Internal acne on the face can be called one of the most severe skin conditions. Reddish, yellow, whitish papules filled with dead bacteria, cells, solid fat, and white blood cells. Due to the fact that a scattering of such formations is under the skin, acne is interpreted by medicine as closed comedones. They are difficult to treat, and after a course of procedures they remain on the face. A large number of people think acne is a problem. In fact, about 40% of adults also experience this ailment. And it so happens that you cannot part with the problem for many years.

The risk group for this skin disease includes:

• People with hereditary factors who have furunculosis, lipoma is chronic;
• Patients during puberty (girls 11-18 years old, boys 14-20 years old);
• Patients regularly taking medications: hormone therapy drugs, corticosteroids, lithium salts.
• Workers whose profession is related to chemicals: lubricants, oil, synthetic poisons.

If you have subcutaneous acne or furunculosis on your face, pay attention to these factors when treating.

The mechanism of origin of "subcutaneous" in most cases is similar to the formation of common acne and is the result of work sebaceous gland... Gradually, the sebaceous gland ducts are blocked by plugs, which causes inflammation. Initially, a lump forms under the skin. It manifests itself as soreness and growth. In a situation with subcutaneous eruptions, the process begins inside the layers of the dermis, where pus accumulates, which does not come out. At the same time, the sebaceous gland swells like a sac. Bumps form on the surface of the skin, causing pain when pressed.

The correct approach to the problem

Mankind has accumulated many ways and methods of dealing with the disease of a spoiled appearance.

Before embarking on an eradication program, it is important to establish the root causes skin disease, but in accordance with the diagnosis and together with the doctor, decide how to treat subcutaneous acne.

Looking ahead, I would like to note that it is advisable to look for a doctor who is licensed to provide this kind of services based on reviews. But you need to go not to a beautician, but to a dermatologist who collects anamnesis and deals with the treatment of skin diseases. The cosmetologist is assigned to the part on prevention, correction of minor aesthetic problems and skin care. Most often, being in the beautician's office due to subcutaneous eruptions, patients observe the method they use at home: internal acne on the face is punctured with a sterile needle, then the contents are manually removed. With this treatment option, there is a high probability of complications and traces of post-acne - scars and spots, which are then hard to wear off the face, and in some cases require the help of professionals.

Subcutaneous acne on the face - causes of appearance

Acne always ripens in the place of pathogenic microflora. Normally, bacteria living on the skin, with favorable factors, begin "violent" activity, penetrate into the deeper layers and cause an inflammatory reaction.

The culprits for the development of subcutaneous inflammation are:

1. Disorder of the function of sebum outflow and blockage of the excretory canal with hardened sebum.
2. Poor hygiene or improper care.
3. Hormonal adjustment.
4. General disorders of the body's activity are colds.
5. Changes in endocrine systems f - internal acne on the face in the chin area is a sure sign of an incipient disease.
6. Dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract.
7. Demodectic mange.

The skin is a complex organ that not only covers the body and face of a person. Passing through the stages of life, it is constantly changing.

Sebum plug

The task in the first case is to improve the work of the sebaceous glands and prevent possible complications... There are conditions that affect the formation of wen, by eliminating which the consequences can be avoided. The fact is that sebum, mixing with dead cells, forms a congestion in the duct. The main treatment is to relieve clogged pores, cleanse the hair follicle ducts, and exfoliate cells. Do not allow other fats to get on the skin. Since treating subcutaneous acne with even luxury oils is equal to applying cold to a sore throat in an aggravated stage. Many ingredients in cosmetics have a good ability to penetrate the skin and clog pores. Therefore, when buying cosmetics and care products, you should pay attention to the mark “non-comedogenic” or “for problem skin”.

Hygiene

Insufficient facial care, the wrong choice and use of products are common mistakes that lead to subcutaneous formations. The skin of the face differs from the integument of the body by a large number of sebaceous glands, which produce a special secret. The water-fat mantle is acidic, which protects the skin from germs. In an acidic environment, pathogens die. By the evening, the skin becomes dirty, needs cleaning and protection. Washing your face depends on your skin type:

• with dry epidermis, it is better to cleanse the integument on the face with milk, and then with tonic (acidity kills microbes);
• for oily skin, use the cleansing gel correctly followed by the application of a cream (antibacterial) corresponding to the problem to be solved.

Complaints about internal acne on the face are presented most of all by owners of oily skin.

The basis of care for this type of skin - cleansing - excludes the use of aggressive products with granules and frequent washing (more than 2 times a day with gel or foam).

Hormonal acne

Hormonal imbalance is an obvious reason for the appearance of "subcutaneous tissue". Puberty in boys and girls is accompanied by an unsightly appearance, and knotty papules on the chin in women are a sign of pregnancy, changes menstrual cycle, menopause. This occurrence is facilitated by abortion, which becomes a serious test for the hormonal system. Gynecological diseases are directly related to rashes under the skin. Most often they are:

• inflammatory reactions;
• infertility;
• polycystic ovary disease.

Increased levels of male hormones also lead to facial acne. In men, they appear in the chin area. The testosterone surge is determined by the wen along the edge of hair growth.

Cold acne

Viral diseases, sudden hypothermia, drafts, temperature changes "knock down" the immune system, resulting in subcutaneous skin. Treatment, if infected, must be started immediately. Such pimples hurt and do not go away for a long time, so you cannot press them yourself. The use of such external agents as:

• Baziron;
• aloe;
• Vishnevsky ointment.

Effective for local exposure - pointwise. Means quickly remove inflammation. Vitamin complexes bought in any pharmacy is the best solution for prevention colds and skin reactions.

When eliminating colds acne, the principle: "Do no harm" should become the motto.

Endocrine dysfunction

Diabetics most often suffer from skin diseases. Skin-related manifestations appear long before the diagnosis. At diabetes mellitus small vessels are affected, which complicates the process of blood delivery to the skin, due to which the skin becomes yellowish, dry and flaky, and its protective factor decreases. For fungi, such an environment is favorable, where they spread quickly. The nuance of endocrine disease that provokes internal acne is the breakdown of sugar. In the body, it lowers insulin, which in turn leads to the transformation of carbohydrates into fat molecules, which increases the productivity of the sebaceous glands. The circle is closed, and skin treatment becomes more difficult. A subcutaneous rash on scaly skin should be alarming and prompt a visit to the doctor. The specialist will prescribe drugs by mouth and take a scraping from the skin to determine the nature of the lesion.

Functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract

Fats (lipomas), milia (milia) are common skin phenomena on the face. They belong to the category of connective tissue tumors that develop in the subcutaneous fat layer. They appear on the skin on different scales - from single to crowded rashes. The sources of diseases are called heredity, an excess amount of fatty foods. When genetically modified food is consumed in excess of the norm, the organism becomes lactated. The digestive system cannot handle toxins by trying to store them. By themselves, tumor acne is a benign process, but under the influence of a number of factors, degeneration is possible.

Dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract is indicated by a rash on the forehead, above the brow arch.

Demodecrated acne

Modern solutions

In any case, modern techniques and devices in the medical arsenal help to solve the problem associated with skin pathologies.

Ozone therapy

Ordinary oxygen is afraid not only of an ordinary pimple, but also of an internal pimple. What to do in order to launch an oxygen war? Widespread in clinical practice got a method, the mechanism of action of which is simple.

Ozone therapy - treatment using gas (ozone) generated by ozonator devices. Ozone therapy is an interesting method. It is being actively studied. Previously, it was believed that ozone determines the therapeutic effect of oxygen, but it turned out that it is an active form of oxygen. Gas has healing characteristics:

• has antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal action;
• activates enzymatic and oxidative processes;
• strengthens the immune system;
• improves tissue nutrition and cleanses cells from toxins.

In oxygen therapy, a common method is the introduction of ozonized saline. Despite the harmlessness and usefulness of the procedure, there are contraindications. Namely, blood coagulation disorders (thrombocytopenia, hemophilia, critical days in women).

For preventive purposes, 5 sessions of ozone therapy are enough. If the procedure is included in the treatment serious illnesses, the number of sessions increases to 7.

Disincrustation

The method is based on the archaic manipulation of squeezing acne. In the disinfection procedure, the method of galvanic cleaning is used with loosening of pores and splitting of fats using electrodes and alkaline solutions. By opening the pores, the galvanic current removes the dead layer of cells, saponifies fats, and normalizes the secretion of sebum.

Magnetotherapy

The principle of action is based on replenishing the oxygen deficiency of damaged skin cells. It is known that the magnetic field changes the elasticity of the membranes of oxygen suppliers - erythrocytes. They become mobile and overcome pathological barriers, which improves blood flow. Diseases with an inflammatory status are treated with magnetotherapy. Treatment can be done at home. A home physiotherapy apparatus is an alternating magnetic field of varying strength. Exposure time, intensity should be consulted with a physiotherapist.

Elos treatment

A kind of hardware cosmetology - Elos-therapy successfully copes with severe forms of aesthetic skin defects. The correct technique is aimed at working with the deep layers of the skin. Penetrating, the energy mixture in a combination of radio wave and light energy, launches natural renewal processes, while simultaneously destroying neoplasms and edema.

Be careful when trying to get rid of internal acne on your own. This severe form is hidden in the depths of the dermis and does not have purulent contents. Self-medication and dissection of closed comedones threaten the formation of scars and not only. Failure to comply with the rules of processing and hygiene after removal will trigger more terrible mechanisms in the form of a carbuncle or phlegmon. Ignorance of the true causes of the birth of acne under the skin, ignoring the examination leads to chronic stages diseases and neglect.

The face is the calling card of every person. It is very unpleasant when a beautiful face is spoiled by hateful acne. Their variety is simply amazing: acne can be white, purulent, red (rosacea), blackheads and many others. But subcutaneous acne on the face is considered one of the most unpleasant and painful. They develop deep under the skin and can take weeks to mature. Trying to treat only the pimple will not fix the problem itself. Therefore, it is important to tackle the issue comprehensively, identifying its cause.

Causes of subcutaneous acne on the face

The subcutaneous tissue on the face begins with a slight inflammation, which gradually increases and rises above the healthy skin. All this time, the skin inflammation hurts and you want to squeeze it out, but this is absolutely impossible to do.

The main reasons for the appearance of subcutaneous acne on the face are the following factors:

1. Hormonal imbalance;
2. Improper facial skin care;
3. Allergic reaction;
4. Work failures internal organs;
5. Reproduction of a subcutaneous tick;
6. Enhanced work of the sebaceous glands.

Men can themselves provoke acne under the skin on the face by improper shaving. When the razor blade is dull, the depilation process becomes more difficult. The skin becomes irritated, and subcutaneous acne occurs. If a mite multiplies under the skin, acne is characterized by a rash in groups. Subcutaneous acne has a pronounced red color and peeling appears.

The relationship of internal organs with acne on the face

It has been repeatedly confirmed that very often the malfunction of internal organs is the cause of subcutaneous inflammation. Each organ is closely tied to a specific part of the face. Large subcutaneous pimples on the face indicate problems with an organ. An experienced doctor, even without an ultrasound scan, having examined the location of acne, will suspect a responsible internal organ.

Subcutaneous acne located on the chin

If a pimple pops up on the chin, the reason may be a violation of the reproductive system. Women's acne on the beard speaks of malfunctioning of the ovaries, and possible hormonal disruption. Also, violations may lie in:

• small intestine, if pimples under the skin are localized at the base of the lower lip;
• the left ovary, if a rash and peeling is added to the subcutaneous pimple on the chin;
• the inguinal lymphatic system, if acne is accompanied by age spots;
• uterus and prostate, in cases of subcutaneous acne in the center of the chin.

In addition, heredity can cause acne. Then they love to appear on the chin. Hair follicles chins respond to the amount of male hormones produced in the ovaries. Therefore, appearing on the chin, the subcutaneous tissue may indicate a problem in the endocrine system.

It is also worth adding that everything in the body is connected with the gastrointestinal tract. It is not surprising that sometimes malfunctioning organs become the cause of acne on the chin. digestive system... They are unable to cope with the amount of toxins and through subcutaneous eruptions "ask for help."

Subcutaneous cheeks - causes

If a subcutaneous pimple has formed on the cheek and cheekbones, any doctor will suspect a malfunction in the liver, stomach, and intestines. The treatment system is responsible for removing toxins from the body. When the body accumulates a lot of toxins, the organs cannot cope with them on their own, then they fail in the form of subcutaneous acne on the cheeks. The body becomes clogged due to improper nutrition and bad habits, so it is very important not to violate the rules of the diet.

There are other possible causes of subcutaneous acne on the face in the cheekbones:

• spread of staphylococcus or H. pylori;
• intestinal dysbiosis;
• worms.

Why does subcutaneous inflammation occur on the nose?

It is only among the people, a pimple on the nose means falling in love. Physicians interpret this phenomenon differently. The main reason for the formation of acne on the nose is malfunction of cardio-vascular system... When there is any heart failure, subcutaneous nasal congestion may appear. But this is not unambiguous, because there are also problems gastrointestinal tract can provoke this problem.

Where do subcutaneous forehead acne come from?

Pimples on the forehead love to settle. The main reason lies in the blockage of the sebaceous glands. The accumulation of dirt due to insufficient cleaning provokes inflammation in the sebaceous ducts. Subcutaneous acne on the forehead, as well as on other parts of the face, occurs due to improper cosmetics, which prevents the skin from breathing. You also need to reconsider your diet: acne on the forehead occurs when oily and spicy foods are abused, which contribute to the accumulation of sebum. Dysfunction of the gallbladder, liver, pancreas can lead to the formation of subcutaneous acne.

Treatment of subcutaneous acne on the face

If all efforts have turned out to be useless and subcutaneous acne continues to show off on your face, it is worth contacting a dermatologist. Only he, having made a complete inspection, will be able to determine the cause of the problem. But when acne is isolated and, in principle, did not bother you before, you can try to cope with the uninvited guest on your own.

The main task in the treatment of subcutaneous acne is to remove its contents outside. It is dangerous to squeeze out a pimple: the pus is deep and you cannot get it on your own. Damaging its integrity, you can only spread the infection into healthy tissues and thus contribute to the appearance of new abscesses.

A good remedy for drawing out pus is Ichthyol Ointment. A small amount of ointment should be applied to the subcutaneous pimple and left covered with a bandage. After a while, you will feel how the pimple begins to pulsate - this is how the reaction to the remedy and maturation manifests itself. "Levomekol", "Vishnevsky Ointment" are also excellent means for removing pus from the inside. All means are good in their own way, but you still need to use them according to the instructions.

If acne did not arise due to external factors, it is constantly localized in the same place, this is an alarming sign. Most likely, there are malfunctions of internal organs, so a visit to the doctor should be immediate. In addition to treating internal organs, the doctor may prescribe special procedures to destroy the subcutaneous tissue.

New technologies in the treatment of subcutaneous acne

1. Ozone therapy is a new word in cosmetology. Painful subcutaneous acne is treated successfully with oxygen. Ozone prevents microbes from growing under the skin and reduces soreness. Collagen production is enhanced, and redness and inflammation go away. The pimple after ozone therapy quickly matures and disappears completely in a couple of hours, without leaving a scar and scar.

   The procedure is performed by a qualified cosmetologist. With the help of a thin needle, ozone is injected into the inflamed area. The number of injections depends on the intensity of the rash.

2. Elos-therapy is another way to get rid of subcutaneous tissue on the face quickly and efficiently. A special preparation works with pulses of light on deep acne. Due to this light, inflammation disappears, the skin is quickly renewed, and enlarged pores are narrowed.
3. Mesotherapy - used when antibiotic therapy is needed.

With the help of modern technologies, getting rid of subcutaneous pimples on the face is not a problem. But, like any other inflammation, it is better to prevent the subcutaneous tissue than to treat it later. Any intervention has negative consequences and, delaying treatment, you can get scars for life. Therefore, in order to prevent the formation of acne under the skin, we recommend:

1. eat healthy food, exclude sweets and alcohol;
2. take care of your face thoroughly, check the composition and shelf life of cosmetics;
3. give up cigarettes;
4. spend more time outdoors;
5. do preventive masks and procedures to maintain skin tone.

There can be a lot of answers to the question "why do subcutaneous acne appear on the face". Most often, hormonal disruptions, problems with internal organs and improper skin care are the culprit. If you understand for sure that the reason lies in external factors, you can do without going to the doctor. There are many available now pharmacy products and cosmetic technologies that can easily treat subcutaneous acne on the face. But when your acne pops up in the same place in large groups, do not be too lazy to go to a dermatologist. This symptom could be a sign of a serious problem.

Acne on the face or different parts bodies are often the result of internal disorders arising from errors in lifestyle, exposure to adverse factors or developing diseases. One of these problems is subcutaneous formations, which are not just an unpleasant aesthetic defect, but also possible symptom pathological processes in the body.

What is subcutaneous acne

The process of subcutaneous formation is directly related to the excessive production of sebum that accumulates in the sebaceous ducts. It is a breeding ground for bacteria that multiply inside the sebaceous glands and provoke subcutaneous inflammation. As a result of the inflammatory process, the skin appears hard ball(bump) that hurts when pressed and, unlike skin rashes such as acne or acne, is not squeezed out in the usual way.

Inflammation affects the inner layers of the skin, and its superficial stratum corneum creates an obstacle to the normal cleaning of the sebaceous ducts. For this reason, getting rid of subcutaneous acne is difficult, be it small white rashes or one large inflamed subcutaneous tissue. Such formations are located in the deep layers of the skin and "ripen" for a very long time, and therefore it is impossible to remove accumulations of sebum and pus from them in the usual ways.

Reasons for the appearance

Having figured out what subcutaneous acne is and what is the mechanism of their formation, it is necessary to find out what causes them. The main reason for the appearance of such rashes is a violation of the process of sebum secretion, and it develops under the influence of a number of internal pathologies or external adverse influences. Why do subcutaneous tissue appear? Experts name the following factors that contribute to their education or provoke it:

• improper or insufficient skin care;
• hormonal imbalances associated with puberty, pregnancy, contraceptive use, or endocrine disorders;
• overheating or hypothermia of the body;
• improper nutrition;
• abuse of peeling or tanning;
• disturbances in the digestive tract;
• reduced immunity;
• metabolic disease;
• hereditary predisposition;
• gynecological diseases;
• subcutaneous tick;
• bad habits (use of tobacco, alcohol).

On the face

Problems with the skin of the face, manifested in the form of subcutaneous acne, often indicate hormonal disruptions in the body:

1. If small bumps appear on the face that do not go away for a long time, this may be the result of developing endocrine pathologies or temporary hormonal imbalance due to natural causes (transitional age, pregnancy).
2. In women, white pimples on the face can occur when the ovaries are malfunctioning caused by polycystic disease. In this case, they are localized on the chin and below on the cheeks.
3. In people with oily or dense skin, internal acne on the face appears due to excessive production of sebum and can be located anywhere - on the forehead, nose, cheekbones, chin.
4. Painful lumps on the lips that look like pimples at first can be a symptom of herpes.

On the back

On the neck

Rashes on the neck, lying in the deep layers of the epidermis, rarely occur, since in this part of the body the skin is thin. If such acne appears in this area, it is recommended to undergo a comprehensive medical examination, since they may be associated with diseases of the internal organs or the beginning of the development of pathological processes in the body.

On hands

The appearance of subcutaneous rashes on the hands may indicate endocrine disorders, allergies, hereditary diseases. If acne appears below the elbow or in the area of ​​the hands, this should be especially alarming, because there are fewer sebaceous glands in these areas and the appearance of skin formations on them may indicate serious pathologies and malfunctions in the body.

On the labia

Subcutaneous formations in the genital area in many cases occur due to hypothermia of the body. They can appear after a cold, swimming in cold water or improper hardening. Others possible reasons are microtraumas arising from hair removal in the bikini area, as well as wearing synthetic underwear that irritates the skin and contributes to its overheating.

Subcutaneous bumps all over the body

If subcutaneous rashes are located throughout the body, this may be a manifestation of a genetic disease - hereditary lipomatosis. With this disease, bumps can appear on any part of the body - neck, arms, legs, abdomen, back. This violation requires careful examination and prolonged complex therapy and sometimes surgical intervention.

• Rashes can be the result of the vital activity of a subcutaneous tick.

It is rarely possible to independently determine why acne has appeared.

Subcutaneous

If a subcutaneous pimple appears, then most likely the reason is hormonal imbalance.

• In males, inflammation often occurs during puberty (from 12 to 20 years). Elevated level hormone testosterone enhances the work of the sebaceous glands. This leads to profuse sebum production and blockage of the excretory ducts.

• Women suffer from facial rashes during pregnancy, breastfeeding, due to age-related changes in the body during menopause. Acne appears after prolonged use of hormonal contraceptives.

Also, internal acne is formed due to:

• prolonged depression, severe stress;

Who is at risk

At risk are those people who have a history of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, endocrine system, genital organs.

Working with harmful working conditions, living in areas with poor ecology, polluted water increases the chances of subcutaneous boils.

Features of acne bumps

• On a surface healthy skin many microorganisms live that do no harm. But under the influence of various factors, microbes turn into malicious pests.
• Bacteria penetrate into the ducts of the sebaceous glands, where there is no access to oxygen, and begin to multiply rapidly. This leads to inflammation, enlargement of the lump, and physical discomfort even at rest.

The treatment of such a pimple is complicated by the fact that the pus cannot come out on its own.

But you can't squeeze it out either. There is a threat of the spread of infection. In addition, visible scars may remain.

But wait until the pimple matures itself for a long time, so you can try to speed up this process.

Symptoms

Effects

It is strictly forbidden to open subcutaneous acne.

• After squeezing out, the pus spreads to healthy tissue. This inevitably leads to the formation of new inflammations. And instead of one pimple appears.
• The pus remaining after opening will penetrate even deeper under the skin. What becomes the cause of the formation of even more painful inflammation. Healing is delayed for many weeks.
• And in some cases, pus has to be removed surgically. At the site of the wound, an atrophic scar or a blue age spot inevitably remains.

An attempt to pierce a pimple with a needle and then squeeze out the pus also does not lead to anything.

The purulent contents are very deep.

But not everyone manages to restrain themselves and leave the pimple alone. Often, many still try to extract the pus out.

4. you should not wear clothes with rough seams, straps that rub the integument;
5. a washcloth for washing should be chosen soft, non-traumatic skin.

The main cause of subcutaneous acne is hidden inside the body..

The article discusses subcutaneous acne on the face. We talk about white and red subcutaneous acne, the reasons for their appearance. You will learn how to get rid of acne at home, which treatment is most effective and which products, creams and ointments are best to use.

Subcutaneous acne is a disease that can be experienced by both young people and adults. The main reason for the formation of internal acne is the inflammatory process in the sebaceous ducts located in the thickness of the skin.

This condition occurs as a result of an increase in the amount of androgens (male sex hormones) in the body. In the future, this leads to increased production of sebum, which, accumulating in the excretory sebaceous ducts, forms a favorable environment for the development of bacteria that feed on this fat. Which leads to the development of inflammation.

Dead cells on the surface of the skin block the exit of the sebaceous glands. Ongoing inflammatory processes and infection of the affected area contributes to the formation of a red, hard-to-touch lump called a pimple.

The main factors that can trigger the appearance of internal acne are:

• hormonal imbalance in women, arising against the background of puberty, pregnancy, breastfeeding, taking hormonal contraceptives and drugs, menopause, as well as in the presence of neuroendocrine and venereal ailments;
• malfunctions of the sebaceous glands;
• hypothermia;
• accelerated growth of hair follicles;
• excessive use of peels;
• skin diseases;
• weak immunity;
• improper or insufficient skin care;
• unbalanced diet with high consumption of sweet, flour, fatty products;
• heredity;
• frequent stress;
• the presence of bad habits;
• demodex (subcutaneous tick).

Types of subcutaneous acne

The classification of internal acne is subdivided as follows:

• white - appears under the skin, inside it is a void filled with pus;
• red - a pimple with suppuration, which swells, increases in size and rises above the dermis.

Types of acne:

• Closed comedones are an accumulation of subcutaneous sebum that does not have the ability to exit. They look like bumps that rise above the surface of the skin.
• Papula is an inflammatory pimple reaching 3 cm in diameter.It appears at the site of a closed comedone.
• Pustules are white, subcutaneous acne.

Symptoms of subcutaneous acne on the face

Internal education purulent pimple externally appear in the form of a small hard growth of white or red color, which rises above the surface of the skin. As it matures, the pimple becomes intensely red, and when you press on it, pain appears. The size of a red subcutaneous pimple can reach both several millimeters and several centimeters.

Often, with large purulent accumulations, acne growth increases. If you do not start treatment in a timely manner, then in the future it is fraught with the formation of large nodes, making the skin bumpy with an ugly reddish color. As a rule, such formations are localized in areas that are most susceptible to the development of inflammation, namely:

• face;
• hands;
• shoulders;
• back;
• breast.

Red acne may not form purulent pustules for a long time, instead causing itching, discomfort when pressed. If the subcutaneous pimple is caused by the presence of a subcutaneous mite, then the bright red internal seals are very widespread, accompanied by peeling of the skin and severe itching.

Remember, the success of the treatment of subcutaneous acne directly depends on whether the cause of their appearance was correctly identified, whether timely therapy was provided.

Diagnostics

There is a certain list of diseases that cause the formation of subcutaneous acne. Here they are:

• Dermatologic diseases such as Staphylococcus aureus.
• Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, infringing excretion harmful substances from the body, constipation.
• Lack of vitamins in the body.
• Liver disease - acne appears on the feet.
• Problems with the reproductive system cause the formation of a rash of subcutaneous acne around the mouth.
• Malfunctions of the excretory system, due to which swelling occurs - acne is localized on the fingers.
• Diseases of the endocrine system - in this case, internal acne is localized on the chin.

In some cases, the appearance of acne may indicate a cold. Often, subcutaneous acne is formed in people who have had sinusitis, in this case, the rash is behind the ears, on the nose and cheekbones.

In men over 35, pimples on the palms and all over the body can indicate prostate problems. But an internal pimple on the nose indicates problems with the cardiovascular system.

Most experts are inclined to believe that the formation of subcutaneous acne is associated with disorders of the digestive and endocrine systems. Therefore, it is important not to self-medicate, but to seek medical help in a timely manner.

Effects

In addition to painful sensations that cause pimples when touched, such rashes negatively affect appearance their owners. Subcutaneous acne causes various complexes, the use of a large number of various cosmetics in order to reduce the visibility of pustules. In addition, improper treatment causes another irreparable damage to the skin, as it leaves spots and scars.

To the question "How to squeeze out a subcutaneous pimple on the face?" there is only one answer - no way! In no case try to remove a cosmetic defect by squeezing, as bacteria begin to spread even faster due to the fact. And this leads to the formation of new internal acne.

Treatment of subcutaneous acne on the face

Therapeutic measures to eliminate pustules on the face depend on the degree of damage to the dermis. In total, there are 3 stages of defeat, which we will discuss below.

First stage

The first (initial) stage includes the presence of up to 10 acne on the face, in this case, the treatment is carried out externally. Cosmetics are used, the action of which is aimed at reducing the production of sebum, eliminating hyperkeratosis and neutralizing microbes.

These funds include cleansing and matting gels, tonics. You can cure acne with Differin gels. At the same time, remember that you can use cosmetics only after the approval of a dermatologist and cosmetologist.

Second stage

The second (middle) stage of the lesion is diagnosed if there are 10-40 pustules on the face. In this case, internal and external therapy is prescribed. External treatments include the use of gels and tonics.

As for internal therapy, in this case, the specialist individually selects hormonal contraceptive drugs, in which one of the main actions is to combat acne. The hormonal agent helps to reduce the level of male sex hormones.

Additionally, an internal intake of antibiotics is prescribed, for example, Doxycycline (should be taken within 90 days). This duration of admission is due to the process of skin renewal (once every 4 weeks). In order for the face to become clean, smooth and beautiful, 3 skin renewals must go through.

Third stage

The third degree of acne lesions is diagnosed if there are more than 40 pustules on the face, that is, when almost the entire face is covered with pimples. In this case, therapy is serious.

The specialist prescribes an internal intake of the retinoic acid preparation. So drug is Roaccutane, which prevents fat from leaving the sebaceous glands, as a result of which microbes are deprived of their "food", and it also provokes drying of the dermis. As practice shows, Roaccutane gives an amazing result, but it should be used only after a doctor's prescription.

There is no external treatment for stage 3 of the disease.

Salon treatments for subcutaneous acne on the face

If you are sure that only salon procedures are effective for treating pustules, then you need to know which of them the cosmetologist uses:

• physiotherapy and apparatus methods - are applicable only for stages 1 and 2 of the lesion;
• phototherapy - helps to speed up the regenerative processes in cells;
• microdermabrasion - removes dead skin cells, improves blood circulation, regenerative and restorative processes;

• ozone therapy - helps to eliminate edema and inflammation, destroys pathogens, relieves pain, activates the production of collagen and elastin fibers using oxygen;

How to squeeze a subcutaneous pimple

We do not recommend squeezing out pustules on your face on your own, as improperly performing the procedure can provoke a worsening of the condition. If you consider extrusion to be the most effective method elimination of internal acne, then follow 4 rules:

1. Treat your face and hands with an antiseptic.
2. Take a sterile needle (boil it for 20 minutes, then treat it with alcohol). Pierce the middle of the pimple with a needle.
3. Wrap sterile gauze around the index fingers of both hands. Press on the pimple from 2 sides.
4. Wipe the pimple and dermis around it with rubbing alcohol.

After squeezing out, treat the skin with Baneocin gel, which will eliminate existing bacteria and prevent the appearance of new ones.

Ointments for subcutaneous acne

Effectively treat subcutaneous acne with various ointments. The most effective are:

• Zinc;
• Vishnevsky;
• Ichthyol.

Let's take a closer look at each tool to figure out which one works best for you.

Zinc ointment

This ointment contains petroleum jelly and zinc oxide. The tool has an antiseptic effect, relieves irritation and inflammation. Zinc helps to regulate the secretion of subcutaneous fat, promotes cell renewal, and dries out.

The ointment acts quite simply: when it gets on the dermis, it blocks the processes of fluid release from the inflamed areas. In doing so, it creates a protective film. The product must be applied 2-3 times a day in a thin but continuous layer.

The ointment does not need to be rinsed off. You can see the first result in a few days, the duration of treatment is a week. The advantage is the affordable price.

Ichthyol ointment

This product has disinfectant properties. The main active ingredient is ichthyol, which helps relieve inflammation, relieves pain, and also has antimicrobial effects.

After applying the ointment to the skin, ichthyol immediately begins to act. It irritates the nerve endings, thereby improving blood circulation. After applying the ointment, regenerative processes are clearly visible.

The product has a resinous structure, and this feature helps to "pull" pus from acne, which allows you to relieve soreness and disinfect. The ointment pushes and dries pustules, preventing the development of inflammatory processes.

Despite all the benefits of the ointment, it must be used with caution. Apply only pointwise and after consulting a specialist. The ointment has a specific smell that not everyone will like.

If you have large pimples on your face, you can try a compress with ichthyol ointment. Apply the product in a thick layer to the painful pustule, place a cotton pad on top and secure it with a plaster. Perform the procedure at night, peel off the plaster in the morning. This compress helps draw pus out of the pimple.

Vishnevsky ointment

By its properties, it resembles ichthyol ointment but there are some differences. The ointment contains Castor oil, xeroform and birch tar. These substances help heal acne and speed up skin regeneration. The product has a specific aroma.

Vishnevsky's ointment works in an unusual way. After applying it to the pustules, they warm up, and the inflammation intensifies. This effect helps to accelerate the maturation of the pimple and its rapid passage.

There are several ways to use the tool. The ointment can be applied to the inflamed area, and after half an hour, rinse it off with warm water.

Also, in the fight against subcutaneous acne, the use of compresses is effective. Apply the ointment in a thin layer to cheesecloth, then apply the cloth to the affected area. It is advisable to perform this procedure at night.

Some people experiment with Vishnevsky ointment, applying it in a thin layer all over the face. We do not recommend doing this, since such a procedure can provoke a total inflammation of all acne, which will lead to a deterioration in appearance.
