reduced.
Rescuing patients is an urgent task. The Department of Stomatology, ICU and endocrinology of the first hospital of Zhejiang University carried out multi-disciplinary consultation, anti-inflammatory and purulent, and removed about 8 cm of purulent and necrotic tissue in the mouth for the patients.
Uncle Yang was in the critical room of the stomatological surgery ward. After five days of emergency rescue, he was finally out of danger. And a grain of rice size of acne, also let him spend more than 30000 yuan of treatment fee.
Through this case, Dr. Wang Guohua would like to remind you that the face, especially the "dangerous triangle area", should not be squeezed.
If you have acne, you can use Iodophor to smear it and keep your face clean. But he has diabetes, cancer, old and frail, or is in a state of fatigue. Squashing pimples may lead to infection, which is particularly dangerous.
