I have a hard pimple on my cheek that hurts and itches. What's going on?

Due to the high stress, teenagers will develop hard bumps, some of which will be accompanied by red inflammation. This is a chronic inflammation caused by excessive secretion of the sebaceous glands of the hair follicles, and is often manifested in symptoms such as pustules, acne, and papules. This type of acne is more stubborn, so you should pay more attention to cleansing your skin, avoid staying up late, and eat a light diet.

If you get acne during adolescence, most of the time it is related to the excessive oil secretion at this age, and it is necessary to use oil-control and exfoliating products. You also need to prepare topical medications such as tretinoin cream and clindamycin gel. Use them as soon as you notice pimples appearing. Many pimples will deflate the next day. Never squeeze them with your hands! (The skin will develop resistance to these products if used for a long time, so they should be used alternately.) You also need to prepare an acne needle. When a whitehead appears on a pimple, you can first disinfect the whitehead with alcohol and then prick it, squeeze out the pus inside, and disinfect it again. Some pimples deflated immediately. However, this treatment method is likely to leave acne scars, so you should pay attention to sun protection afterwards.

Tips: If it causes endocrine disorders in the body, you can adjust the endocrine system. It is recommended to go to a relevant dermatology hospital for treatment;

2. Bad work and rest habits. Often this bad work and rest habit is also the reason why acne keeps growing. Staying up late for a long time can easily lead to endocrine disorders in the body and cause the growth of acne.

Tips: Pay attention to maintaining good work and rest habits, go to bed early and get up early, so as to have good skin;

3. Not paying attention to personal hygiene. For example, if you don’t like to wash your hands, often touch your face with your hands, and change your bed sheets and pillowcases irregularly, it will easily lead to the proliferation of acne bacteria in the hair follicles, thus causing the growth of acne;

Tips: Pay more attention to your personal hygiene, wash your hands frequently, change your bed sheets and quilt covers regularly, etc.

4. Irregular diet. For example, in daily life, frequent overeating, frequent consumption of fried foods, onions, garlic, peppers and other irritating foods can easily lead to stimulation of various factors in the body, leading to the growth of acne;

Tips: Develop good eating habits, eat more vegetables and fruits to prevent constipation and indigestion;

5. The body's immunity decreases. As you can imagine, when the body's immunity decreases, our skin's disease resistance naturally decreases, making the skin more susceptible to infection with Propionibacterium acnes, leading to the growth of acne;

Tips: Pay more attention to the nutritional combination, eat more vegetables, fruits and foods rich in protein to improve the body's resistance;

6. Too much pressure in life. Today's fast-paced life has led to a gradual increase in our life pressure. Various pressures in life and work have led to a disordered work and rest schedule, and we are often in a state of tension, which has led to the gradual growth of acne on our faces.

Tips: Life is stressful, so you should learn to relax, for example, you can go out for a trip, go hiking, etc., to make yourself feel more open-minded;

7. Kidney yin deficiency. People with this body type have oily skin easily, which can cause skin pores to become clogged;

Tips: Pay attention to skin cleaning, eat more vegetables and fruits, and stay up late less;
