What will happen if you don't squeeze out the pimples

Many adolescent boys and girls may have the problem of acne on their faces. Acne on the face greatly affects one's personal image and can make people feel inferior. In order to make acne heal as quickly as possible, some people may choose to squeeze out the acne. Of course, some people think that squeezing pimples is unhygienic and may cause infection or leave scars. What happens if you don’t squeeze out acne?

1. The harm of randomly squeezing pimples on the face

Popping pimples to remove lung infections

Recently, it was reported that Ms. Li, 42 years old, from Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, had half of her face swollen and festering after squeezing a pimple, and had a high fever of 40°C. After going to the hospital for a chest CT scan, multiple abscesses were found in both lungs. The dentist performed an incision and drainage of the cheek abscess, and did a bacterial culture of the pus and blood, both of which revealed the growth of Staphylococcus aureus.

Zhu Ming introduced that the lung infection was an inflammation caused by Staphylococcus aureus. The mortality rate of this inflammation is very high. This disease is called hematogenous multiple lung abscesses. It is when bacteria enter the blood and spread to various parts of the body, causing more serious infection. This is all caused by squeezing pimples.

Squeezing pimples in the "triangle area" can have serious consequences

Acne is an inflammation of the sebaceous glands in the hair follicles, and most people begin to experience acne during adolescence. During puberty, hormones (androgens) surge, causing the face to become oily. At the same time, the openings of hair follicles become blocked to form keratin plugs, and dense acne begins to appear. The "acne bacteria" in the hair follicles will inevitably multiply in large numbers when there is sufficient food (triglycerides), further aggravating the inflammation and forming red "pimples". If not properly cared for, such as scratching and squeezing, it will leave permanent marks, acne marks and acne scars.

How can popping a pimple affect the lungs? Zhu Ming explained that there is a "dangerous triangle area" on the human face: an isosceles triangle area with the root of the nasal bone as the vertex and the line connecting the two corners of the mouth as the base, which includes major facial organs such as the upper and lower lips, nose, and both sides of the nose. Bacteria on the face (the most common are Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Streptococcus) will enter the facial veins after being squeezed, flow down with the blood into the heart, and then reach the lungs, liver, kidneys, bones and other organs of the human body with the blood circulation. The bacteria reach the lungs and cause lung infection, which is often preceded by symptoms of systemic sepsis such as chills and high fever caused by the primary lesion.

Eliminate acne as soon as it appears, without leaving acne scars

Acne usually appears and falls off in about 3-5 days. Squeezing with hands can cause infection (there are a large number of bacteria and fungi on the skin of the hands), and can also cause the cyst wall to rupture in the dermis, aggravating dermal inflammation and even forming scars. Zhu Ming said that if acne is eliminated at the blackhead stage, there will be no acne scars. This can also be treated by a dermatologist. Strengthening skin care on a daily basis is also the key to preventing acne scars.

Existing acne scars (orange peel, moon surface, ice pick, erosive) can be smoothed out with fractional laser. Dot matrix is ​​a laser emission mode that disperses the originally concentrated light spot into dozens to hundreds of tiny light spots. It will fall off automatically after seven days, stimulating new skin repair and filling the gaps in the skin pits. This method of skin repair usually takes 3-6 months, and if done 3-5 times in a row, you can see the effect of skin regeneration.

2. How to remove acne correctly

1. Honey acne treatment

Acne can be removed by applying honey on the face, as most people should know, honey is natural and non-irritating, a relatively mild ingredient, mild in nature and very nutritious. The antioxidant and antibacterial effects are very impressive. Among all honey products, royal jelly is the best for the human body, so you can consider using royal jelly to apply on acne, which will have better results.

2. Carrot mask method

Using carrots to remove acne is also a very good method, because the most abundant element in carrots is carotene, which will be converted into vitamin A after being absorbed and digested by the human body. Crush the carrots and make a carrot mask to apply on the face. Using this mask is helpful for improving the skin. Treating acne is a very effective method.

3. A certain disinfectant method

The acne mentioned here is mainly aimed at the acne on the back of the body. A certain disinfectant also has the function of killing fungi and bacteria, so it is very effective for the acne bacteria on the back of our body. Put a few drops of a certain disinfectant in the bath water, which is not only very effective in eliminating acne on the back, but also can prevent acne on the chest. Be careful to use a small amount, otherwise it will damage the delicate skin.
