Regardless of adolescents or adults, acne will develop, and some people will habitually squeeze, but this action can have serious consequences. There is a 23-year-old woman surnamed Chen in Fujian, China. She used needles to squeeze her acne in the past, which resulted in a face infection. She finally had 6 stitches and is currently recovering.
Chen Nv revealed that at first, a small lump like skin grew on her face, so she took an acne needle and wanted to puncture the lump. “It didn’t break, but it became inflamed.” , Unexpectedly, the anti-inflammatory did not work, and I was allergic, and then I applied aloe vera gel, but it still did not work, and it became more and more serious, so I had to go to the doctor. The doctor diagnosed it as an epidermoid cyst, and asked her to go home to relieve the inflammation before follow-up. She made an appointment for surgery and sutured two layers of 6 stitches. “The first layer is absorbable thread, and the second layer is non-absorbable.”
Chen Nv admitted that she was infected at the end of May last year, but due to various reasons, she did not have time to go to the doctor until this summer vacation, and warned that if there are people in the same situation as her, they really go to the hospital for medical treatment and do not go to the hospital by themselves. Pop pimples at home.
Why is it not recommended to pop pimples? Yang Shuxia, chief physician of the Department of Dermatology and Venereal Diseases, Peking University First Hospital, explained that acne prone areas include the head, face, upper chest, and upper back, which are places that secrete more oil. In addition, the upper arms, thighs, and buttocks will also grow and cause acne. The degree of acne has little to do with daily status. The biggest influencing factor is heredity. There are also some local factors, such as hot clothes due to work, high temperature work, etc., which may make acne worse. It may also be affected by some cosmetics or daily necessities, which will increase the clogged pores, and the sun will also increase the growth of acne.
Yang Shuxia pointed out that acne has several stages of reaction. In the early stage, the pores are only blocked, and the oil and the shed keratinocyte debris inside cannot be discharged, and then acne is formed. If it can be removed, it will not become “folliculitis”. ”, at this time it is not called squeezing, it is called “picking” acne. If folliculitis occurs, there will be serious pus. If the pus is drained, it will help to improve. It requires scientific and professional methods. If it is squeezed by hand, it may lead to the spread of inflammation and even lead to infection.
How to dare to treat acne? Yang Shuxia suggested that you can choose anti-keratin drugs to make the hair follicles open, such as exfoliating drugs and anti-inflammatory ointment. In the diet, avoid high-fat, high-calorie foods.
