The difference between allergies and acne

People nowadays have serious skin problems because many people have sensitive skin. There are many reasons why the human body may have allergies, such as diet or allergies to other substances. No matter what kind of allergy it is, when it manifests on people's skin, it affects their image. Acne is a skin disease problem that people are familiar with. But what are the differences between allergies and acne?

In daily life, blackheads, pimples, acne, and skin allergies are always difficult to distinguish because they have something in common. First, they will form red protrusions on the face, which is unsightly; second, their presence will make people feel uncomfortable on their face, sometimes accompanied by itching. However, if you look closely, there are some differences between blackheads, pimples, acne, and skin allergies, and you can tell them apart with a little attention.

1. First of all, blackheads and acne are two different names for the same skin hair follicle disease. Other names include pimples, acne, etc. It usually occurs in adolescents during puberty. As long as you wash your face more often, pay more attention, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, and eat a light diet during puberty, then generally the acne will fade and eventually disappear after puberty.

2. In addition, in addition to forming protrusions around the face, there will be white greasy substance on the top of the acne, which can be squeezed out by hand. The greasy substance is very greasy. However, it should be noted that it is best not to be keen on squeezing pimples, because after squeezing pimples, acne scars may form after the pimples disappear, making the skin bumpy and particularly ugly. You can use some ointment to wipe it.

3. Skin allergies are easier to distinguish from acne, pimples and blackheads. In terms of age, it is no longer limited to teenagers, but can occur in children and the elderly. Secondly, the red protrusions caused by skin allergies will not have white greasy substance on the top and cannot be squeezed. Skin allergies generally cause itching.

Note: In daily life, if red bumps appear on the surface of your facial skin, you should first distinguish whether it is acne or skin allergy. If it is a skin allergy, you should go to the hospital immediately to find out the source of infection, then stay away from the source of infection, and take or apply some anti-allergic drugs. If it is acne, pay attention to a light diet and wash your face frequently.
