Squeezing acne is called hard bumps, acne is usually referred to as acne, and squeezing acne to form hard bumps may be the result of localized bacterial infections infiltrating into the deeper tissues to form nodules, cysts, and so on. General treatment, topical medication, oral medication, and physical therapy can be used to improve the condition.
1. General treatment: patients need to avoid re-squeezing, correct cleansing, clean excess oil, pay attention to diet, avoid eating greasy, high sugar food, and pay attention to sun protection.
2. Topical medication: Patients can use topical medication such as adapalene and other retinoids, benzoyl peroxide and other medications to inhibit sebum secretion, improve the abnormal keratinization of the follicular sebaceous gland openings, and reduce the inflammatory response, and also add antibiotics, such as Fusidic Acid Cream and so on.
3. Oral medication: If there are more nodules and cysts, retinoids such as isotretinoin capsules can be taken orally under the guidance of a doctor to regulate keratinization and prevent scar formation; if the infection is more serious, antibiotic medications such as minocycline can be added; such as outbreaks of acne, hormonal medications such as prednisone, cyclopropylprednisolone, and ethinyl estradiol can be taken orally to treat the acne.
4. Physical therapy: patients can use red and blue light irradiation, photodynamic therapy, laser therapy and other physical therapy to reduce oil secretion and inflammation.
Acne patients should avoid squeezing the affected area, and at the same time go to the regular hospital in a timely manner, under the guidance of a physician to standardize the treatment, avoid self-medication.
