Many people will struggle with having some pimples and pimples on their backs. So in some hospitals, some doctors diagnosed folliculitis. Of course, this is not wrong, because folliculitis can also grow on the back, and sometimes there are some pus heads on the surface of folliculitis. If you look at young people in their twenties, then a small rash like folliculitis appears on the back, and some blackheads and whiteheads appear, which will not get better after repeated treatment. This situation should be considered as acne, which is what we usually call acne, and should not be diagnosed as folliculitis.
The main reason why acne appears on the back is that the principle of acne on our face is roughly the same, and the sebaceous glands in the hair follicles on the back are rich, and there is more oil. Together with the friction of clothes, the back will become a prone area for acne. The prone parts of acne are not only on our face, but also on the back of our scalp and neck, on our chest and back, and on our buttocks. Acne can have some minor acne, but also more cysts and nodules, and even acne marks and pits. It can be seen that the prone parts and forms of acne are still varied.
with the progress of the times and the improvement of material living standards, people's love for beauty has become more and more intense. Clinically, we often see many patients go to see a doctor because of pimples and acne on their backs, so what is the reason for this situation? It is precisely in adolescence and young adults that it is the highest incidence, because during this period, the level of androgen is higher than usual, and androgen can promote the secretion of sebaceous glands. Excessive sebum secretion will lead to excessive proliferation of some normal skin flora, which will lead to acne and folliculitis. It's called normal flora because there are oil-loving bacteria such as Acne Bacillus and Pityrosporum on the skin surface of normal people, but if your skin is not oily, they can't eat enough and have no ability to do things for you. When their excessive proliferation causes skin diseases, it is impossible to completely eradicate them from the skin, which is unrealistic and unnecessary. You only need to maintain their number at a reasonable low level through some life care and drugs.
acne and folliculitis are the two most common skin diseases that cause pimples and acne on the back. Acne is mostly an endocrine disorder skin disease caused by mental stress, lack of sleep, staying up late, eating greasy products or using oily skin care products. It is usually infected by Propionibacterium acne, and it occurs in adolescence. However, clinical studies in recent years show that the age range of acne-prone people is expanding to young adults. Folliculitis is an inflammatory skin disease caused by bacterial infection (mainly staphylococci), and its incidence is also directly related to irregular work and rest and mental stress. Sometimes this disease can be manifested as simple follicular papules with pus on them, and sometimes it can lead to systemic symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat and pain, and even fever. The onset age of folliculitis is similar to acne, and it is easy to occur in young adults. So how can we avoid the ugly acne on our back if we love beauty in life?
Method 1: Sulfur soap is hit by fashionable soaps and handmade soaps in the small corner of the supermarket. In fact, sulfur soap has its magical function, which is the most suitable for this kind of situation. Sulfur has only a slight bacteriostatic effect when washing at low concentration, but its effect of inhibiting sebum secretion is very desirable. Since the oil-loving bacteria eat oil, we can take a bath with sulfur soap every 3-5 days. But remember not to do it too often, so as not to make the skin too dry and desquamate.
Method 2: Diet adjustment A high-sugar and high-fat diet can promote sebum secretion, and it is best to avoid it. Spicy diet also has a certain impact on this, and sour food does not need to be taboo. Foods such as high-protein fish and shrimp need to be taboo for people with allergies, and acne and folliculitis don't need to be taboo. If you are taking oral medication, it is best not to drink alcohol to avoid increasing the burden on the liver.
Method 3: Take medicine! Life care only starts from inhibiting sebum, and the effect is very slow. In fact, we have safe and efficient drugs available, and we don't need to endure hardships at all. Acne bacilli, clindamycin phosphate gel, fusidic acid ointment and other ointments are sensitive to most gram-positive bacteria including Acne bacilli. Erythromycin ointment is not recommended because of most drug resistance. Pityrosporum: ketoconazole, miconazole and bifonazole are all effective, but terbinafine is less sensitive. Demodex (folliculosis): Demodex is more common in rosacea than in the chest and back, and can be killed by metronidazole gel. Moreover, these drugs are very safe. Most external drugs only take effect on local skin, and the amount of blood entering will not exceed 5%, which is very small. It is basically impossible to have any impact on overall health if such a little amount is spread out in four or five liters of blood all over the body. Moreover, these are not hormonal ointments, and they can be used for a long time according to the needs of the disease.
the body removes moisture; Recommend a dampness-removing soup: Coix seed and red bean soup, which you can do at home. Coix seed is beneficial to water swelling, strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness, relaxing muscles and tendons, removing arthralgia, clearing away heat and expelling pus, etc. Red beans have the effects of strengthening the spleen, stopping diarrhea, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. You can also choose red beans, poria cocos, yam, codonopsis pilosula, etc., all of which can diuretic and dehumidify, especially for people with edema. There is no quick cure for acne, or you won't have acne all over your back. The more anxious you are, the more acne you have. The above two methods are suitable for people who are patient with acne, with low cost and skin care.
Eat a light diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid sweet, greasy and spicy things; Second, we must ensure our own routine, avoid staying up late and ensure adequate sleep; Third, we should pay attention to using oily skin care products as little as possible to reduce the chance of clogging pores. It is worth mentioning that no matter whether it is acne or folliculitis, everyone can go to the supermarket to buy a piece of sulfur soap and wash it with sulfur soap when taking a bath, which can not only improve the situation of blocked hair follicles, but also kill the bacteria in acne, thus making our skin return to normal. If the situation is serious, I suggest you seek medical advice in time.
1. Ordinary soap is not recommended for acne muscles, because it contains soap-based surfactants, such as lauric acid and sodium hydroxide, which has strong degreasing ability, and will destroy the balance of skin oil, and the residue will further lead to the blockage of hair follicles and aggravate the deterioration of acne. 2. The legendary sulphur soap was abandoned. Although sulfur soap has a strong bactericidal and anti-mite effect, its sulfur content is very irritating to the skin, which may easily lead to dry and peeling skin. In the long run, delicate skin may become rough and dry.
This disease is more common in young people, with more males than females. The damage mainly occurs in fatty areas such as cheeks, forehead, chin and nasobuccal groove, followed by chest, back and shoulders. There are two kinds of acne, white-headed acne and blackhead acne, which contain keratin and sebum. White-headed acne, also known as closed acne, is a skin-colored papule, the size of a needle, the opening of a hair follicle is not obvious, and it is not easy to squeeze out a fat plug. Blackhead acne is also called open acne. The center of the pimple is an enlarged pore, and the fat plug is blocked at the mouth of the hair follicle. When squeezed by hand, it can be seen that there is a translucent fat plug with black top and yellow body. Because the top is exposed to the skin surface, sebum oxidation and dust influence, it forms blackheads, so it is called blackhead acne. In addition to sebum oxidation and exfoliating debris, acne also contains many carbonized hairs. The course of the disease is chronic, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and women often get worse periodically before menstruation. This disease is self-limited. The vast majority of patients gradually reduce after puberty, so as to disappear. This disease is common in young people aged 17-18, and it occurs as early as 1-13 years old and as late as puberty or adults. There are more men than women. The damage mainly occurred in cheeks, forehead, chin and nasobuccal groove, followed by back and upper chest. The periorbital skin is never involved.
acne vulgaris is the most common. The damage begins with a cone-shaped papule consistent with the mouth of the hair follicle, and the top is yellow and white, which is composed of sebum in the hair follicle and keratinocytes falling off from the hair follicle wall. The top is blackheaded acne due to melanin deposition, such as a fat plug with black head and white and translucent body that can be squeezed by fingers, which is a characteristic and early-onset damage of acne. The light one is only the blackhead acne in the hair follicle mouth, and there is no papule. Slightly heavier is the formation of inflammatory papules around blackheads. If the inflammation intensifies, small pustules as big as rice grains and peas can appear at the top of the papules, leaving temporary pigmentation or small pit-like scars after bursting or absorption. If the inflammation continues to expand and deepen, reddish or dark red nodules with different sizes will be formed under the skin, or slightly higher than the skin surface. This kind of damage can exist for a long time, or be gradually absorbed, or form a scar after festering and ulceration < P > Some damage is an oval cyst from soybean to finger tip, with dark red or normal skin color, which has a sense of fluctuation when squeezed, and the inflammatory reaction is often not serious, and it can fester into abscess for a long time. When several abscesses nearby meet, it forms aggregated acne. Therefore, the damage of acne is polymorphic, and its change is the process of disease development, which can appear in one patient at the same time, often with one type of damage as the main one. The symptoms of most patients have been reduced year by year after puberty; So that it disappears. However, those with pustules, nodules, abscesses and cysts will leave concave or hypertrophic scars after healing, which will affect their appearance.
acne conglobata is a serious type of acne. It is common in young men and occasionally in women. The onset of the disease is often insidious, mainly distributed in the back, buttocks and cheeks; But abdomen, shoulder, neck, face, upper arm and thigh can be equally involved. It is formed by numerous blackheads, papules, pustules, abscesses and cysts. The lesions were mainly cysts and nodules. Cysts are usually soft, large, irregular and fluctuating plaques, which are purplish red. After bursting, they flow out with foul purulent or mucinous serosity, thus forming fistulas. A ulcerated abscess can form a deep concave scar. The course of the disease is stubborn and often lasts for many years without retreating. Patients occasionally have systemic symptoms such as fatigue, discomfort, fever and joint pain.
3. acne fulminans are more common in teenagers and young men, and a few in adults. Its clinical feature is sudden onset, and the lesions are mainly on the chest and back, followed by the face and neck. Most of them are follicular inflammatory papules, pustules and severe inflammatory reactions, with few nodules and cystic lesions, obvious local pain, easy to form erosion, ulcers and superficial scars after healing. The onset often has fever, which can be as high as 39 or above, accompanied by joint pain, fatigue, loss of appetite, myalgia, headache and so on. In laboratory examination, white blood cells increased, erythrocyte sedimentation rate accelerated, and there were immune abnormalities such as decreased complement, increased globulin and increased immune complex. The pathogenesis may be related to the type or type allergic reaction of patients to Corynebacterium acne vaccine (Propionibacterium). Corticosteroids are more effective than antibiotics. This disease should be differentiated from aggregated acne and necrotizing acne.
