Acne is generally referred to as acne vulgaris, which can usually be considered squeezed clean if all of the yellowish-white material contained within is squeezed out, but patients are not advised to squeeze acne without authorization to avoid aggravating the inflammatory response.
Acne is associated with androgen-induced sebum secretion in large quantities, abnormal keratinization of the sebaceous gland ducts of hair follicles, and propagation of Propionibacterium acnes, which can lead to skin lesions such as pimples, papules, and pustules.
Usually, if all the yellowish-white tofu scum-like material in the pimple is squeezed out, it can be regarded as squeezed clean. However, it is not recommended that patients squeeze acne without authorization to avoid spreading inflammation and secondary infection.
For patients with acne, topical medications such as retinoic acid ointment, benzoyl peroxide gel, adapalene gel, etc. can be used as prescribed by the doctor, and antibiotics such as minocycline, doxycycline, etc. can be taken orally if necessary to promote recovery.
If acne appears locally, it is not recommended to squeeze it without authorization. It is recommended to consult a doctor in a regular hospital and choose the appropriate treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
