Pimples 🙂

What is a pimple?

A pimple is a small pustule or papule. With a shorter definition, it can be considered as red and tender bumps with white pus at their tips.

Pimples are usually self-treatable and self-diagnosable. That is imaging and lab tests not required.

It could be short-term: resolves within a days or weeks.

Consulting a doctor for medical advice could be very helpful. ❣️

How are pimples gotten?

Pimples are gotten as a result of overproduction of oil and a build up of bacteria. Areas of the skin often affected by pimples and have the largest number of functional oil glands are ; the face, neck, chest, back and shoulders.

Pimples develop when sebaceous (oil) glands become clogged and infected, leading to swollen red lesions filled with pus.

Pimples, also known as spots or zits are a part of acne. Pimples are most likely to occur around puberty, but they can happen at any age(meaning it’s not a generation sort of thing.)

Acne occurs when pores of your skin become blocked with oil, dead skin or more often bacteria. Each pore of your skin is the opening to a follicle which is made up of hair and a sebaceous (oil) gland. The oil gland releases a sebum(oil) which travels up the hair, out of the pore, and onto your skin.

Is it better to pop a zit or leave it?

Popping it can lead to the pimple becoming more red, inflammed, swollen and infected and possibly lead to permanent scarring. “It’s best to let a pimple run through it’s life span” Rice says. Left alone, a blemish will heal itself in 3 to 7days. Popped improperly can linger for weeks or lead to permanent scarring.

Eight effective ways to stop or reduce pimples.

1. Properly wash your face: To help prevent pimples, it’s important to remove excess oil, dirt and sweat daily. You can do that by washing your face regularly using face wash and clean water.

2. Know your skin type: Anyone can get pimples no matter their skin type (meaning it’s not a generation sort of thing.)

3. Moisturize skin: Blue seal Vaseline could be helpful in this case. Apply before sleeping.

4. Use over-the-counter acne treatments

5. Stay hydrated.

6. Limit makeup: sleeping with make up causes pimples.

7. Avoid touching your face.

8. Limit sun ⛅ exposure.
