As summer approaches and the weather gets hot, it is easy to sweat. If not properly cared for, it can easily lead to "yellow water blisters". Below, I will introduce the Chinese medicine treatment for yellow water blisters.
[What are yellow water blisters?]
Yellow water blisters, also known as "contagious pustular disease", are a common and contagious superficial skin infection that can be transmitted through contact.
This disease is prone to occur on the lips and corners of the mouth, and the course of the disease lasts about a week, with a tendency to recur. The patient's skin usually presents as blisters, pustules that are prone to rupture, yellowish discharge, and subsequent formation of scabs.
The main pathogenic bacteria of yellow water blisters are coagulase-positive staphylococcus aureus, and another pathogenic bacteria is type B hemolytic streptococcus. In addition, a small number of yellow water blister patients are infected with coagulase-negative white staphylococcus.
Mixed infection of staphylococcus and streptococcus is also not uncommon in clinical practice. Based on different clinical manifestations, yellow water blisters can be roughly divided into two types: large bullous and non-bullous pustular impetigo.
[Can yellow water blisters heal on their own?]
Yellow water blisters can heal on their own, but if no measures are taken for diagnosis, treatment, and care, the treatment process of yellow water blisters will be prolonged, and patients will suffer greater pain.
Therefore, in order to speed up the recovery of yellow water blisters, it is best to seek medical treatment in a timely manner.
