How to cure atheroma on the back at home

Causes and symptoms

The main cause is swelling of the hair follicle or damage to the sebaceous gland. Wen also occurs due to an increase in testosterone levels in the blood. The localization site is where there is a large accumulation of sebaceous glands.

The disease is asymptomatic, distinguished only by its visible appearance. Pain appears when the cyst begins to rupture. Atheroma is complicated over time by infection as a result of a breakthrough, so it must be removed in a timely manner. Large cysts are removed surgically. Treatment of atheroma with folk remedies is acceptable if the tumor is small in size, as well as if it has an abscess.

Main symptoms

Externally, the wen looks like a small hump growing from under the skin. Basically, atheroma reaches a size of one to three centimeters. Large atheroma occurs in case of suppuration. A non-inflamed cyst is dense and painless to the touch, with clear edges, moves inside the tissue, but is fused to the skin. If you look more closely, you can see a clogged sebaceous duct in the center of the formation.

If you press on the atheroma, a little white or yellowish substance with a cheesy consistency may come out of this duct. But doctors strongly do not recommend squeezing out the contents of the capsule or trying to open the atheroma in any way. In such cases, it often becomes inflamed and leads to complications. The symptoms of a festering wen are:

• redness of the skin on the formation and around it;
• hyperthermia of surrounding tissues;
• increased body temperature;
• fever;
• signs of general intoxication of the body (when opening the atheroma capsule).

If signs of suppuration appear, the use of traditional medicine recipes is strictly prohibited. In such cases, it is necessary to solve the problem surgically.

Features of traditional treatment

The only effective treatment for large atheroma is radical removal. It does not resolve spontaneously under any conditions. The contents cannot be removed without opening the capsule. You can pierce it, then all the contents will come out - like from a pimple. A visible cosmetic defect will remain, which is unpleasant - they usually appear under the hairline, less often on the back and groin. The secretion of the sebaceous gland will again accumulate in the resulting cavity. It will provoke a relapse of atheroma.

It is impossible to remove large atheroma at home.

It is simply impossible to remove large atheroma at home. Unconventional treatment is useless for complete removal of the cyst. But if detected early, it is recommended to start it. It will prevent the capsule from growing, as well as possible infection.

It is important to follow a few simple rules:

1. Do not use warming bandages or other methods to accelerate the maturation of atheroma.
2. Do not allow moisture to enter the opened cavity of the neoplasm.
3. Do not squeeze out pus.
4. Do not open the burst cavity, expanding the breakthrough.

All these actions will only provoke atheroma to rapidly grow and break through. The disease will be complicated by phlegmon and abscess, which are life-threatening, and their treatment will take longer.

If atheroma is detected, treatment at home is possible if it is small. Herbal tinctures will relieve inflammation of the sebaceous gland, promote the resorption of the blockage, or provoke a quick abscess when the atheroma is painful.

What is atheroma

Atheroma (cyst, wen) is a formation of a non-oncological nature. How many people have no idea what it is, and for this reason they select the wrong treatment methods. A tumor occurs due to blockage of the sebaceous glands. Therefore, the localization of growths is closely related to the areas of the body most enriched with such glands. Most often, the growth can be found on the head, in the armpit area, and in the groin area. Externally, atheroma resembles a capsule containing a viscous curd mass. From the outside, the tumor looks like a lump that rises under the skin. In some cases, the tumor has a small hole through which its contents leak out. In such cases, a person may notice the appearance of a white substance with a specific characteristic odor. This substance is a product of the sebaceous gland, which accumulates due to its blockage. There are many reasons for this phenomenon. These include hormonal disorders and mechanical damage.

People of any age and gender are susceptible to the appearance of these formations. But according to statistics, most cases of the disease occur in men between 20 and 30 years old. At the same time, turning to a specialist occurs at a later age, when the formation reaches an impressive size.

The main danger of atheroma is the risk of tumor suppuration. The longer a person ignores the disease, the higher the chances of an inflammatory process, which can lead to a wide variety of serious consequences.

Oral preparations

Atheroma is an inflammation, so it is recommended to supplement external treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs. You can take a course of antibiotics to prevent tumor growth. Anti-inflammatory and painkillers are also prescribed.

Herbal decoctions will help attack the wen from the inside:

1. Coltsfoot. Tannins reduce inflammation. You need to throw 2 tbsp. spoons of fresh plant leaves into boiling water for 20 minutes. Leave for another hour after turning off. Drink half a glass on an empty stomach.

   
   Drink half a glass of the infusion on an empty stomach.

2. Wheat germ juice. Purchased at a pharmacy, it affects inflammation from the inside. It should be diluted in a glass of water.
3. Parsley decoction. Chop 1 bunch of fresh herbs and throw into boiling water. Boil for 10 minutes, let it brew for another half hour. Drink 200 grams before meals.

The dosage and method of preparation should be strictly observed. In addition to the effect on atheroma, decoctions of medicinal herbs will affect digestion and other body systems.

Depending on location

The cystic formation is located in the area where the sebaceous glands accumulate, mainly in the head (especially hair), groin, chest, and back. Some traditional medicines work more effectively if applied locally:

• on the head: anti-inflammatory decoction of chamomile, St. John's wort and calendula. Or a homemade mixture of laundry soap and baked onions, which you need to lubricate the affected area three times a day;
• on the face: film from a raw egg;
• atheroma behind the ear or lobe: a compress of diluted ammonia. Apply for two minutes, after which the area is washed with water.

The disease is doubly dangerous if it is localized on the head or face. In addition to cosmetic defects, blood poisoning can occur. Treatment with traditional methods is complicated if there are multiple lumps with constant relapses.

How is the operation to remove atheroma performed?

Atheroma is removed in the following ways:

• Laser knife;
• Using a traditional scalpel;
• Using radio wave surgery.

The surgeon selects the type of surgical intervention depending on the size and condition of the atheroma. The destruction of small formations is best carried out using a laser or radio wave knife. After using these methods, the postoperative scar is practically invisible.

It is preferable to remove atheromas of significant size in the traditional way using a scalpel. During this operation, local anesthesia is used. A highly qualified surgeon can use modern methods to remove even an atheroma with a purulent process inside it, which has an impressive size. However, in most cases, they prefer to eliminate such formations using a regular scalpel.
