Pimples under the skin are caused by different factors such as hormonal changes, bacteria and unhealthy diet. They appear as small bumps under the skin’s surface. They are usually painless. Sometimes these pimples appear as red bumps and can be painful. Face, neck, back and groin are the most common areas of the body where these pimples can appear.
Treatment for Pimples Under the Skin
There are many treatment options which are effective in curing small, reddish pimples under the skin. A proper skin care regime will help in preventing the occurrence of pimples.
- Cleanse your skin daily by using a good anti-bacterial cleanser. This will remove the dirt, excess oil and bacteria responsible for pimples under the skin.
- Use a hot compress. Soak a cloth in hot water and place it on the pimples for 2-3 minutes. This will reduce the swelling and also help in draining out the pus.
- Benzoyl peroxide is very effective in treating pimples under the skin. It kills the bacteria and reduces swelling.
- Exfoliate the skin regularly. Use a gentle scrub for exfoliation which helps in removing the dead skin cells and dirt. It opens up the pores and prevents the occurrence of pimples under the skin.
Note
– It is very important to consult your physician or dermatologist to be sure about the skin condition. Sebaceous cysts also appear as small bumps under the skin and are painless. Swollen and enlarged sebaceous cysts can be painful and may lead to infection and can form into abscesses. Depending on the symptoms and severity, your dermatologist can suggest a suitable treatment plan.
