What is inflammatory acne and what are the key points of care?

Acne is divided into inflammatory acne, non-inflammatory acne, and mixed acne. The signs of inflammatory acne are redness, suppuration, and nodule formation. When facing inflammatory acne, you cannot blindly treat it like ordinary acne, otherwise it may cause bacterial infection in the wound, resulting in the formation of white pustules, making the skin worse. If you want to treat inflammatory acne, you must first understand it. See below for details.

1. Definition of inflammatory acne:

When your pimples show symptoms such as redness, pus and nodules, it means that they have changed from non-inflammatory acne to inflammatory acne. In fact, it is because when non-inflammatory acne is formed, the pores become insufficiently supplied with oxygen, making them very suitable for bacterial proliferation, which leads to the production of red, swollen and painful inflammatory acne. If multiple bacteria repeatedly infect, white pustules will form!

2. How to identify inflammatory acne

Generally speaking, acne is divided into two types: inflammatory and non-inflammatory. To put it simply, red ones are inflammatory acne, and flesh-colored ones are non-inflammatory. Inflammatory acne is mainly divided into two types. One type is small granular, easy to produce pus, and the local skin is oily and grows in patches. The other is nodular cystic acne. This type of pimple is relatively large and tends to appear alone or in groups. They are large, hard and red, do not easily produce pus, and tend to grow again and again in the same place. Some people experience pain and itching. If you have this type of acne, then it can be determined that your skin is inflammatory. Moreover, this inflammation can easily spread to the surrounding skin, causing local inflammation.

How to fight inflammatory acne

To put it simply, inflammatory acne is caused by the accumulation of skin inflammation, acne, and the massive reproduction of acne bacteria. So there are three things to do: clean, sterilize, and reduce inflammation.

For oily, inflammatory acne-prone skin, you can choose a cleanser containing antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients. Inflammatory acne is caused by the accumulation of toxins in the body (excessive fire in the lungs and stomach) and heat in the blood. The reason why it eventually becomes a chronic disease is mostly because patients are impatient for quick results and blindly use medications, which ultimately leads to repeated attacks. It is recommended that you should follow the premise of improving your own immune resistance function, not drink alcohol, not eat spicy food, drink more water, eat more fruits, and cooperate with drug treatment, so that you can achieve complete recovery.
