Facial carbuncles are a serious reason to contact a specialized specialist
Carbuncles can form anywhere on the body. Facial neoplasms are especially dangerous. This pathology is caused by an inflammatory process taking place in the hair follicles or sebaceous glands located nearby. It is accompanied by the formation of purulent exudate in large quantities, followed by necrosis of the skin, subcutaneous fatty tissue. In fact, the carbuncle of the face is the fusion of several boils. Unlike the latter, it is characterized by the presence of a number of symptoms of infection, intoxication.
The main causative agents of the inflammatory process: staphylococci, streptococci, sometimes a mixture of both pathogenic organisms. In some cases, Escherichia coli play this role. Chronic diseases accompanied by metabolic disorders, obesity, severe infections, exhaustion, etc., also contribute to the appearance of carbuncles on the face.
General symptoms accompanying the appearance of a carbuncle on the face:
- hyperemia of the skin around the lesion;
- soreness in the affected area;
- fever;
- decreased or complete lack of appetite, nausea, vomiting
Carbuncles located on the face most often require surgical intervention. Such manipulations are performed by the maxillofacial surgeon. The price of treatment depends on many factors, because additional antibiotic therapy will be required.
Residents of the CIS countries today can use medical services of any nature in Israeli clinics. Here, the quality of medicine is much higher, and prices stand out favorably against the background of clinics in other countries.
Treatment and diagnostics of facial carbuncles in Israel
The service of diagnostics of facial carbuncles in Israel involves a number of activities. Among them are not only external examination, but also blood tests for:

A complete blood count is necessary to assess the volume of the inflammatory process. It is also mandatory to examine the contents of the carbuncle of the face. It allows you to identify the pathogen, on the basis of which bacterial therapy will be selected.

It involves dissecting the affected area, removing purulent exudate, washing the wound and treating it with special means. Further, therapy is prescribed to promote healing, preventing relapse.
