What is the cause of lymph node acne

We may not know much about lymph, but in fact there are many lymph nodes in our body. For example, if you touch your neck, the soft area is what we call lymph. Lymph exists in various parts of our body and has a great relationship with our immune system. Common acne appears on our face, but it can occasionally appear on the lymph nodes. What is lymph node acne?

It should be considered that folliculitis is caused by excessive sweating in the lymphatic area, poor sweat drainage from the sweat pores, resulting in blockage of the sweat pores and infection with Staphylococcus aureus. It is recommended that you wash frequently to keep your skin clean and hygienic. Pay attention to rest, ensure adequate sleep, and avoid anxiety. Avoid spicy and other irritating foods, drink plenty of water, and eat more vegetables and fruits. Avoid squeezing to avoid infection. Taking amoxicillin, metronidazole, and Danggui Kushen Pills should have a certain effect.

Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of the pilosebaceous unit that mainly occurs in adolescents and has a great psychological and social impact on them, but it often subsides or heals naturally after puberty. The clinical manifestations are characterized by polymorphic skin lesions such as acne, papules, pustules, nodules, etc. that are prone to occur on the face.

Skin lesions often occur on the face and upper chest and back. Non-inflammatory lesions of acne appear as open and closed comedones. The typical skin lesions of closed comedones (also known as whiteheads) are skin-colored papules about 1 mm in size with no obvious hair follicle openings. Open comedones (also called blackheads) appear as dome-shaped papules with significantly enlarged follicular openings. Acne will further develop into various inflammatory skin lesions, manifesting as inflammatory papules, pustules, nodules and cysts. Inflammatory papules are red and vary in diameter from 1 to 5 mm; pustules are uniform in size and filled with white pus; nodules are larger than 5 mm in diameter and feel hard and painful to the touch; cysts are located deeper and are filled with a mixture of pus and blood. These lesions may also fuse to form large inflammatory plaques and sinus tracts. After the inflammatory skin lesions subside, pigmentation, persistent erythema, and depressed or hypertrophic scars are often left behind. Clinically, acne is divided into 3 degrees and 4 levels according to the nature and severity of acne lesions: Level 1 (mild): only comedones; Level 2 (moderate): in addition to comedones, there are also some inflammatory papules; Level 3 (moderate): in addition to comedones, there are also more inflammatory papules or pustules; Level 4 (severe): in addition to comedones, inflammatory papules and pustules, there are also nodules, cysts or scars.

Based on the characteristics of onset in adolescents, distribution of skin lesions on the face, chest and back, and the main manifestations of polymorphic skin lesions such as whiteheads, blackheads, inflammatory papules, pustules, etc., it is easy to diagnose clinically and usually no other examinations are required. Sometimes it is necessary to differentiate it from rosacea, disseminated miliary lupus faciis, sebaceous adenoma, etc.
