What's inside a pimple

Acne is the most common during adolescence. Have you noticed that when we squeeze pimples with our hands, some white things will be squeezed out of the pimples? What is inside the pimples? Many people may be wondering about this question. In fact, what is contained in the pimples is fatty acids, which are secreted by sebum. This substance must be cleaned up in time and cannot be allowed to remain in the pimples for a long time.

Some people like to squeeze pimples, but we must know that squeezing pimples has a great impact on the skin. First of all, hands carry a lot of bacteria. If you squeeze pimples with your hands, it may sometimes cause skin infection. You should use some acne-removing ointment to help.

In fact, what is squeezed out of the pimples is fatty acids. Excessive sebum secretion causes the free fatty acids released by triglycerides in the sebaceous glands to stimulate the secretion of the sebaceous glands, causing blockage and forming acne. Generally, white fatty acids will overflow with a little pressure.

It is best not to squeeze pimples. If you have to squeeze them, be sure to take good hygiene precautions. When squeezing, use a sterilized acne needle (which can be disinfected with medical alcohol), be patient, press slowly, and do not use brute force. After squeezing, also pay attention to anti-inflammatory (saline or medical alcohol).

There are many factors that cause whiteheads, mainly the following:

1. Excessive secretion of androgen: Androgen can directly stimulate the increase of sebaceous glands, promote the keratinization of hair follicles, clog the pores and cause inflammation, resulting in acne.

2. Related to women’s menstrual cycle: Some women experience worsening acne before their period, which is mainly related to changes in hormone secretion.

3. Internal diseases or functional disorders: lesions of organs such as the stomach, kidneys, and liver, especially gastrointestinal dysfunction and constipation can induce the formation of acne.

4. Lifestyle factors: mental stress, excessive fatigue, lack of sleep, etc.

5. Dietary factors: preference for greasy, spicy and sour foods.

The above is an introduction to what is inside acne. I hope you will have a better understanding of your own acne after reading it.
