To avoid pimples it is important to keep the pores clean and clear. Some precautions to avoid the appearance of pimples are: seek to use products such as creams, bases and sunscreens suitable for the type of skin (aqueous gel, cream gel or oil-free) in order to avoid the increase of the oil already present in it and obstruct your pores, wash your face twice a day with water and face soap and / or astringent solution, always remove makeup before sleeping, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, wash face and back with soap after rinsing the hair conditioner, avoiding the exaggerated intake of foods with high glycemic value such as those based on carbohydrates (pastas, breads, potatoes, sweets) and dairy products.
The appearance of blackheads and pimples occurs due to the clogging of the pores (blackheads) followed by their contamination with the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes, which is normally present on the skin, leading to local inflammation with redness and yellowish secretion (spine). In addition, they can also be caused by internal factors such as a genetic predisposition or the hormonal changes that occur during adolescence and during menstruation, which provoke a stimulus in the functioning of the sebaceous glands leading them to an exaggerated production and causing the clogging of the pores with fat and keratin.
Depending on the severity of the pimples and the stage of life of the person they appear in, they may be treated with topical products (for on-the-spot) or oral antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, retinoic acid or hormones.
The dermatologist is the right specialist to advise on skin problems.
