Bed Bugs Information Bed Bugs. The cardinal symptoms and signs of any kind of inflammatory process are redness, heat, swelling, pain and loss of function. Abscesses may occur in any kind of solid tissue but most frequently on skin surface (where they may be superficial pustules (boils) or deep skin (abscesses), in the lungs, brain, teeth, kidneys and tonsils. Major complications are spreading of the abscess material to adjacent or remote tissues and extensive regional tissue death (gangrene). An abscess will begin to heal once it has drained in most cases. Pricking the white or yellow head with a sterile needle (lancing) is recommended. Squeezing is not recommended as it can push infected debris through tissue back into the blood and it can also promote scaring. Natural drainage is the best solution. You cannot lance a boil until the head is soft. ADDITIONS TO YOUR REMEDY: If the head is hard like you see in the photo, make a paste of epsom salt and a little water to keep it moist and wrap it over the area. It will draw the toxins to the surface and help soften so you can lance it for drainage. Hunts tomato paste can also be used on a boil to soothe pain and soften. Once a boil is lanced and begins to drain it can be sprayed with colloidal silver to keep it from re-infecting. Spray it down well and wrap it, repeat every few hours until it looks like healing is well on its way. |
