Red bumps under the nose that hurt when touched may be due to acne, folliculitis and other factors.
1. Acne: It is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of the sebaceous glands of hair follicles, which occurs in teenagers and can appear on the face, forehead and other parts of the body, often accompanied by tenderness. Some patients may suffer from Rosacea, also known as rosacea, which is characterized by redness of the skin on the nose, accompanied by folliculitis papules and pustules.
2. Folliculitis: It is a purulent skin disease caused by Staphylococcus aureus infection of the hair follicles, which is mostly related to factors such as unclean skin, being in a hot environment, and low immunity, etc. Red pimples around the nose and redness and swelling of the skin around the nose may appear, and may be accompanied by pain.
In addition, some patients may be due to factors such as skin capillary malformation, keloids, and follicular keratinization, but they are relatively rare. Certain rash viral infections, which can also cause red bumps on the nose, are relatively rare.
There may be other reasons why red bumps under the nose hurt when touched, so patients are advised to consult a doctor in time and actively cooperate with the necessary examinations in order to clarify the cause of the disease and treat the symptoms. At the same time, patients need to avoid squeezing and rubbing the local skin, so as not to cause local infection.
