A pimple is a skin disorder. There are several types of pimples such as acne pimples, boils or chickenpox pimples. A pimple manifests as a point swelling which can be pink, red, or black in color, and of varying size.

There are different types of buttons listed below.

Abscess : It is an accumulation of pus linked to a bacterial infection which pushes back the tissues in the periphery.

Bacteria arise, the immune system then tries to fight the infection and sends white blood cells to the affected area. The tissue dies, which forms a hollow that fills with pus, known as an abscess.

Acne pimples : Red pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, pustules, comedones and cysts are acne pimples. Acne is a skin disease characterized by the presence of at least one of the pimples mentioned. The areas affected by his rashes are the face, chest, back, torso and sometimes even the scalp. There are three types of acne depending on its intensity: minor, medium and severe.

Acne mainly occurs during puberty, during a hormonal surge during which the sebaceous glands produce more sebum, which promotes the multiplication of bacteria and the appearance of pimples.

Acne can also appear during hormonal fluctuations in women, most of the time just before the onset of menstruation, or when there is a problem with the functioning of the ovaries or adrenal glands.

The heat button : It appears when hot and is pink or pale red in color, small in size and itchy. Areas of the body where sweating is heavy cause heat rash to develop.

The sweat cannot be evacuated by the usual excretory ducts, then passes into the dermis and the epidermis. This poorly evacuated perspiration promotes pimples.

Cold sore : Also called “cold sore” or “cold sore”, the cold sore is a recurrent and contagious skin condition.

It is caused by the “herpes simplex” virus which has been present in the body since an infection often contracted during childhood. The virus sometimes reactivates itself and causes the cold sore to appear, which usually appears on the lips. It mainly lasts 7-10 days.

The chickenpox button : Present en masse, chickenpox spots are raised redness of the skin on which bubbles appear filled with a clear liquid. Chickenpox rashes all over the body and most often in children and are itchy. Adults who have never had chickenpox can contract the virus, but in a more serious way than in children.

Pimples are caused by the contagious chickenpox virus, the “varicella-zoster” virus.

The boil : It is an infection deep in the root of a hair and appears most of the time on the face, shoulders, neck, thighs and buttocks. It is in the form of a hard and painful red pimple on the level of a hair, then it fills with pus and finally, it pierces, empties and heals. Young men and adolescents are the most affected because of their oily skin at this age which promotes the development of bacteria.

The boil is caused by a bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus in the vast majority of cases. Heavy sweating, lack of hygiene and contact with a person with a boil and a carrier of staphylococcus would promote the development of the boil. Usually it lasts 5-10 days.

The insect bite : It can be caused by various insects such as mosquitoes, wasps, ticks, fleas or even spiders. These are skin lesions that can appear in different forms depending on the insect involved.

The wart : It is a small lump under the skin, not very contagious, often localized on the hands, the face and the soles of the feet. Warts infiltrate damaged skin and disappear spontaneously within a few months. Recurrences are frequent.

The wart occurs after several months of incubation after contracting a virus of the papillomavirus family that penetrates under the skin at a lesion. This virus is contagious.

Certain pimples such as boils, acne pimples or even cold sores can cause discomfort when the person concerned is in society. They have consequences for self-esteem.

Pimples can also be sources of pain, itching, physical discomfort (chickenpox, boil, abscess, etc.). They can also give rise to scarring.

Some sores, such as cold sores or chickenpox, can be contagious. In this case, it is recommended to take precautions and avoid physical contact.

Finally, some pimples can be a symptom of diseases such as sepsis (serious infection) or even lead to allergic reactions such as anaphylactic shock (the body does not respond normally and can no longer perform its vital functions) in the case of bites. ‘insects.

To relieve pimples, certain drug treatments may be prescribed by a doctor, especially in the case of acne.

To avoid the appearance of pimples, it is recommended to have perfect hygiene. To treat them, the use of natural health products or essential oils can be a solution.
