Good morning to you.I have got regular questions about pimples, their causes & treatment
CAUSES
Firstly,Pimples come as a result change in hormones especially in puberty, So, if u know that you in between the ages of 13 to 18. Then it's normal and sometimes it corrects itself even without treatment.
Secondly,Pimples come as a result in the blockage of he hair follicles that secreate sebam( this contains bacteria and all other wastes from the skin) which results into swelling (pimples). So when these wastes and bacteria are blocked with these skin hair follicles, these bacteria can multiply and destroy the skin cells neighboring these hair follicles resulting into pus and many skin diseases. The following can cause blockage of the hair follicles;
* Application of much Jerries on the skin/face most especially when going to sleep.
* Poor personal hygiene. When dirt accumulates on the skin can block those hair follicles resulting into pimples.
* Not exercising. Exercises help the skin to breath and fully flash those skin hair follicles through sweating, so skipping exercises is quit not a good habbit.
ETC
TREATMENT;
1. Reduce sugar intake and all other sugary things for the meantime.
2. Reduce the application of excessive jerries especially when going to sleep b'se these block and close the hair follicles leading to blockage of sebam secretive. This sebam accumulates under the skin/hair follicles leading to swellings(pimples).
3. Exercise. Make sure u exercise daily. This make the skin to breath by opening these pores/follicles/holes and less accumulation of sebam under the skin and then healing of these pimples.
Good personal hygiene; that is daily bathing preferably a warm bath.
4. Take tea daily, including taking/ drinking plane warm water at least morning and evening.
5. MCG cream or Sk derm cream or Candiderm cream or Ecodax cream. Apply/smear on the infected part three times a day after bathing
6. Use a drug called Benzoyl peroxide.
7. Use Corticosteroids/immuno-suppresants/ anti-allergy drugs like prednisolone, Citrizine, Dexamethasone, epinephrine etc with in tablets, creams or injections appropriately.
You can accompany the above drugs with antibiotics like Azithromycin, Levofloxacilin, Cefixime, Metronidazole in all formulations. It's good for use to use the above drugs with assistance/advice from a qualified Health worker. Self prescription is dangerous to your health.
NOTE: IF THE ABOVE FAILS, SEEK MEDICAL HELP.
