Freckles, Carbuncles and Boils

By Charley Hwang

We all heard of acne before but how about freckles, boils and carbuncles. It is not far away from acne problem and some of us do not even know it. Freckles, boils and carbuncles are more like skin disorder that are yucky in certain cases.

I will start off with freckles which it is a brown spot on the skin due to the skin being exposed to the sun. Skins are sensitive to ultra violet rays thus freckles appear on it when we are in the sun for a long time without protection. Freckles are categorized as 6f in the skin disorder chart but it is not consider skin disease. However, there is natural remedy to this disorder. Firstly, Grind yellow mustard in milk and apply to the face during the night, wash your face the next morning. Secondly, Mix an equal quantity of turmeric and sesame seeds, grind in water and apply to the face. Lastly, Make a hole in the watermelon rind and put some grain of rice in it. Take the rice out after a week, grind and apply it to the face.

Boils are the results of bacterial infection of the hair follicles which occurs around areas covered with coarse hairs and also subject to mild repetition of friction. IT looks like a small red but painful nodule, increasing in size for a few days and become soft at the top of the skin discharges pulse. It usually runs its own course after a few weeks which no treatment required but it leaves a scar after healing. When boils are concentrated at the face which is large, antibiotic administration is needed to ensure it does not spread. If the boils appear on the nose or the upper lip, inside of the nose might get inflamed and might be accompanied by fever. There are some remedies that one can follow to reduce the effects of boils. Food intake must be taken care where sour and fatty foods should be avoided. Take watermelon as it cleanses the blood.

Carbuncles are a group of boils that are close together which may form a larger boil with several opening on its surface. Carbuncles are very painful especially in those areas which are close to the underlying tissue such as nose and skin. It strikes young adults which might also indicate a health problem such as diabetic. However, carbuncles are similar to boils which the remedy is also same. In this case, treatment should be administered to ensure the problem does not spread.

In conclusion, these problems might seem like normal pus growth but sometimes we might misinterpret and can be serious. Even worse if the infection goes to the brain and the damage might be unimaginable.
