Not only an aesthetic problem – but a very painful: sweat gland inflammation!
Things to know about sweat glands: the temperature regulators.
Not just an aesthetic problem – but a very painful one: sweat gland inflammation! Would you have guessed this number? About 3 million sweat glands are distributed on the human body. The forehead, palms and soles of the feet are particularly densely populated. There are two types of sweat glands: those that are located freely in the skin and those that are attached to hair follicles. Sweat glands secrete sweat and thus ensure that the skin is moisturized. Their most important function is to regulate body temperature. Example: When it gets hot we sweat, the sweat evaporates on the skin, cooling the surface of the body.
Possible causes of sweat gland inflammation:
- Smoking: Many sufferers are smokers
- Obesity: Leads to increased moisture and softening of the skin due to layers of skin on top of each other.
- Tight clothing: Damage to skin cells due to friction.
- Diabetes: weakens the immune system.
- Male hormones: increase the production of sebum and thus the faster clogging of the sebaceous glands-excretory ducts.
- Bacteria: Are not causally involved, but significantly affect the severity of the disease process.
Tip
Do not immediately consent to “hard” treatment attempts such as antibiotics or even surgical removal, but favor treatment with a proven, green, herbal tensile ointment. Useful info can also be found by sufferers on the website www.ilon-salbe-classic.de
Clogged sebaceous glands: sweat glands can become inflamed
Sweat glands can become inflamed. Cause: due to a cornification disorder of the sebaceous gland, there is an obstruction of the execution channel. Normally, the sebaceous glands secrete sebum through this channel to keep the skin supple and prevent it from drying out. If this channel is blocked, the hair roots and the sebaceous glands fill up more and more with horny material. If such a congestion of secretion occurs in the body, it can also more easily lead to inflammation. Infection by bacteria such as staphylococci then occurs, and painful inflammatory nodules containing pus form. As a result, a painful skin abscess (also called a boil) can develop – especially in the armpits, on the back of the head, on the back, and in the genital and anal areas. Larger skin abscesses may result in restricted movement due to the pain. Risk factors for sweat gland inflammation can be, for example, a weakened immune system due to stress or malnutrition or diabetes. These circumstances can favor the formation of sweat gland inflammation because the immune system does not function as well as usual due to the weakening.
Difficult: the right treatment
Treating sweat gland inflammation can be difficult. Surgical procedures to remove the nodules or treatment with antibiotics usually have an effect only for a short time. Reason: The surgeon cannot remove everything that can become infected, and antibiotics cannot prevent subsequent re-infection. As a rule, skin abscesses return. In addition, healed lumps can leave scars. Antibiotics also do not necessarily always heal the infection completely.
