The appearance of red, swollen and hard pimples indicates that the inflammatory infection is more serious, and generally requires medical attention for symptomatic treatment, as well as auxiliary dietary regimen and daily care, which can help eliminate red, swollen and hard pimples. The topical drugs commonly used clinically are fusidic acid, mupirocin and other antibiotic creams, together with vitamin A acid cream or peroxymonosyl gel for application, in addition to clindamycin phosphate gel or compound polymyxin B ointment to strengthen the anti-inflammatory effect; also through internal anti-inflammatory drugs such as tetracyclines, azithromycin, clindamycin, isotretinoin and anti-androgen drugs. The application of drugs can also be combined with TCM treatment, such as fire acupuncture, which involves the use of a red-hot milli-needle to quickly pierce the redness and hardness of the lump to metabolize the inflammatory contents inside. However, it is important to note that both medication and Chinese medicine should be done under the guidance of a doctor and not on your own. At the same time, during the treatment period, you need to avoid alcohol, spicy and irritating foods such as raw onion, raw garlic, strong tea, coffee, chili, mustard, etc. You also need to avoid sweets, keep your bowels open and get a good sleep. Keep your skin hygienic and clean, avoid touching it with your hands and minimize washing your face with strong alkaline soap.
