Ithumba lesikhumba

Ithumba lesikhumba lakhiwa ubovu ngaphakathi noma esikhunjeni.

Amathumba esikhumba ajwayelekile futhi athinta abantu bayo yonke iminyaka. Zenzeka lapho ukutheleleka kubangela ukuthi ubovu buqoqane esikhunjeni.

Amathumba esikhumba kungenzeka ngemuva kokuthuthuka:

• Ukutheleleka kwamagciwane (imvamisa i-staphylococcus)
• Inxeba elincane noma ukulimala
• Amathumba
• I-folliculitis (ukutheleleka kusihluthulelo sezinwele)

Ithumba lesikhumba kungenzeka noma kuphi emzimbeni.

Izimpawu zingafaka:

• Imfiva noma ukubanda, kwezinye izimo
• Ukuvuvukala kwasendaweni okuzungeze indawo enegciwane
• Izicubu zesikhumba eziqinile
• Isilonda sesikhumba okungaba yisilonda esivulekile noma esivaliwe noma indawo ephakanyisiwe
• Ububomvu, isisa, nokufudumala endaweni
• Uketshezi oludonsa amanzi noma ubovu

Umhlinzeki wakho wokunakekelwa kwezempilo angathola inkinga ngokubheka indawo ethintekile. Amapayipi avela kulesi sifo angathunyelwa ebhodini lesiko. Lokhu kungasiza ukukhomba imbangela yokutheleleka.

Ungafaka ukushisa okumanzi (njengokucindezela okufudumele) ukusiza ukuphuma kwethumba kuphulukise ngokushesha. UNGANGIPHUSI ulikhame kuthumba.

Umhlinzeki wakho angavula ithumba alikhiphe. Uma lokhu kwenziwa:

• Umuthi wokukhwabanisa uzofakwa esikhunjeni sakho.
• Izinto zokupakisha zingashiywa enxebeni ukulisiza liphole.

Ungadinga ukuthatha ama-antibiotic ngomlomo ukulawula ukutheleleka.

Uma une-methicillin-resistant I-Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) noma olunye ukutheleleka kwe-staph, landela imiyalo yokuzinakekela ekhaya.

Amathumba amaningi esikhumba angalapheka ngokwelashwa okufanele. Izifo ezibangelwa yi-MRSA ziphendula kuma-antibiotic athile.

Izinkinga ezingenzeka ku-abscess zifaka:

• Ukusabalala kokutheleleka endaweni efanayo
• Ukusabalala kokutheleleka egazini nakuwo wonke umzimba
• Ukufa kwezicubu (ukubola)

Shayela umhlinzeki wakho uma unezimpawu zokutheleleka kwesikhumba, kufaka phakathi:

• Ukugeleza kwanoma yiluphi uhlobo
• Imfiva
• Ubuhlungu
• Ububomvu
• Ukuvuvukala

Shayela umhlinzeki wakho khona manjalo uma uba nezimpawu ezintsha ngesikhathi noma ngemuva kokwelashwa kwethumba lesikhumba.

Gcina isikhumba esizungeze amanxeba amancane sihlanzekile futhi somile ukuvikela ukutheleleka. Shayela umhlinzeki wakho uma ubona izimpawu zokutheleleka. Nakekela izifo ezincane ngokushesha.
