Truth About INFECTED Gouty Tophi...

Gouty Tophi is the accumulation of urate crystal deposits underneath the skin, usually it won't cause any infection or serious pain. But if the growth of the tophus lump is not contained, it will grows to a stage in which the pressure within is strong enough to burst and leave an open wound which is the beginning of infection. 

Another situation is the patient himself cannot stand having a lump on the feet that makes it inconvenient to walk or even wear a shoes, he will go to a doctor or DIY himself to poke a hole on the lump to squeeze out the white milky urate crystal fluid, if it this procedure is not handled properly, the patient may risk getting an infected gouty tophus. 



Unlike the other types of skin open wounds that are caused by external factors such as scratching or cut, gouty tophi wound is unique because the actual wound is larger than you can see on the surface. This is because gouty tophi grow from inside, it has already beat a pathway through the muscle or epidermis tissues, this make it easier for the bacteria to travel deeper if it comes in through the open wound. 

The condition will be worse if the gout patient is also long term diabetic and is already has signs of diabetic neuropathy. That means the blood circulation around the infected gouty tophi is not good enough to supply ample amount of oxygen and nutrients for the white blood cells to fight the battle. 

Gouty tophi may not be deadly, but it definitely cause a certain level of discomfort to the patient's life. It's better to take active steps in try to dissolve the gouty tophi from inside or prevent the formation of it through natural ways. Don't wait until it has grown big and hard then only you think of way to remove it. Honestly, there is still no surgery that can 100% remove gouty tophi.

How Temperature Affects The Formation of Gouty Tophi?

Have you ever wondered why gouty tophy only found on certain parts of the body such as earlobe, fingers, elbow, knee, and almost only on the surface of the skin. Before I explain about this phenomena, I have to briefly discuss about the heat regulation of human body. Every cell in the body does generate energy and some heat in the process of metabolism, but for a healthy human body, majority of the body heat is generated in organs that are constantly working such as heart, liver, and brain, thus the center of heat is in the torso and and middle of the head. But there must be some channels for the body to dissipate excess heat in order to maintain the body temperature at 37.5 degree Celsius.  The 3 Channels of Body Heat Dissipation Heat Distribution Put a hand close to your mouth or nose and then slow breathe out, you can feel the warm air blowing on you hand, that is heat dispersion through breathing. If you dare, try to collect your pee in a paper cup and then dip...

How Can Gouty Tophi Be Dissolved Naturally?

The answer is... YES! But it's going to take as much time as the gouty tophus took to form to the current stage. Take a look a the video below to get an idea that gouty tophi can be dissolved naturally. But before we can talk about dissolving the existing gouty tophi, we have to focus how to stop the further formation or growth of the tophi FIRST.

Can I Take Colchicine and Ibuprofen Together?

Do you believe that we have survival instincts? Surely, this is one of the controversial psychological and physiological topic that garnered controversy. Nowadays, it is almost explainable by a solid scientific proof. Pain and stress are two of the aspects of our fight-and-flight mechanism that can force us to do something about what is causing them. At times, they come as a powerful combination when pain is the root cause of stress. However, there can be these unfortunate times that no matter how much we desire to remove the pain, we can do nothing. One such instance is during gout attacks. Surely enough, the pain indicates that something is not supposed to be in there, but we are left helpless. We can’t just cut our limbs off to remove the pain. Hence, the idea of taking multiple medications to ease the pain was born (even if those medications were not prescribed at all). This article aims to answer the question “can I take colchicine and ibuprofen together?” ...
