Pimples with hard bumps may be acne, sebaceous cysts, folliculitis, etc. The disease can be eliminated by general treatment, medication and surgery.
1. Acne: It is mostly due to the increased level of androgen which leads to the exuberant secretion of sebaceous glands, which produces a large amount of sebum and blends with the shed epidermal cells, blocking the ducts of sebaceous glands of the hair follicles and resulting in the appearance of pimples with hard bumps. You can use topical retinoic acid cream, adapalene gel and other retinoic acid drugs under doctor’s guidance to unclog the follicle sebaceous gland ducts to achieve the therapeutic purpose.
2. Sebaceous cysts: when the sebaceous ducts of the hair follicles are blocked, larger cysts are easily formed, manifesting as pimples with hard bumps. If the secondary infectious inflammation has not been controlled, the cyst should be treated with mupirocin ointment, fusidic acid ointment and other medications before removing the cyst through surgery.
3. Folliculitis: The invasion of germs such as bacteria and fungi into the hair follicles may induce folliculitis and the appearance of pimples with hard bumps. If the condition is mild, it can be left untreated for the time being. If the redness, swelling and pain are obvious, ichthyol ointment and mupirocin ointment can be given under the guidance of the doctor. In addition, it is also necessary to do a good job of local cleanliness and hygiene.
Many skin diseases may be manifested with hard bumps of acne, if necessary, need to consult a professional for standardized treatment, do not blindly use drugs.
