can superficial thrombophlebitis in the leg cause noticeable swelling? if it causes swelling, should the vein be removed?
swelling is one of the symptoms of superficial phlebitis. the area is often very tender to touch, warm and red. it is best to have the acute inflammation treated and then explore your options for definitive treatment. see more...
varicose veins are visible and sometimes raised veins that tend to appear on the leg. they are generally not malignant unless they cause extreme discomfort. in most cases, though, varicose veins and their smaller cousins spider veins (miniature varicose veins that appear closer to the surface of the skin) are purely a cosmetic issue. bluish or black in appearance, they look like a sketch of a tree erupting on the thigh.&nbsp;

advertisementwhat causes varicose veins?&nbsp;

varicose veins a… Good afternoon, thank you for asking at HealthReplies.com. Cantengan, or also known in English as ingrown nail, is a condition of inflammation, swelling, redness and pain that is usually at the corners of the fingertips, due to the growth of nails that protrude into and hurt the skin. This condition is most common in toenails, especially in those who have curved or thick toenails.



  

Among the triggers for this condition are:







Cut the nails too short or penetrate to the edge of the nail  

The shape of the nail is like a fan or curved and wide  

Sweaty feet  

Genetic and hereditary factors  

Poor foot hygiene  

Use tight and narrow footwear  

Foot injury







  

Regarding your question, this condition is treated not with medication, but with a small surgical pathway because the embedded nail must be removed, whether it is removed only partially or completely, it will depend on the condition of each person. Even if given medication, it is only a pain reliever and antibiotics to avoid infection, and if the nails have not been operated on, obviously the problem still exists.



  

Therefore what we want to convey is that it is natural that the treatment is not effective if only given drugs. Our advice, this time check your condition at the surgeon for surgery. And if you use health insurance, you can check with the health center first to get a referral to a surgeon. If you have had surgery, and this is an infection that occurs after surgery, you still need to see a doctor because handling antibiotics requires doctor supervision and the drug should not be purchased freely. Meanwhile, continue to consume drugs regularly, limit physical activity using the feet. So, hopefully answering your question. Hi Nur,



  

Thank you for asking HealthReplies.com.











Maybe you mean TB lymphadenitis (tuberculosis).



  

Mycobacterium tuberculosis can indeed infect a variety of organ systems, including the lymph nodes. These bacteria usually enter through the respiratory tract, especially in people who come in close contact with other TB sufferers, children, the elderly, and people with poor immune system. Under normal conditions, this lymph node functions as a haven and proliferation of white blood cells in warding off infections, including TB infection. However, along with its development, this lymph node itself can actually become infected, so that arises lymphadenitis. Clinically, TB lymphadenitis sufferers will experience lumps (often in the neck, armpits, or groin) that are round, smooth, springy, and often feel painful, especially when pressed. Not only that, TB lymphadenitis can also make sufferers experience fever, excessive sweating, weight gain is difficult to rise, weakness, fatigue, and various other complaints.



  

Handling TB lymphadenitis is done by giving OAT (anti-TB drugs) that must be consumed by sufferers for at least 6 consecutive months. Every month, the patient will be re-evaluated by a doctor to assess his responsiveness to the treatment given. After more than 2 months of treatment, complaints will generally improve slowly.



  

However, you need to know, that the treatment of TB lymphadenitis must also be accompanied by appropriate natural treatments, including those related to diet, regulation of activities, and also lifestyle modification. This inadequate treatment is likely to make your mother appear to be undergoing improvement despite long-term treatment. It could also, the slow healing process occurs due to the non-optimal resistance of your mother's body, resistance (immunity) of bacteria to the treatment given, as well as a variety of other factors. Compared with other complaints. lumps in lymph nodes due to TB lymphadenitis often will indeed not disappear completely, even though the patient's status has recovered from illness.



  

The itching that your mother is experiencing right now could be a side effect of the OAT she is taking. It could also, this itching occurs due to other reasons, for example allergies, skin irritation, infections, disorders of liver function, disorders of the thyroid gland, dry skin, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and so on.



  

Our advice, you check your mother back to the doctor or a specialist in internal medicine in order to get the right treatment. Meanwhile, at home, help your mother do the following steps:







Take OAT as recommended by your doctor  

Give your mother healthy and nutritious food, containing rich calories and protein  

Give him too much to drink  

Let your mother take a break from exhausting activities  

Accompany him to exercise  

Create a clean, well-ventilated and well-lit environment  

If you or someone else around your mother shows symptoms of TB infection, see your doctor directly to treat them properly



Hope this helps ... consider following
a. x ray of the foot, to rule out osteomyelitis, if present needs to be dealt 
b. radical debridement
c. npwt 
d. strict glycemic control and sugar charting daily.
d. routine blood investigation
e. doppler study of both lower limb.
f. considering her morbidities, skin grafting can be done to cover the wound. 
g. modified pmr footwear to be advised.
h. regular follow and educationon of the patient to avoid any trivial trauma in future.
i to do amputation at this stage, is very early. but yeah if there is recurrent ulceration, patient is not keeping glycemic control and if other morbidities present(cardiac and or renal), patient is not regular on follow up, amputation can be considered later. 
j. most important thing remember your patient is diabetic, dnt forget to evaluate cardiac system, renal, and ophthalmology to stage and manage other systemic issues in diabetes. primarily pt has got phimosis and due to friction developed cracked fore skin with super added infection.
pt should go for blood sugar and hba1c test to see really diabetic or not because these sorts ailment common with the diabetic patients.
initially treatment of infection with
antibiotic broad spectrum
to clean the part and dried up application of mipurocin ointment 
once the infection is controlled
plan for curcumcission some swelling during pregnancy can be normal, but if it happened all the sudden, and it's in your face, it could be that your blood pressure has spiked. i would definately get to a doctor right away or at least get someone to take your blood pressure and see if it's up. high blood pressure during pregnancy can lead to pre-eclampsia, which is dangerous for you and your baby if nothing is done about it. call your birthing center and let them know about your swelling. headaches, blurry vision, flashes of light, etc., are other symptoms that shouldn't be ignored. if it is your blood pressure, they will probably put you on bedrest, and you will have to lay on your left side. good luck!!! i had preeclampsia and my baby and i were both fine, so try not to be scared, but do see someone just to be sure that's not the case! like i said, some swelling can be normal, but definately get it checked out. Sometimes yes. But let your doctor know. td, i’m not sure exactly what it is. it sounds like it might be lipomas, but it’s difficult to say without being able to examine you. if they are lipomas, the only way to remove them will be surgery. the best would be to see your doctor and have a proper diagnosis made. good luck. Hello Gita Amalia,  

Keloids are caused by an overgrowth of the connective tissue involved in the wound healing process.



not everyone will experience keloids, and usually this condition is related to genetic / hereditary factors.



So if someone has parents with a history of keloids, then types of wounds such as burns, scratches including asphalt, surgical scars and even piercings can potentially cause keloids.



But don't worry, because keloids can be removed in several ways, for example by periodically applying silicone gel, using lasers, or other therapies under the supervision of a doctor.



so hopefully useful
