Acne and pimples - what is it, causes, symptoms, acne treatment in the Clinic under the supervision of doctors

There are many reasons why people have various rashes on their faces: acne, pimples. Acne, or acne, is a phenomenon that is characteristic, first of all, for adolescence. But sometimes it worries both adult men and women. If the problem is not taken seriously, the situation can worsen over time. It's not just that the skin on which the rash appears looks ugly. If inflammation begins, acne on the face can cause more serious diseases.

People want to look beautiful. But not everyone is naturally lucky to have healthy skin. Many face various rashes on the face: acne, pimples.

Do not try to solve the problem on your own. Acne treatment should be carried out under the supervision of a specialist. He will determine how serious the disease is and determine the optimal treatment tactics.

Acne: what is it?

Acne on the face is a pathological manifestation of an inflammatory nature. It appears as a result of damage to the sebaceous glands and excretory ducts. When this disease occurs, the composition of sebum changes in a person: the proportion of fatty acids in it decreases, it loses its disinfectant properties and cannot effectively prevent the growth of bacteria.

As a result, the pores are clogged with a viscous and hard fatty secret. It mixes with particles of dead skin cells. At the same time, bacteria actively multiply in the glands, and because of this, pus is formed. Fat can also accumulate under the skin.

The main area where acne appears is the face. But rashes can often be seen on other parts of the body, for example, on the shoulders or on the back between the shoulder blades. In this case, acne must be distinguished from acne. Usually a reddened tubercle is called a pimple, and an acne is an inflamed duct of the sebaceous gland, which manifests itself in the form of a black dot on the skin.

Causes of acne

There are many reasons leading to the appearance of acne and blackheads. Usually, their occurrence is influenced by several factors at once, which can be divided into two large groups - internal and external.

Internal factors are, in particular:

• Hormonal imbalance, which can be caused by puberty, pregnancy, childbirth and other causes
• Metabolic disorders
• Malnutrition
• Avitaminosis
• Decreased immunity
• Allergy
• Stress

External factors include:

• Wrong skin care
• Use of cosmetics that clog pores
• Increased perspiration
• Subcooling or overheating
• Miscellaneous skin injuries

Squeezing rashes will not help solve the problem, on the contrary, over time, the number of blackheads and pimples will increase. Treatment of the cause of acne is required, eliminating the factors that cause them to appear.

Main symptoms

How do you know if you need acne treatment on your face or other areas of your body? The rashes are clearly visible, and if, when looking in the mirror, you see that not everything is in order with the skin, you should consult a specialist.

The reddish pimples and blackheads mentioned above are symptoms that can be called classic. But other options are possible, for example:

• White pustules - cavities filled with pus and appearing as spots or small bumps of white color
• Rosacea - pinkish nodules that form in places of dilation of the subcutaneous vessels and usually occur on the nose and in the nasolabial folds
• Acne erythematosus - characteristic of women over 30 years of age and occurs as a reaction of the body to problems with the vascular and neurovegetative systems

Of course, if you find a single pimple, you are unlikely to need medical treatment. Just do not squeeze it out and do not use other methods of self-treatment. When the disease is at an early or intermediate stage, special attention should be paid to skin care. But if within one and a half to two months you were not able to eliminate acne on your face, the treatment should be taken to a new level - contact a doctor who will conduct an examination and tell you what to do next.

Also, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible if the rash is extremely plentiful and painful.

Acne treatment

Acne treatment largely depends on the cause of the disease. Therefore, diagnosis is important. The specialist interviews the patient to get more information about his lifestyle, and if necessary, sends him to take tests: these can be, for example, a biochemical blood test or hormonal studies.

Treatment of acne on the face and other rashes, as a rule, is carried out in a complex manner. The drug effect is combined with the regulation of nutrition, correction of hormonal levels and the use of various skin care products.

In no case should you squeeze blackheads and pimples, as this can lead to scarring or the development of inflammation. It is also important to choose the most suitable cosmetics - for example, creams and lotions that do not clog pores.

The treatment of acne, which is particularly complex, requires the use of antibiotics, and in some cases vitamins. In parallel with antibiotics, probiotics are usually prescribed to preserve the normal digestive activity of the body. This is another reason why you need to see a doctor. Only a specialist can choose a complex of medicines that will suit a particular patient and ensure maximum effectiveness of treatment.

If stress is recognized as the main cause of skin rashes, you need to focus on eliminating the causes that cause it.

Separately, it is worth mentioning salon procedures. It can be:

• Skin cleaning - mechanical, vacuum or ultrasonic
• Peeling
• Phototherapy
• Ozone therapy

The technique is selected taking into account both the needs of the patient and his financial capabilities.

Acne nutrition

Acne and acne treatment will not be effective enough without adjusting the patient's eating behavior. Necessary:

• Reduce high glycemic index foods such as white bread, muffins and sweet pastries
• Increase your intake of foods containing vitamins A, C and E

You also need to adjust the diet in such a way as to ensure the removal of toxins from the body.

To get more vitamin A in the body, you need to eat carrots, cabbage, spinach and a variety of orange vegetables, such as pumpkin. Vitamin C is found in cabbage, potatoes, strawberries and various citrus fruits - oranges, tangerines, lemons. Other sources of vitamin A include almonds, peanuts, and leafy vegetables.

White rice, white flour products, and sugar lead to an excess of insulin in the blood. Therefore, they should not be abused. It is also desirable to exclude from the diet all smoked, spicy, salty and fried foods, stop eating fast food, give up sweet pastries, sweets, sauces and mayonnaise.

According to experts, you need to drink more water. Every day you need to drink at least 7 glasses, because with a lack of moisture, the processes of healing and skin renewal slow down. At the same time, it is worth reducing the consumption of coffee. It is better to refuse the use of alcoholic beverages altogether.

Prevention

There are effective methods of acne prevention, and if you pay more attention to them, you can not be afraid of the appearance of acne: treatment, accordingly, will not be needed at all. The basic principles are simple, all you need to do is:

• Pay more attention to hygiene
• Choose water-based cosmetics, do not use scrubs for skin care - they can injure the skin, which leads to infection, the development of inflammatory processes and the appearance of rashes
• Normalize weight, minimize junk food, sugary sodas, baked goods, and anything else that can cause skin problems
• Balance hormones
• More outdoor activities, more rest, less nervousness and avoiding stressful situations

If you need advice on proper nutrition, you should contact a specialist. It will help you adjust your diet based on your lifestyle, financial capabilities and other factors.

Rash COVID-19 | Rash could be symptom of coronavirus

The onset of COVID-19 may be associated with various types of skin lesions. They resemble papules, nodules, vesicles, excoriations (abrasions), scales, ulcers, some are in the form of spots, indurations or nets. The rash can occur in people who are asymptomatic with COVID-19. In 21% of patients, dermatosis was the only symptom of SARS-CoV-2 infection. At the same time, 17% of patients reported skin rash as the first manifestation of the disease.

Frequency of skin symptoms of COVID-19difficult to determine. There is also no known relationship between some skin symptoms and disease severity. In addition, it cannot be ruled out that in some patients, skin lesions may be a manifestation of a reaction to multiple treatments for COVID-19.

8. Treating COVID-19 rash

Skin lesions are often the body's response to viral infections. However, in the case of COVID-19, doctors are surprised by the variety of skin rashes, the time of their appearance and location.

Skin lesions associated with COVID-19 occur on various parts of the body, such as around the mouth, trunk, limbs, legs and arms. They are not always accompanied by itching.

The rashes associated with Covid-19 are varied and similar to skin lesions associated with other viral diseases, according to a study conducted by experts in Spain. They noted that skin changes did not correlate with the severity of the infection: some were accompanied by asymptomatic COVID-19, others - severe forms of infection.

Five types of rash were noted:

• Irregular frostbite-like patches on the arms and legs, sometimes accompanied by soreness and itching. Mostly encountered in young patients with a mild course of the disease, appeared in the later stages and lasted about 12 days. Registered in 19% of cases.

• Focal eruption in the form of small vesicles, which can cause itching, located on the body and upper and lower limbs. Occurs at the time of the onset of any other symptoms and occurs at 9% of cases in middle-aged patients; kept for 10 days.

• Urticaria-like patchy eruption, white or pink, often itchy. They were noted in 19% of cases, mainly on the body, but also happened on the palms.

• Maculopapular eruptions in the form of small flat or bulging vesicles, which were observed in 47% of cases. These rashes persisted for about a week and appeared simultaneously with other symptoms, but most often accompanied by a severe course of the disease.

• The appearance of a vascular red-blue network or signs of skin necrosis on the skin was observed in 6% of patients, mostly elderly with a severe course of the disease.

At the same time, experts note that the rash can have a different origin, and it is difficult to classify it without having the appropriate experience and knowledge.

In case of any skin symptoms, Medicover dermatologists with many years of experience and extensive experience in diagnosing various skin lesions are always ready to help you!

Diagnosis of dermatological changes caused by COVID-19 consists primarily in the exclusion of other possible causes of rashes, such as, for example, allergies.

This may require a series of studies to determine if the rash is related to SARS-CoV-2 infection, or if it is a reaction of the body to certain medications, or if the infection is caused by other pathogens.

If finger pressure on purple-red skin lesions does not cause them to disappear, this is an alarm that indicates the need to seek medical attention in order to rule out infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

In Medicover clinics, you can get professional advice from a dermatologist and undergo all the necessary examinations to establish an accurate diagnosis, as well as get advice on effective treatment in accordance with modern international clinical guidelines.

The first symptoms of COVID-19 can occur approximately 5-6 days after infection, sometimes this period is extended up to 14 days. However, a rash can be both the first symptom and the only sign of COVID-19. .

Depending on the type of skin lesions and their severity, they last from several days to several weeks.

Skin rash may be accompanied by other systemic symptoms associated with COVID-19. These include:

• fever

• Permanent cough

• shortness of breath, breathing problems,

• Fatigue

• Chill

• Dizziness

• Loss of smell and taste.

Viral diseases are a common cause of skin lesions in children. A rash caused by SARS-Cov-2 may appear on a child's skin up to 2-4 weeks after infection and indicate the development of childhood inflammatory multisystem syndrome associated with SARS-CoV-2.

PIMS with multiform inflammatory syndrome in children sometimes occurs after COVID-19 infection, sometimes even after asymptomatic infection. PIMS most commonly occurs in schoolchildren around the age of 9years.

In the case of children, skin lesions caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection may appear as reddish papules, resembling other viral exanthems. Papules may appear on the face and back, and within 3-5 days they disappear spontaneously.

Any rash in children should be consulted with a pediatrician. Until an accurate diagnosis is established and the connection with COVID-19 is excluded, children should not come into contact with other people, especially the elderly, who are prone to a severe course of coronavirus infection up to death.

Skin lesions in the form of so-called "coronavirus fingers" are more often diagnosed in young people, adolescents and children. They take the form of red spots, vesicles and even ulcers, accompanied by swelling of the skin of the fingers and interdigital spaces.

The papulo-vesicular eruption of COVID-19 and chickenpox are very similar. They differ in the age of patients and localization of skin lesions.

In SARS-CoV-2 infection, skin lesions are more common in adults with a mean age of 60 years. However, one of the main clinical features is the localization of lesions in the trunk area, the elements are diffuse in nature, they are characterized by the absence of itching.

The rash appears 3 days after the onset of symptoms of COVID-19 and spontaneously disappears after 8 days without leaving marks, while with chickenpox the rash can be biphasic and last up to 2 weeks.

Rash due to SARS-CoV-2 infection does not require specific medical procedures. Clinical data show that it is enough to simply observe its course and apply symptomatic treatment if necessary. Useful antihistamines that relieve itching and swelling of the skin. Mild patients can use them at home.

In case of serious and significant skin lesions, systemic treatment with corticosteroids under medical supervision is recommended.
