The characteristics are.
(1) The papules are relatively uniform in size, red or skin-colored, and in severe cases, pustules may occur at the top of the papules, with obvious erythema around the rash, which may also occur on the trunk in addition to the face, with the forehead and upper back being the most common.
(2) The rash can subside naturally after stopping the drug.
Halogen compounds: including iodine, bromine, chlorine, etc. These compounds often cause occupational pimple-like rash, which mostly occurs in personnel who have long-term contact with these compounds.
Anti-tuberculosis drugs: such as isoniazid and sodium p-aminosalicylate.
Anti-epileptic drugs: such as phenytoin sodium, trimethoprim, phenobarbital, etc.
Vitamins: such as vitamin B12 taken internally or in combination with vitamin B6.

17.What damage does acne (pimples) do to the human body?
Acne formed by blockage of the sebaceous gland mouth of the hair follicle can develop into inflammatory papules, pustules, nodules, cysts, powdery tumors, cysts, and form skin damage such as pigmentation marks, enlarged pores, and even scars.
①Whitehead acne: The mouth of the hair follicle sebaceous gland is blocked by keratinocytes, and the keratinized material and sebum fill it and do not communicate with the outside world, forming a closed acne that looks like a slightly raised white head.
②Blackhead acne: The follicular sebaceous glands are clogged with keratinized material and sebum, and the openings are connected to the outside world, forming open acne, which looks like large or small black spots on the surface.
③Pimples: The most basic damage of acne. With the follicular sebaceous gland opening blocked, a hypoxic environment is formed in the follicular sebaceous gland, and anaerobic Propionibacterium acnes proliferates, decomposing sebum, producing chemotactic factors, and inflammatory papules occur due to the aggregation of white blood cells, so these papules are inflammatory damage.
④Pustules: It is the further development and aggravation of inflammatory papules. A large number of neutrophils in the sebaceous glands of the hair follicles gather and engulf Propionibacterium acnes and an inflammatory reaction occurs, and a large number of pus cells accumulate to form pustules. This condition is prone to scar formation after healing, mainly as depressed scars.
(5) Nodules: On the basis of pustules, a large amount of keratin, sebum, and pus cells are stored in the follicular sebaceous glands, causing structural damage to the follicular sebaceous glands and forming red nodules high above the skin surface. There is obvious infiltration at the base, flushed with pressure pain when touched.
(6) Cysts: On top of the nodules, there is a large accumulation of pus cells in the structure of the hair follicle sebaceous gland. There is both pus, bacterial remains, sebum and keratinized material, and inflammatory infiltration. It completely destroys the structure of the hair follicle sebaceous gland and has a cyst-like sensation when touched, and pus and blood can be spilled when squeezed.
(7) Pink tumor: Based on the cyst, all the contents of the follicular sebaceous glands gradually dry up and reduce the inflammation, forming greasy beanbag-like material. When the pressure inside the cyst is too high, small holes will be formed on the surface, from which bean residue-like or cheese-like material can be squeezed out. Touch it as a cyst-like tumor.
(8) Scarring: Scarring is the most serious damage of acne (pimples). The severe damage above the inflammatory papules is caused by the destruction of the dermal tissue, which is repaired by connective tissue after healing, thus forming a scar. Scars are a repair response of the body to tissue damage. When the damage to the skin reaches deep into the dermis, causing a large epidermal defect, the epidermis of the area cannot be regenerated and will be replaced by fibroblasts, collagen and proliferating blood vessels of the dermis, thus appearing as a scar. Once a scar is formed, it does not fade easily on its own.
18.How can acne patients pay attention to their diet?
① Avoid eating high-fat foods: High-fat foods can generate a lot of heat and make internal heat worse. Therefore, it is important to avoid foods such as lard, cream, fatty meat, pig brain, pig liver, pig kidney, eggs, etc.
② Avoid eating fishy things: fishy things can often cause allergies and aggravate the disease, often make the sebaceous glands of chronic inflammation to expand and difficult to get rid of. Therefore, fishy things must be avoided, especially seafood, such as sea eel, sea shrimp, sea crab, scallops, etc.. The hot products in meat is also hairy, such as mutton, dog meat, etc., can make the body heat congestion and aggravate the disease.
Avoid foods high in sugar: When the body eats foods high in sugar, the metabolism of the body will be exuberant and the secretion of sebaceous glands will increase, thus causing acne to appear continuously. Therefore, patients should avoid high-sugar foods, such as white sugar, icing sugar, brown sugar, glucose, chocolate, ice cream, etc. Avoid eating spicy foods. These foods are hot in nature and can easily raise the fire after eating them. Acne sufferers have internal heat, so eating these foods is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire. Avoid taking supplements. Some parents are afraid that their children will not have enough nutrition during the developmental period, so they desperately try to take tonic. This is actually a wrong idea. Most of the tonic products are hot, which makes the internal heat more intense and more likely to induce acne.
