What are the treatment methods for acne breakouts?

When a few pimples suddenly appear on our face, although we feel very uncomfortable, many times we can't help but squeeze the pimples. If we don't take some care after squeezing the pimples, it is easy to leave acne scars on the face. So no matter you squeeze the pimples yourself or break the pimples accidentally, you need to take some measures. Now let's talk about the methods of dealing with broken pimples.

1. Pay attention to cleaning

If it is broken, it is best to wipe it with medical alcohol first to do a good job of anti-inflammatory work to prevent inflammation, so as to avoid acne infection and worsening. Never touch the broken part with your hands again. Try not to get the wound wet within 4 to 6 hours.

2. Do not touch the wound with your hands

After the pimple breaks, pus and blood will begin to ooze out of the wound. If the pus and blood are allowed to spread to other parts of the skin, it may cause infection. So at this time, you must quickly continue to use your index finger and thumb to pinch a clean tissue to wipe the blood off the wound. After wiping the wound with alcohol after a pimple breaks, squeeze a little erythromycin ointment and apply it on the pimple. This way the pimples will not be infected and the swelling will subside quickly.

3. Topical iodine

You can also apply iodine tincture to the local area to prevent infection. If there is no redness, swelling, heat or pain in the local area, there is no problem.

4. Don’t wear makeup

Avoid using cosmetics to cover the wound, which may cause inflammation. Try not to let the broken area get wet to prevent inflammation. You can use a cotton swab to dip some aloe vera gel and apply it on the wound.

5. Pay attention to your diet

The diet should be light to prevent the formation of acne marks and acne pits.
