What to do if the groats bag is infected?

Grease bags usually do not cause any complaints. However, from a cosmetic point of view, the symptomless tumors are a problem for many of those affected. Grützbeutel can however become bacterially infected and then hurt very much.

A further indication of infection is a strong reddening and the secretion of purulent secretion from the grotto bag. If a bag of groats is infected, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible. The grotto bag itself should not be touched, squeezed or manipulated in any other way.

What to do if the groats bag has burst?

An inflamed or infected groin pouch can cause severe swelling in the affected tissue. Secretion accumulates in the resulting cavity, which increases the pressure on the tissue more and more. The grotto bag can then be felt as an impact-elastic knot.

If the pressure becomes too great, the groat bag can virtually burst and empty secretion to the outside. This is initially not serious and is perceived by those affected as beneficial, as the pain is then reduced by the swelling. However, a doctor should still be consulted, because if the groat bag is not removed, it can fill with secretion again and become inflamed.

What home remedies are available?

Gruetzbeutel cannot be treated with household remedies, although different household remedies are often recommended in various Internet portals. Therefore, at this point we can only refrain from such recommendations. Household remedies can do nothing against the groat bags and in the worst case even lead to complications.

Where can Grützbeutel be produced?

At the head there are mainly so-called trichilemmal cysts. These grotto sacs are usually formed on the hairy scalp due to a cornification disorder. An exact cause for the development of these grotto sacs is not known.

In rare cases, genetic defects seem to be responsible for the increased occurrence of these trichilemmal cysts.The bulging elastic groat bags can reach a diameter of 0.5 to 5 cm and can be moved as painless nodules under the scalp. On average, women are more frequently affected than men. The groat pouches do not necessarily have to be removed.

Especially very small groats bags are usually not disturbing and do not represent a cosmetic problem, as they are covered by the scalp hair. Large groat bags, on the other hand, should be removed if they disturb when lying down or are unaesthetic for the affected person. A removal must cover the entire cyst wall, as otherwise a cyst may reappear at the same place.

Groat sacs can also occur on the testicles, because there are also many sebaceous glands. Groat sacs on the testicles can be felt as small nodules in the skin. Many men are frightened by such a palpable finding, because often a malignant cause is thought of first.

At the same time, groats bags are not at all so rare also in this region. A urologist can also detect a groat pouch and remove it immediately if necessary. The back is a common location for groat sacs.

These are epidermoid cysts which are caused by obstruction of the excretory duct of a sebaceous gland. The cells of the sebaceous gland continue to grow against a closed resistance, so that a cyst develops. Frequently, grotto sacs are formed on the back during acne.

The excessive production of sebum and keratinization of the skin, which is the result of acne, quickly leads to blocked sebaceous glands. Salt bags can also develop easily. Usually there are several groats bags on the back and other parts of the body.

Just infected bags should be removed. The neck is one possible location for a groat pouch in addition to other parts of the body, since there are also many sebaceous glands here. The groat pouch can be felt as a small, bulging knot and can be moved.

An important differential diagnosis in this body region is a swollen lymph node. However, groats sacs are located far more superficially than lymph nodes and look different in the clinical examination, so that a physician can quickly distinguish what it is. At the neck, grotto sacs can become a mechanical strain.

They can sometimes reach a size of up to 5 cm and thus interfere with lying or dressing. It can be both an epidermoid and a trichilemmal cyst. Finally, neck pouches are also a cosmetic problem for many affected persons.

A grotto sac can also become inflamed. It can be removed at any time. A grotto bag can also develop near the eye.

It should not be confused with a grain of barley. The painful barleycorn is located at the edge of the eyelid and leads to redness and swelling. In addition, pus can be discharged from the barleycorn.

A grotto bag on the eye, on the other hand, is initially a painless swelling that does not discharge any secretion. However, manipulation of the groat pouch can also lead to inflammation. The bag of groats should be removed if possible.

On the ear, groats bags are usually located in the earlobe, since many sebaceous glands are located there. They can be felt as a hard swelling and can usually be moved under the skin surface. They often disturb the affected persons, so that they involuntarily grasp the spot. As a result, groats bags can easily become inflamed and lead to a throbbing pain in the earlobe. If you suffer from inflamed bags on the earlobe again and again, you should think about having the bag removed
