What's wrong with the yellow pustules on my face

Yellow pustules on the face may be caused by acne or impetigo. Folliculitis cannot be ruled out.

1. Acne: It is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that mainly occurs in adolescents, usually on the face, with papules or pustules, or even nodules, and polymorphic skin lesions. During adolescence, the hormone levels in the body will change, such as increased secretion of androgen and excessive secretion of sebaceous glands. If you do not pay attention to thorough cleaning of the face, it may cause clogged pores and form acne. It is also closely related to improper diet, such as liking to eat irritating and spicy foods.

2. Pustule: It is an acute suppurative skin disease, which is related to infection with hemolytic streptococcus or Staphylococcus aureus. It usually occurs in summer or autumn. Because the temperature is relatively high and the humidity is relatively high, it is easy to occur in children. It is generally contagious and may be transmitted to other people. It can also be self-infectious. The onset is relatively rapid. At the beginning, it is small blisters, which will quickly expand and fester.

3. Folliculitis: It is a bacterial infection at the hair follicles, resulting in purulent inflammation. Red papules will appear, which will gradually turn into papular pustules and will be accompanied by chronic pain.
