In modern times, the sores on the back in ancient times were called carbuncle on the back. Carbuncle on the back is very common in the elderly with low immunity. Many elderly people will lose balance in their body systems because of diabetes, so bacteria outside their bodies will find opportunities to invade their bodies. Under the infection of bacteria, the skin on people's backs will bulge. This time is what we call carbuncle on the back.
The area of this carbuncle is very large, and sometimes a carbuncle grows on half of the back. The carbuncle on the back feels hard, and the skin will be keratinized for a long time, so it is inevitable.
After a person grows carbuncle, there will be a lot of pus on his back. It is very inconvenient to work and rest at ordinary times. When he lies down, he will feel extremely painful. Besides the pain in the back, carbuncle on the back will affect the whole body.
After carbuncle grows on the back of the elderly, they will be affected by many things, such as dizziness, thirst, nausea, fear of cold and heat, uncontrolled vomiting during eating, and even unconsciousness and cough. In ancient times, ice was very scarce. If you have carbuncle on your back in summer, although hot water also has a certain therapeutic effect, you should think that on that hot day, there is no air conditioner and no electric fan, and you have to put a plate of hot water on your back from time to time. This kind of heat is unbearable for many old people, so the carbuncle mortality rate on your back in ancient times is unimaginable for us modern people.
