Do I need to take anti-inflammatory drugs if acne is infected

Every day, many people have pimples on their faces. In fact, pimples cannot be squeezed with your hands, but some friends can't help it and squeeze the pimples with their hands, which causes some pimples to become inflamed and infected. So, do you need to take anti-inflammatory drugs if acne is infected? In fact, it is recommended that you do not take anti-inflammatory drugs, but you can find some ointments to apply. Because this situation is not serious.

Anyone who has had acne will probably remember that the first thing you notice about acne is that it is red, swollen, and painful.

Why do such symptoms appear? The reason is that the acne is inflamed.

What is an inflammatory response? Inflammation is essentially a reflection of the body's struggle against inflammatory factors, and this struggle lasts throughout the entire inflammatory process. After inflammatory factors act on the body, on the one hand, they cause damage to tissue cells, causing local tissue cells to degenerate and necrotize; on the other hand, they induce the body's disease resistance to increase, which is beneficial to clearing inflammatory factors and repairing damaged tissues, thereby achieving a new balance between the body's internal and external environments. Inflammation can occur in tissues and organs in various parts of the body. For example, folliculitis, tonsillitis, etc. The inflammation of acne is manifested in folliculitis.

What causes inflammation?

1. Infectious, it is caused by pathogens, including seven major categories: bacteria, germs, fungi, spirochetes, chlamydia, mycoplasma and mycobacteria.

This type of inflammation is usually referred to as inflammation.

2. Non-infectious causes: for example, tumors, cancer, etc.

Autoimmune diseases: such as lupus erythematosus;

Physical factors: high temperature, climate, etc.

Chemical factors; carbon monoxide poisoning, etc.

Mechanical factors: extrusion damage, etc.

Hazards of inflammatory response: Once the inflammatory infection is not well controlled and spreads, it will cause disease and harm. The direct harm of acne inflammation is that it leaves marks. If you squeeze the acne, the damage will be greater, such as pits. In addition, recurring acne in the same place is basically due to inflammation. Some people stop using acne removal products once the acne is gone, and the acne grows again after a period of time. This is because the deep inflammation of the acne has not been completely eliminated, so it grows again after a while. Therefore, we must use non-additive, non-hormone, non-irritating acne products.

What should I do if acne becomes red, swollen and inflamed?

1 Generally, you should never use facial cleansers or handmade soaps with particularly strong cleansing power because these cleansing products will damage our sebum layer and stratum corneum while washing your face, both of which are the first barrier to protect the skin from infection.

2. Don't squeeze pimples with your hands or tools. Once a pimple becomes inflamed, it will leave a temporary red mark even if you don't squeeze it. If you do it, it may leave a permanent acne mark.

3. Stop wearing makeup after you get acne, because cosmetics are fine chemical products and contain a lot of chemical irritants, which will worsen inflamed acne, clog pores, stimulate fat, and make your skin worse. Therefore, you should use safe, non-irritating skin care products that are hydrating and oil-controlling.
