Can infection transfer from little's area in nose? - Dr. Satish Babu K

Описание: Little’s area is the lower most region of the nasal septum that is the partition, which is of cartilaginous nature, not just the front part. It is bout one and a half to 2 cms deeper inside and that is more concerned with having nasal bleed, not mostly with infection, whereas the area which is lined with skin, that is the vestibule of the nose, and that is more concerned with infections that can happen in the body. That can act as a reservoir of some reservoir of some specific bacteria by picking the nose and the tissues or towels in the nose and they are not allowing the some material to contact with the rest of the body skin can transfer the infection to some susceptible situation, you can get infected. Mostly it is the staphylococcus which causes the small boils or furuncles what are called. Those are harbored in the nasal cavity vestibules. So first we have to keep that area clean, not to dig the nose more frequently keep blowing that area basically if the skin is healthy, the colonization is limited but if the area is repeatedly traumatized, or injured, then the colonization becomes more common. So avoid nose picking and spreading the infection from one place to the other. Same goes with the ear also, so if you don’t stopping ear buds also. So then you won’t have a chance to spread the infection from the nasal vestibule to the rest of the body.
