Acne on the cervical spine

The location where acne appears is not fixed, which is mainly related to the patient's own physical problems. Many patients may have acne in the cervical spine. At this time, there may be problems with their kidney detoxification function. However, there are also a small number of patients who have a series of symptoms caused by folliculitis. The specific cause can only be known after the patient has completed relevant physical examinations.

Causes

The pathogens are mainly Staphylococci, and Staphylococcus epidermidis can sometimes be isolated. Uncleanliness, scratching and low body resistance may be the causes of this disease.

Clinical manifestations

It initially appears as a red, solid papule consistent with the opening of the hair follicle, or it starts with follicular impetigo, and then rapidly develops into a papule-pustule, with the hair running through the middle and redness and inflammation all around, followed by drying and scabbing. It heals after about a week of scab falling off, but there are also cases of recurrence and no healing for many years. Some may also develop into deep infection, forming furuncles, carbuncles, etc., which generally do not leave scars. The number of rashes is large, isolated and scattered, and the patient feels mild pain. In adults, it mainly occurs in hairy areas, and in children, it is more common on the head. The rashes can sometimes merge with each other, and small bald spots may remain after healing.

treat

Antibiotics can be used as appropriate. 1% neomycin ointment, mupirocin ointment, fusidic acid ointment or 2% iodine tincture can be applied topically. Ultraviolet radiation can also be tried. For patients with recurrent attacks, autologous vaccine or polyvalent staphylococcal vaccine can be tried.

There are both male and female hormones in the body, but men mainly have male hormones and women mainly have female hormones. Under normal circumstances, the ratio of the two hormones is balanced. Adolescent girls develop acne because of unstable hormone secretion in the body, with normal estrogen and excessive androgen. Adult women, on the other hand, often do not increase androgen, but instead have less estrogen, which also causes an imbalance in the ratio of the two hormones, leading to excessive sebum secretion, clogged hair follicles, and thus acne.

If you are allergic to certain foods or cosmetics, you should be careful. When you are allergic, you will get acne on your neck, so you need to determine whether your acne is caused by allergies or acne. If you are not sure whether it is caused by allergies, you can go to the hospital for a check-up and let the doctor identify whether it is an allergic phenomenon.
