Impetigo

I-Impetigo yisifo esivamile sesikhumba.

I-Impetigo ibangelwa yi-streptococcus (strep) noma i-staphylococcus (staph) bacteria. IMethicillin-resistant staph aureus (MRSA) iba yimbangela ejwayelekile.

Isikhumba ngokuvamile sinezinhlobo eziningi zamagciwane kuso. Lapho kunesikhala esikhunjeni, amagciwane angangena emzimbeni futhi akhulele lapho. Lokhu kubangela ukuvuvukala nokutheleleka. Ukwephuka esikhunjeni kungenzeka kusukela ekulimaleni noma ekulimaleni kwesikhumba noma ezinambuzaneni, ezilwaneni, noma ekulungeni kwabantu.

I-Impetigo nayo ingavela esikhunjeni, lapho kungekho khona ikhefu elibonakalayo.

I-Impetigo ivame kakhulu ezinganeni ezihlala ngaphansi kwezimo ezingenampilo.

Kubantu abadala, kungenzeka kwenzeke ngokulandela enye inkinga yesikhumba. Kungaphinde kukhule ngemuva kwegciwane elibandayo noma elinye igciwane.

I-Impetigo ingasakazekela nakwabanye. Ungakuthola ukutheleleka kothile onakho uma uketshezi oluphuma esikhunjeni salo luthinta indawo evulekile esikhunjeni sakho.

Izimpawu ze-impetigo yilezi:

• Amabhamuza owodwa noma amaningi agcwele ubomvu futhi avele kalula. Ezinganeni, isikhumba sibomvu noma sibheke okuluhlaza lapho i-blister iphukile khona.
• Amabhamuza anonwabu agcwele uketshezi oluphuzi noma oluju futhi aqhume aqhume ngaphezulu. I-Rash engaqala njengendawo eyodwa kepha isabalalele kwezinye izindawo ngenxa yokuklwebha.
• Izilonda zesikhumba ebusweni, ezindebeni, ezingalweni, noma emilenzeni ezisabalala kwezinye izindawo.
• I-lymph node evuvukile eduze kwesifo.
• Amachashaza we-impetigo emzimbeni (ezinganeni).

Umhlinzeki wakho wokunakekelwa kwezempilo uzobheka isikhumba sakho ukunquma ukuthi unayo i-impetigo.

Umhlinzeki wakho angathatha isampula lamagciwane esikhunjeni sakho ukuze akhule kulebhu. Lokhu kungasiza ukunquma ukuthi ngabe i-MRSA iyimbangela yini. Ama-antibiotic akhethekile ayadingeka ukwelapha lolu hlobo lwama-bacteria.

Inhloso yokwelashwa ukuqeda ukutheleleka nokuqeda izimpawu zakho.

Umhlinzeki wakho uzonikeza ukhilimu olwa namagciwane. Ungadinga ukuthatha ama-antibiotic ngomlomo uma ukutheleleka kunzima.

Geza ngobumnene (UNGASIKhuhlI) isikhumba sakho izikhathi eziningana ngosuku. Sebenzisa insipho elwa namagciwane ukususa ama-crust kanye ne-drainage.

Izilonda ze-impetigo ziphola kancane. Izibazi azivamile. Izinga lokwelashwa liphezulu kakhulu, kepha inkinga ivame ukubuya ezinganeni ezisencane.

I-Impetigo ingaholela ku:

• Ukusabalala kokutheleleka kwezinye izingxenye zomzimba (ezivamile)
• Ukuvuvukala kwezinso noma ukwehluleka (akuvamile)
• Ukulimala kwesikhumba okungapheli nokuqothuka (okungajwayelekile)

Shayela umhlinzeki wakho uma unezimpawu ze-impetigo.

Vimbela ukusabalala kwesifo.

• Uma une-impetigo, hlala usebenzisa indwangu yokugeza ehlanzekile nethawula njalo lapho ugeza.
• UNGABI wabelana ngamathawula, okokwembatha, izinsingo, neminye imikhiqizo yokunakekelwa komuntu nanoma ngubani.
• Gwema ukuthinta amabhamuza aqhamukayo.
• Geza izandla zakho kahle ngemuva kokuthinta isikhumba esinegciwane.

Gcina isikhumba sakho sihlanzekile ukuvikela ukutheleleka. Geza ukusikeka nokukhuhla okuncane kahle ngensipho namanzi ahlanzekile. Ungasebenzisa insipho emincane elwa namagciwane.
