“Furunkul undergoes the following phases of development: infiltration or edema – up to four days, fitting, melting of necrotic masses with a breakthrough of purulent content and debit of the so-called rod, actually, necrotized hair follicle – fifth-sixth day, healing step (scarring), The formation of connective tissue, “- explained the doctor.
he noted that the timing may vary depending on the reactivity of the body and the volume of lesion. The surgeon stated that the affected skin sections need to be processed by an antiseptic and isolate it from the environment.
