Seal under the arm in the child

Shishka armpit in the child appears for various reasons. Often this indicates an inflammation of the lymph node. The most common reason for the formation of compaction under the arm is a purulent disease in the apocrine sweat glands. They are located mainly in the armpits. Such compaction under the mouse is called hydradenitis.

The first sign of the onset of the disease is the appearance of a feeling of discomfort, which later becomes a burning and itching sensation. The kid tries all the time to open the axillary cavity, scratch, rub the itchy place. From this discomfort only increases. As a result, the baby becomes irritable, often naughty, crying.

After a certain period there is a slight reddening and a ball under the arm. With close examination, small, tight nodules become noticeable. Touching them causes the baby's pain.

With the course of the disease, the nodules grow in size, bulge over the skin, swell. The compaction under the arm becomes more painful, so the child is forced to keep his hand constantly elevated.

The main cause of the disease is insufficient hygiene. In the absence of bathing every day in the armpits begins to accumulate dirt, worn out skin cells, remnants of sweat. In such conditions, staphylococcus develops favorably. In the process of its reproduction, the microbe, spreading over a vast skin area, affects the excretory ducts in the sweat glands. This also contributes to the development of inflammation.

Children who do not like to wash their hands are affected by hydradenitis. This is due to the fact that staphylococcus on the hands also inhabits. Having scratched under his arm with dirty hands, the child facilitates the task of microbes to penetrate them into the body.

Sealing under the arm on the background of hydradenitis can often be caused by wearing too tight clothes. In this case, things are tightened and rubbed, resulting in the skin being damaged. Microbes also penetrate through these microtraumas without hindrance.

Very unprofitable children are predisposed to the development of the disease and with weakened immunity. With physical overloads, eating disorders, as well as a deficiency in the body A, E, C vitamins often develop hydradenitis.

When the first signs of an illness manifest, an examination with the doctor is required. The specialist accurately diagnoses the disease and prescribes the necessary therapy.

The area of the skin near the seal with nodules should be lubricated every day with camphor alcohol. It is acceptable to use salicylic alcohol or 2% boric alcohol. Also used bandages, impregnated with Vishnevsky ointment. In some cases, antipyretic, anesthetic medicines are prescribed.
