Amathumba

Ithumba yisifo esithinta amaqembu wezinwele nezicubu zesikhumba eziseduze.

Izimo ezihlobene zifaka phakathi i-folliculitis, ukuvuvukala kwesikhumba esisodwa noma eziningi zezinwele, kanye ne-carbunculosis, ukutheleleka kwesikhumba okuvame ukufaka iqembu lezintambo zezinwele.

Amathumba ajwayelekile kakhulu. Zivame ukubangelwa amagciwane I-Staphylococcus aureus. Zingabangelwa ezinye izinhlobo zebhaktheriya noma isikhunta esitholakala ebusweni besikhumba. Ukulimala kwesikhumba sezinwele kuvumela ukuthi ukutheleleka kukhule kujule ku-follicle nezicubu ezingaphansi kwaso.

Amathumba angavela ezinhlakeni zezinwele noma kuphi emzimbeni. Zivame kakhulu ebusweni, entanyeni, ekhwapheni, ezinqeni nasemathangeni. Ungaba nethumba elilodwa noma amaningi. Isimo singenzeka kanye kuphela noma kungaba yinkinga ehlala isikhathi eside (engapheli).

Ithumba lingaqala njengethenda, libomvu ngokubomvu, futhi livuvuke, endaweni eqinile yesikhumba. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kuzozwakala njengebhaluni eligcwele amanzi noma i-cyst.

Ubuhlungu buba bubi njengoba bugcwala ubomvu nezicubu ezifile. Ubuhlungu buyancipha lapho amathumba ephuma. Ithumba lingaziphumela lodwa. Kaningi, amathumba adinga ukuvulwa ukukhipha.

Izimpawu eziyinhloko zamathumba zifaka:

• Isigaxa esilingana nepea, kepha singase sibe sikhulu njengebhola legalufu
• Isikhungo esimhlophe noma esiphuzi (ama-pustules)
• Spread kwezinye izindawo zesikhumba noma ujoyine namanye amathumba
• Ukukhula okusheshayo
• Ukukhala, ukuqhuma, noma ukuqhekeka

Ezinye izimpawu zingafaka:

• Ukukhathala
• Imfiva
• Ukungazizwa kahle
• Ukulunywa ngaphambi kwamathumba
• Ukubomvu kwesikhumba okuzungeze amathumba

Umhlinzeki wezokunakekelwa kwempilo ngokuvamile angaxilonga ithumba ngokuya ngokuthi libukeka kanjani. Isampula lamaseli avela emathunjini angathunyelwa ebhodini ukuze uthole isiko lokufuna i-staphylococcus noma amanye amabhaktheriya.

Amathumba angaziphilisa ngokwawo ngemuva kwesikhathi sokulunywa nobuhlungu obumnene. Kaningi, ziba buhlungu kakhulu njengoba ubomvu busanda.

Amathumba ngokuvamile adinga ukuvula nokukhipha ukuze elapheke. Lokhu kwenzeka kakhulu kungakapheli amasonto ama-2. Kumele:

• Beka okufudumele, okunomanzi, okucindezelayo ngamathumba kaningana ngosuku ukusheshisa ukukhipha nokuphulukisa.
• Ungalokothi ulikhame ithumba noma uzame ukulisika ulivule ekhaya. Lokhu kungasabalalisa ukutheleleka.
• Qhubeka nokufaka okufudumele, okumanzi, ukucindezela endaweni ngemuva kokuvuleka kwamathumba.

Ungadinga ukuthi uhlinzwe ukukhipha amathumba ajulile noma amakhulu. Thola ukwelashwa kumhlinzeki wakho uma:

• Ithumba lihlala isikhathi eside kunamasonto ama-2.
• Ithumba liyabuya.
• Unethumba emgogodleni wakho noma maphakathi nobuso bakho.
• Unemfiva noma ezinye izimpawu ngamathumba.
• Ithumba lidala ubuhlungu noma ukungaphatheki kahle.

Kubalulekile ukugcina amathumba ehlanzekile. Ukwenza lokhu:

• Hlanza amathumba futhi ushintshe ukugqoka kwabo kaningi.
• Geza izandla zakho kahle ngaphambi nangemva kokuthinta ithumba.
• UNGAYisebenzisi kabusha noma wabelane ngendwangu yokugeza noma amathawula. Geza izingubo, izindwangu zokugeza, amathawula, namashidi noma ezinye izinto ezithinte izindawo ezinegciwane emanzini ashisayo.
• Phonsa okokugqoka okusetshenzisiwe esikhwameni esivaliwe ukuze uketshezi oluphuma emathunjini lungathinti noma yini enye.

Umhlinzeki wakho angakunikeza ama-antibiotics ukuthi awathathe ngomlomo noma ngokudubula, uma amathumba ebi kakhulu noma ebuya.

Insipho yama-antibacterial kanye nokhilimu abakwazi ukusiza kakhulu lapho sekuvele ithumba.

Abanye abantu banezifo eziphindaphindwayo ezibilisa amathumba futhi abakwazi ukuwavimbela.

Amathumba ezindaweni ezifana nomsele wendlebe noma ikhala kungaba buhlungu kakhulu.

Amathumba akheka ngokusondelana angakhula futhi ahlangane, abangele isimo esibizwa nge-carbunculosis.

Lezi zinkinga zingenzeka:

• Ithumba lesikhumba, umgogodla, ubuchopho, izinso, noma esinye isitho
• Ukutheleleka kobuchopho
• Ukutheleleka kwenhliziyo
• Ukutheleleka kwamathambo
• Ukutheleleka kwegazi noma izicubu (sepsis)
• Ukutheleleka komgogodla
• Ukusabalala kokutheleleka kwezinye izingxenye zomzimba noma kwesikhumba
• Isibazi esihlala njalo

Shayela umhlinzeki wakho uma amathumba:

• Vele ebusweni bakho noma emgogodleni
• Buya
• Ungapholi ngokwelashwa kwasekhaya kungakapheli isonto elilodwa
• Kwenzeka kanye nomkhuhlane, izintambo ezibomvu eziphuma ku-sore, ukwakheka okukhulu koketshezi endaweni, noma ezinye izimpawu zokutheleleka
• Imbangela ubuhlungu noma ukungakhululeki

Okulandelayo kungasiza ekuvimbeleni ukusabalala kwesifo:

• Izinsipho zokulwa namagciwane
• I-Antiseptic (ukubulala amagciwane) iyageza
• Ukuzigcina uhlanzekile (njengokugeza izandla ngokuphelele)

I-Furuncle

• I-anatomy yesikhumba sezinwele
