Problematic skin needs special care. When hygiene is not maintained, the risk of a painful rash on the face increases. In addition to their unpleasant appearance, the growths cause severe physical discomfort.
With the accumulation of purulent contents in the lower layers, painful acne forms on the face. Eliminating them is quite difficult, since you need to identify the root cause of their appearance. A specialist can determine why the tumors have formed and prescribe appropriate treatment.
Causes
Initially, it is necessary to detect the provoking factor in the formation of an unpleasant rash on the face, due to which the therapy itself will become simpler and more effective.
It is advisable to consult with a highly qualified specialist rather than counteract the pathology yourself.
The following reasons can cause the appearance of painful acne:
- mechanical trauma to the skin (especially in the area of the nose or chin, where the inflammatory process occurs extremely often);
- overheating or hypothermia;
- improper compliance with hygiene rules;
- addictions (tobacco smoking, alcohol abuse);
- unbalanced diet;
- disturbances in the functioning of the endocrine system and central nervous system;
- hormonal imbalance, which is associated with age-related changes;
- allergy;
- genetic factor.
The above factors serve as concomitant circumstances for the formation of inflammation in the sebaceous glands. However, acne in all cases matures due to pathogenic microorganisms.
They live on everyone’s skin, but in the presence of a “favorable” environment they penetrate inside and provoke an inflammatory process, the treatment of which takes a long time.
There are a large number of types of rash, as well as causes. This must be taken into account when choosing treatment methods. On the other hand, identifying the provoking factor makes it possible to prevent the occurrence of a painful rash in the future.
Subcutaneous
A subcutaneous rash on the face occurs in stages: first, a slight thickening appears under the skin. It is characterized by pain and rapid growth.
Next, the inflammatory process and swelling are added. Such pimples take an extremely long time to mature, causing pain and discomfort. Sometimes the ripening process lasts 1-2 months. The rash is difficult to treat, and often leaves scars.
Reds
Papules - a red rash on the surface of the face is one of the most popular forms of acne. Minor, in some cases painful, affect approximately half of the facial skin and cause significant discomfort.
Domestic
In some cases, there are situations when foreign bacteria penetrate into the sebaceous glands. They mix with fatty acids, which produce sebaceous glands and clog the ducts.
Through them, sebum is secreted. As a result, an internal rash appears on the face.
The formation of a rash occurs in 2 stages: initially, compaction appears under the skin, redness and swelling. It rises above the skin up to 0.2 cm.
Then the affected area will be filled with purulent contents and the inflammation will turn white, which will indicate that the pimple has entered its final stage.
Structure of the boil
Painful acne on the face in all cases is associated with inflammation and suppuration. Such a rash is called a boil.
Its structure is as follows:
- after penetration of dirt into the ducts and disruption of sebum secretion, the inflammatory process begins;
- an abscess forms under the skin, which is surrounded by a membrane;
- it grows, in particular when bacteria appear in this place (this is how the body removes infected cells and prevents bacteria from entering the bloodstream);
- after 2 weeks, this growth opens through the skin and the purulent contents come out.
How to get rid
To eliminate this difficulty, complex therapy should be carried out. First of all, it is necessary to stop the inflammation.
At stage 2, it is necessary to normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands themselves. It is necessary to prevent the occurrence of possible adverse consequences.
Drug treatment
Drug therapy with general systemic drugs is carried out in a situation where the provoking factor for the appearance of a painful rash on the face is a viral infection or a malfunction in the functioning of internal organs.
Taking this into account, the specialist will select effective medications. When the rash is caused by harmful bacteria, antibiotics must be taken.
The most effective are considered:

Cosmetic procedures
In certain situations, the patient needs the help of a specialized specialist. This is assumed when the lesion is large enough and the rash is spread over the entire face.
The cosmetologist chooses the procedure taking into account the type of skin. During this procedure, it is necessary to normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands.
For minor inflammation, mesotherapy is performed. It involves the injection of anti-inflammatory drugs under the skin. In addition, injections of oxygen and ozone are effective.
Ripe pimples need to be removed. The doctor helps you do this without harming the skin.
It is possible to eliminate neoplasms in the process of implementing:
- disincrustation;
- mechanical cleaning;
- manual cleaning.
It is possible to prevent the possibility of inflammation through laser resurfacing or hard peeling.
Medical cosmetics
It is quite possible to accelerate the maturation, and therefore the treatment, of this rash.
The easiest way to do this is to apply the following medications to painful acne:
- clindovit, dalacin (antibiotics with bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects);
- levomekol (antimicrobial drug, healing and anti-inflammatory action);
- zinc, ichthyol, Vishnevsky ointment (disinfectants, anti-inflammatory agents that relieve discomfort and draw out pus).
These medications are quite effective and provide appropriate care to problematic skin.
Traditional methods
Traditional therapy offers various recipes for eliminating painful rashes on the face:
- Aloe juice draws pus out of pimples in the shortest possible time. Used as a compress to the damaged area.
- Regular steam baths with medicinal plants (for example, chamomile). The rash will mature and heal much faster.
- Washing with water and lemon juice in equal quantities.
Home Recipes
It is possible to carry out a large number of useful procedures at home:
- Infusion of salt. Take 2 tbsp. l. table salt. This salt dissolves in a glass of hot water. The mass is boiled, and then lotions are applied to the affected areas. They last for about 5 minutes.
- Sea salt. Daily baths with sea salt have a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin.
- Iodine. Painful pimples can be cauterized with iodine (prohibited for rashes on mucous membranes).
Therapy for facial rashes can be accelerated with anti-inflammatory masks and lotions that you prepare yourself:
- Aspirin and water. The medication tablet is crushed and dissolved in a small amount of water to a mushy mass. The mixture is applied directly to the pimple. Leaves on for 10 minutes, then rinses off.
- Syntomycin ointment. Mix with warm water and wipe the face, including inflamed areas, every day. The product helps to quickly restore damaged skin.
- Garlic. After treating your face with olive or vegetable oil, crushed garlic is applied to the damaged areas. Cover with gauze. The compress is kept for 20 minutes, after which the gauze is removed and the face is washed with chamomile infusion.
- Aloe. Pour 4-5 leaves of the plant into a glass of cold or mineral water. It is kept in water for about 60 minutes, then boiled. The infusion is cooled, the leaves are taken out and ground into a mushy state. The mass is applied to the face. Lasts approximately 15 minutes.
These recipes contribute to the speedy restoration of damaged areas of facial skin.
Prevention measures
A consultation with a doctor will make it possible to determine what was the initial cause of the painful rash on the face. Measures to prevent this unpleasant phenomenon are important.
To prevent pathology it is necessary:
- reconsider your lifestyle;
- adjust your diet, get rid of bad habits;
- follow hygiene rules;
- if necessary, treat with ozone therapy;
- use cosmetics of appropriate quality.
By following the above instructions, it is possible to prevent the appearance of painful acne on the surface of the face.
Often we are faced with the fact that quite painful pimples suddenly appear on our face. Why do painful pimples appear on the face and how to get rid of them? Let's try to figure it out.
Painful pimples under the skin appear due to the fact that for some reason the ducts of the sebaceous glands become inflamed. These types of acne have their own characteristics. They are dense nodes in which pus collects. In fact, these are cystic dense formations. You will not be able to squeeze out such painful pimples, which are located quite deep in the layers of the epidermis. In most cases they appear in the chin, forehead, nose, and cheeks.
In fact, acne can not only ruin our appearance and mood. Sick acne on the face is a sure signal that something is wrong in the body. Often they can even cause quite noticeable pain, especially when pressed. By the way, this should not be done. And in general, if you don’t want another pimple to pop up on your face, try to touch your skin less with unwashed hands. This makes it very easy to get an infection, which can cause inflammation.
If painful pimples appear on your face, this is not at all a reason for frustration. Now there are many effective ways to quickly get rid of it. The main thing is not to squeeze it out. This is the most dangerous way to deal with annoying acne. It may work faster than all the others, but at the same time you risk introducing even more infection under the skin and causing it to spread to healthy areas. In addition, after such “treatment”, very often ugly scars, cicatrices and blemishes remain on the face. It is better to lubricate painful pimples with special products. We'll name them a little later.
Internal acne on the face: causes
Are you wondering why internal acne appears on the face? Dermatologists have determined that acne on the face can be caused by:
- Poor hygiene. If you do not pay due attention to cleansing your facial skin or do it irregularly, then soon dirt, makeup residues and sebum begin to accumulate in the pores. Sebaceous plugs form. Bacteria from our skin get into them and begin to actively multiply there. An inflammatory process occurs and acne appears. This is why it is so important to cleanse your face regularly, once a day. To do this, choose a high-quality cosmetic product. It is better if it is from the same line as your cream. It can be a gel, foam for washing, and recently micellar water has become very popular. You should not wash your face with regular toilet soap. It is very drying and irritating to the skin.
- Cold. When we have a cold, our immune system becomes weaker. Because of this, she is no longer able to actively resist the penetration of infection.
- Hormonal imbalance in the body. Most often, hormonal surges occur during adolescence. Excessive amounts of the androgen hormone are produced. It stimulates the sebaceous glands in the epidermis. Excessive amounts of sebum are produced. This is why teenagers so often suffer from acne. But hormonal levels can also be disrupted in adulthood. Natural causes include pregnancy and menopause. Then you don’t have to worry about hormonal fluctuations. This is a natural process and soon everything will return to normal. A cause for concern should be hormonal fluctuations that are associated with diseases, for example, the endocrine system. In this case, consultation with an endocrinologist and systemic treatment will be required. There may also be problems with female sex hormones, in which case you will need to consult a gynecologist.
- Clogged skin pores. We've already mentioned that excessive sebum production can lead to clogged pores. A sebaceous plug collects in them, in which bacteria settle. The body sends leukocytes to fight them. It is because of their presence that a white cap appears in an inflamed pimple. Often, clogged pores are caused by hormonal imbalances and poor hygiene.
- Pus under the skin. It can lead to the formation of a fairly large and painful pimple under the skin layer. It is located on the duct of the sebaceous gland and blocks it.
- Problems with internal organs. Oddly enough, diseases of internal organs very often affect the skin. Most often these are gastrointestinal diseases. In such cases, sometimes it is enough to follow a special diet so that the rash goes away quickly and does not recur.
So how to get rid of internal acne? In order to defeat rashes and prevent them from returning again, it is very important to establish the exact cause of their appearance. If you yourself do not know this reason, then you should consult a dermatologist, and in some cases, a gastroenterologist, endocrinologist and gynecologist. Remember that if treated incorrectly, your skin will not be clear and healthy for a long time.
Note! The following negative factors can affect the appearance of painful acne:
- your body is overheated;
- you have a cold;
- hygiene rules were not observed;
- you have allergies;
- there are any lesions on the skin through which infection can penetrate into the deeper layers of the epidermis;
- there is a hereditary predisposition;
- your diet contains excess trans fats and carbohydrates;
- you often drink alcohol or smoke a lot.
But the main culprit is pathogenic microflora. It is present on the skin of each of us. If you do not take care of hygiene or there are wounds on the skin, it can soon penetrate into the skin and cause inflammation.
Symptoms
The clinical picture of the inflammatory process under the skin of the face looks like this:
- the patient feels pain;
- redness appears;
- you can feel lumps and lumps under the skin;
- an abscess forms.
Most often, the inflammatory process covers a period of one to two weeks. If you see a dermatologist, he can help you speed up the process. The main thing is not to squeeze out these formations, because this can help the infection spread to healthy areas. In the worst case, you can provoke blood poisoning.
How to take care of your skin if you have a pimple
If an internal pimple appears on the face, how to get rid of it? Don't wait for it to ripen. In order not to endure pain, discomfort and not suffer from the fact that your beauty is spoiled, start fighting immediately after it appears. Most often, the appearance of a pimple is indicated by a painful lump under the skin. This is a sure sign that a local inflammatory process has started. If you do not get treatment right away, the pain will continue to bother you for a long time. It is very important to remember that you need to take care of your skin systematically, especially during rashes. If you do not take treatment seriously, you risk seeing new rashes.
We have already mentioned that acne can appear for various reasons - external and internal. But regardless of the reason itself, you need to regularly cleanse your facial skin. Use only proven, good quality products for this. You should cleanse your skin in the morning and evening. In the morning, you wash away the secretions and dirt that remain on the skin after sleep. In the evening, you need to make every effort to wash off the makeup and dust that has settled on your face during the day. It is important to choose a cleansing product that is ideal for your skin type. Let us remind you that cosmetologists and dermatologists distinguish the following skin types:
Naturally, a product that is suitable for oily skin will dry out dry skin. And the product used by those with dry skin is not suitable for oily skin. Try to choose a product based on your skin's needs. If acne appears frequently, it would be appropriate to buy a cleanser with an antibacterial effect. It will not only cleanse the skin, but also destroy bacteria on it. Nowadays, cosmetics stores and pharmacies offer a wide selection of foams, gels, and lotions for cleansing the skin. It is better to buy the product at the pharmacy. Ask your pharmacist for some options for your skin type. Take the time to read the instructions, find out the composition, and find out whether it affects the acid-base balance of the skin. Only after receiving sufficient detailed information can you choose the optimal cleanser. Remember that you should use it twice a day. This means that its composition should be as gentle as possible and should not dry out the skin.
Owners of oily and combination skin sometimes have to resort to the cleansing process more often. Only if the skin is regularly cleansed of oil will acne stop appearing on it.
Another important condition is that you need to regularly use a moisturizer. After the cleansing process, it is very important to moisturize the skin. This promotes rapid regeneration of its cells. Your face will be healthy only if the epidermal cells are quickly renewed. While moisturizing, the pores receive additional nutrition. This has a great effect on their condition.
To make acne go away faster, you can use a scrub twice a week. But choose one in which the abrasive particles are quite small. They will help to gently cleanse dead skin cells. In addition, the substances contained in scrubs can speed up the healing process. But remember that the use of a scrub is strictly contraindicated if the acne is inflamed and ulcers have appeared on the skin. Then the scrub will only contribute to the spread of infection. If you don’t know which scrub is better, give preference to one in which the abrasive particles are of inorganic origin. They act more gently on delicate facial skin.
If you know for sure that the increased production of sebum in the skin led to the appearance of acne, then choose those products that can tighten the pores. If you find it difficult to choose, consult a cosmetologist. Many manufacturers promise that their products perfectly tighten pores. But in reality it turns out that this is not the case at all. Only an experienced specialist can recommend you good and effective remedies. It is also very useful to regularly wash your face with cool water to tighten pores. You can even use ice cubes for this purpose. Rub your face with regular ice or frozen chamomile infusion, and you will immediately notice how fresh and toned your skin will be.
The appearance of acne is often associated with changes in hormonal levels. This is most often observed in adolescence and after 30. Often the appearance of rashes is caused by an increase in the amount of the male hormone testosterone in the female body. In order to eliminate the rash, in this case it is necessary to balance its effect with a sufficient amount of the female hormone estrogen. For this purpose, dermatologists often prescribe birth control pills to their patients. They are able to increase estrogen levels in a short time. But this remedy also has a downside, a negative one. As serious laboratory studies have shown, it is the use of birth control pills that significantly increases the risk of developing breast cancer. There is a safer way to fight acne - the fruits of the vitex plant. They contain quite a lot of plant analogues of estrogen. This plant is quite effective and safe.
How to treat internal acne
During therapy, our main goal is to accelerate the maturation of acne or suppress the activity of dangerous bacteria and completely destroy them under the skin. The second is most often quite sufficient if the inflammation has just begun and has not affected a large area. Well, if time is lost and 3-4 days have already passed since the onset of inflammation, then pus begins to form deep under the skin. Now the main thing is to pull it out from the deep layers of the epidermis by all means. This will help the sebaceous gland cleanse itself.
If you see a dermatologist, he will prescribe you one of the antibacterial drugs. In the most difficult cases, antibiotics may even be prescribed orally. In this case, only the doctor has the right to choose a specific remedy and prescribe a regimen.
To effectively combat acne, first of all, you should ensure high-quality cleansing, moisturizing and nourishing the skin. Next, it’s worth determining the reason for their appearance. Most often, local remedies are used to combat them.
Dermatologists may recommend the following products to treat painful acne:
- Vishnevsky ointment. We are all familiar with this remedy, but many have no idea that it can be used to fight acne. But it is Vishnevsky’s ointment that helps to quickly remove pus and dry the site of inflammation. It contains xeroform powder. This is a powerful antibiotic that instantly eliminates infection, relieves inflammation and irritation. This unique ointment also contains tar. It is able to quickly increase blood flow into the epidermis. This ointment is very effective in the fight against painful pimples in which pus has begun to form. At the same time, it will not injure your skin. It is even used to treat colds and painful pimples that pop up in sensitive areas such as the neck or ear.
- Salicylic-zinc paste. Dries very well and relieves soreness. It should be applied pointwise, directly to the pimple itself. The effect of this remedy is that it reduces secretion in the sebaceous glands and reduces irritation on the skin. It has strong contracting and drying properties, due to which the pimple simply loses moisture. Then it can be easily removed using a regular scrub. Remember, in order to avoid severe drying of the skin, the paste should not be applied to the entire surface of the face, but strictly to the pimples themselves.
- Skinoren. This ointment perfectly eliminates painful acne. If the two remedies listed above were used by our grandmothers, then Skinoren is a relatively new drug. It costs more than Vishnevsky ointment and salicylic-zinc paste, but it also acts a little faster. The higher price of the drug is explained by the fact that its composition is more complex. For example, it contains azelaic acid. It is able to penetrate deep into the skin and kill germs.
- Zenerite. This product is well known to us thanks to an active advertising campaign. This remedy is very popular among teenagers as it helps to quickly get rid of acne. This drug is well tested and has long proven its effectiveness. Such an active effect of Zinerit is due to the fact that it contains the antibiotic Erythromycin. It is able to penetrate even into the systemic bloodstream and quickly destroy the source of infection. The preparation also contains zinc. It has long been used in dermatology, as it perfectly disinfects the skin from the outside and soothes it. Another advantage of Zinerit is that it is convenient to use.
What are the common mistakes made when treating painful acne?
Now let's talk about what you should absolutely not do, even if you need to very quickly regain the purity of your skin.
The main and most common mistake is trying to squeeze out annoying pimples. Such a serious procedure should only be performed by a dermatologist or cosmetologist in an office setting. At home, this is fraught with dangerous and unexpected complications. The fact is that in the process of squeezing, a pimple bursts not only outward, as we want, but also inward. And this is fraught with infection. An infection from an inflamed pimple gets under the skin and spreads to healthy areas. In this case, fairly large areas of the skin can be affected. Never squeeze pimples! You may get the opposite effect - instead of quickly getting rid of the rash, you will spread it to new large areas. Only an experienced cosmetologist can correctly perform this procedure, which is not as simple as it seems to us. At the same time, he uses additional products and carefully treats the skin with antiseptics.
Many also recommend lubricating acne with iodine. This is also not worth doing, since iodine can cause burns. And a noticeable scar may remain on the skin of the face after using it.
Don't forget about prevention
It is always better to prevent the appearance of rashes than to try every possible way to get rid of them. Try to cleanse your skin twice a day, eat right, exercise, and get rid of bad habits. If acne appears regularly, then you should pay attention to your health and undergo a deep and systemic examination of the whole body. There is a possibility that you are developing some kind of disease. First, go to a dermatologist. If he deems it necessary, he will also refer you to other specialists and prescribe all the necessary tests. Only a specialist can accurately determine the cause of inflammation. Sometimes, to restore clear skin, it is enough to cleanse the intestines or correct the functions of the endocrine system.
Sometimes nutritional correction helps get rid of subcutaneous inflammation. You should also forget about bad habits. Choose effective facial care products for yourself and cleanse your skin regularly. Ozone therapy is very useful. It helps to quickly cope with dangerous microflora.
So, we tried to give you simple recommendations on how to quickly and safely get rid of painful acne on your face.
Subcutaneous acne on the face causes a person a lot of discomfort and inconvenience in an aesthetic sense. But you should worry about this not only in case of discomfort, since such formations on the skin are considered a consequence of the existing inflammatory process in the area sebaceous glands against the background of purulent concentrations in the subcutaneous tissues. And such conditions are favorable for the growth of bacteria.
Main reasons and mechanism of formation
Not only young people have the problem of subcutaneous acne on the face, the cause of which lies in the inflammatory process. Almost half of the entire adult population of the planet suffers from a similar disease. The inflammatory process occurs in the sebaceous ducts, which are located deep in the skin. This is also due to an increase in the level male sex hormones in the body, due to which there is the production of sebum in large quantities, which, in turn, accumulates in the outlet of the sebaceous ducts, attracting various bacteria that feed on this sebum and multiply intensively.
Against the background of all this, inflammation begins to develop. The keratinized epithelial layers or dead cells on the surface of the skin begin to clog the outlet of the sebaceous glands, and the ongoing inflammation of infection of the affected areas begins to lead to the formation of reddish, hard-to-touch seals, which are called subcutaneous pimples.
In addition, there may be other reasons for the formation of painful acne on the face:
- Disruption of the sebaceous glands.
- Hormonal imbalance that occurs against the background of menopause, puberty, lactation and pregnancy, taking hormonal contraceptives and drugs, the presence of neuroendocrine and sexually transmitted diseases.
- Dermatological diseases.
- Incorrect or insufficient facial skin care.
- Abuse of peelings.
- Violation of cell immunity.
- Unhealthy diet with a lot of fatty and sweet foods.
- Genetic predisposition.
- Presence of subcutaneous mites.
Signs and symptoms of appearance
The formation of subcutaneous purulent pustules externally manifests itself in the form of small hard growths of white or reddish color that rise above the surface of the skin. As they mature, these seals appear in the form of a bright red tubercle, pressing on which causes severe pain. The size of these red subcutaneous pimples can range in diameter from 1 millimeter to 1 centimeter or more.
Quite often, with large purulent accumulations, the growth of acne begins to increase. In advanced cases, large nodes make the skin lumpy with an unhealthy reddish tint. These neoplasms are most often localized in areas that are most susceptible to the development of inflammatory processes:
- Face.
- Back.
- Breast.
- Neck.
- Hands.
- Shoulders.
Subcutaneous red pimples may not form purulent pustules for a long time, which are accompanied by unpleasant itching, as well as pain when pressed.
If the main cause of the formation of a subcutaneous pimple is a subcutaneous mite, then the bright red subcutaneous lumps will be multiply distributed and accompanied by severe peeling of the skin and itching.
The success of treating subcutaneous acne will depend on the correct identification and elimination of the main cause of their formation.
Effects on the skin
Acne negatively affects the external condition of the skin, adding to its owners many complexes about this. In addition, if treated incorrectly, scars and spots may remain.
You should never squeeze pimples! This can lead to the spread of pathogenic bacteria and damage acne new areas on the body, and sometimes this even leads to blood poisoning, since when squeezed out, the purulent contents enter directly into the blood vessels, spreading it throughout the body.
It is also worth noting that any type of cosmetic cleansing of the skin is also prohibited, since the procedure itself is squeezing out pimples.
Treatment of subcutaneous pimples on the face
Ways to get rid of internal acne on the face will depend on the degree of damage to the skin. If there are up to 10 such elements on the face, then therapy should be exclusively external. In this case, you need to use cosmetics whose actions are aimed at reducing sebum, fighting microbes, and also eliminating hyperkeratosis. Such cosmetics include mattifying and cleansing tonics and gels.
If acne has formed, you can use Differin topical gel. Any cosmetics and medications should be selected by a cosmetologist and dermatologist.
The average degree of skin damage by acne is characterized by the presence of 10 to 40 elements. With this degree of development of the disease, external and internal treatment is indicated. External treatment in this case consists of using the same external drugs as for mild illness. And for internal treatment, the specialist must individually select hormonal contraceptives, the actions of which are aimed at combating moderate or moderate acne. It is worth noting that the contraceptive can reduce the level of male sex hormones.
Antibiotics are additionally prescribed internally, for example, Doxycycline, which must be taken for three months. This is due to the fact that the process of skin cell renewal occurs once every four weeks. Three such updates should take place for the facial skin to become smooth and clean.
In the third stage of skin lesions, there are more than 40 neoplasms on the face, while almost the entire face is covered with white or red pimples. In such a situation, treatment should be more serious. A retinoic acid preparation is prescribed for oral administration. The only such remedy is Roaccutane. With this degree of skin damage there is no external treatment. The drug is able to block the release of sebum and sebaceous glands, while depriving microbes of “food”, causing dry skin. The use of this drug should only be prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional. Only in this case can you count on an effective result.
Methods of therapy and elimination of consequences
There are also other methods of treating and eliminating the effects of pimples on the face. These methods of therapy include the following:
- Microdermabrasion. This method removes dead layers of epithelium well, increasing blood circulation, as well as improving the processes of regeneration and recovery.
- Acid peeling. The method cleanses the skin of dead skin cells, increases the elasticity of the integument, and accelerates tissue regeneration.
- Laser resurfacing. Using a laser beam, the skin is cleansed of dead cells, and the procedure also improves metabolism and accelerates cell regeneration.
- Hardware physiotherapeutic methods for treating subcutaneous acne.
- Phototherapy. It accelerates regeneration processes in cells well.
- Ozone therapy. Eliminates inflammation and swelling, eliminates pathogenic microbes, reduces pain, stimulates the production of elastin and collagen fibers through exposure to oxygen.
- Elos therapy. This method affects inflamed areas of the skin with blue light pulses.
- Mesotherapy. Eliminates inflammation and restores skin.
Traditional medicine recipes
Home methods for treating subcutaneous acne on the face are relevant for mild lesions.
During the cleansing procedure, you can make steam baths based on a decoction or infusion of celandine, chamomile, mint, calendula, and sage. It is also useful to use such decoctions of medicinal herbs for daily washes or use as lotions, rubbing your face several times a day.
To prepare the infusion, you need to take a tablespoon of raw material, pour 200 ml of boiling water over the herb, let it brew for half an hour, and strain.
To prepare the decoction, do the same as for the infusion, only the brewed herb is additionally simmered over low heat for 5 minutes, after which it is cooled and filtered.
Tea tree oil is considered a fairly strong natural antibiotic. It is applied directly to existing pimples several times a day.
Iodine can be applied pointwise to individual pimples. This is done carefully and quickly. For application it is best to use a cotton swab. Care must be taken here, otherwise you may get burned.
Ichthyol ointment is capable of drawing out purulent exudate well, for which purpose the pimples are lubricated in a targeted manner.
Syntomycin emulsion together with warm boiled water in equal proportions will serve as a good tonic that speeds up the healing process. You need to wipe your face with this tonic 2 times a day.
Tar soap has an excellent antibacterial effect; it should be used instead of cosmetic cleansers.
To speed up the release of purulent contents from acne, It is recommended to use aloe. To do this, a fresh leaf of the plant is cut in half and applied to the new growths overnight. After 2 days, all the pus comes out.
For mild damage to the skin, it is recommended to lubricate acne with calendula tincture in alcohol, which is sold at the pharmacy.
Aspirin relieves inflammation quite well, and it also improves the condition of the skin. To do this, you need to lubricate the tumors twice a week with a mixture of aspirin and water. After this, the mixture does not need to be washed off.
A decoction of birch buds helps reduce pain and inflammation. To prepare the decoction, you need to take 10 g of birch buds, brew them in 250 ml of boiled water, put on fire, and after 5 minutes remove and wrap well. Let it brew for 3 hours, then strain. This decoction is used every day. You can also apply lotions on inflamed areas 3 times a day.
Prevention measures
To speed up the treatment process, as well as prevent the formation of acne, it is imperative to lead a healthy lifestyle, eat a balanced and healthy diet, eliminate all bad habits, exercise and take walks in the fresh air.
For cleansing, it is periodically recommended to use herbal infusions based on calendula, chamomile, and celandine. Such infusions also tone the facial skin well.
By following these simple rules of prevention, you can prevent the formation of acne on the face and other parts of the body.
Under no circumstances should you fight and try to remove small or deep diseased pimples on your own at home. All drugs and medicines should be appointed and selected only by a qualified specialist. When using traditional methods of treatment, it is also mandatory to consult a dermatologist.
