Zits (Acne) |
A pimple, zit , acnr or spot is a kind of comedo and one of the many results of excess oil getting trapped in the pores. Some of the varieties are pustules or papules. Acne is generally seen as an adolescent issue. But it’s also common across all age groups.
Acne is a broad term that describes a variety of skin conditions. It refers to everything from whiteheads and blackheads to cysts and nodules.
Although it may be tempting to pop or squeeze the pimple, you should avoid this at all costs. This may get rid of the blemish, or it could get much worse. Squeezing the pimple can force bacteria and pus deeper into your pores. If the pimple becomes infected, it can become a boil. This can happen on its own.
For existing spots, you can try a warm compress to loosen and soften any pimples. The heat may help bring the pus to the surface and allow it drain out on its own.
If you have persistent or painful breakouts, you should consult your doctor. Your treatment may include Topical medications, Benzoyl peroxide, Antibiotics and Systemic drugs.
