Acne and blackheads on the nose are not only a cosmetic defect that affects the emotional state. Sometimes the cause of this phenomenon is specific disorders in the digestive and endocrine systems, as well as other problems in the body. A pimple on the nose (on the most visible part of the face) often spoils the appearance of even the most well-groomed and beautiful woman. For this reason, action must be taken to remove it as soon as possible.
For the treatment to be effective, you need to know the reasons why acne occurs on the nose. This is also important in order to avoid relapses and re-inflammation.
What is a pimple?
A pimple on the nose or any other part of the face is a skin disease. It appears due to the fact that there is a strong production of sebum, which clogs the pore. In a normal state, a fat-like substance is necessary for the elasticity of the skin and hair, as well as their protection from cracking. When the sebaceous glands try to produce more secretion than necessary, excellent conditions are created for the development of pathogenic flora. Whenmicrobes and bacteria get into a similar gland, an inflammation process develops, which leads to the appearance of an abscess.
Causes of occurrence
There are a lot of sebaceous glands in the nose area. Their main function is to produce sebum. The latter protects our skin from external environmental influences and drying out.
Yet, when the secret cannot come out or there is a lot of it, extremely unpleasant pimples appear on the tip of the nose or blackheads. It is for this reason that the nose area, especially the tip, is at high risk for such problems.
A pimple on the nose, which can be caused by an inflammatory process, appears due to a large release of sebum. When the problem is left without proper attention, even an abscess may occur.
Why can there still be a pimple on the nose? The reason for its appearance is associated with poor facial care. In order to avoid the appearance of pustules, it is necessary to constantly and regularly clean the surface of the nose itself from all kinds of dirt and dust or grease residues. It is worth saying that for the same reason, not only acne appears on the tip of the nose, but also black dots. You need to get rid of the latter in a different way. Scrubs and peels are best for blackheads.
It should be said that clogging of pores is often accompanied by small pimples on the wing of the nose. This can lead to the appearance of an abscess already at the tip of the nose.
Girls have a problem. What are the provokingfactors?
Pimples on the nose of women appear as a result of a pathological process, which leads to the development of several causative factors. Let's take a look at them:
- Heredity. The genes that are responsible for the increased work of the sebaceous glands of the skin of the nose and face are inherited. If one of the parents had acne, then there is a very high probability of their occurrence in a child, especially during puberty.
- Changes in hormonal levels. The main cause of subcutaneous acne on the nose in adolescents during puberty. At the same time, an increase in the level of the male sex hormone testosterone in the blood can lead to an increase in the activity of the sebaceous glands, as well as a change in the properties of sebum. In women, the occurrence of acne can provoke a violation of the production of estrogen and progesterone in various pathologies of the structures of the urogenital tract.
- Parasitization of Demodex skin mite. Such a tick has a meager size. It exists in small quantities in the skin of virtually every person, but is activated with the appearance of acne against the background of a decrease in immunity, metabolic disorders.
- Violation of the digestive system. This leads to a deterioration in the process of digestion and absorption of certain compounds necessary for the normal course of the synthesis of sebum. In this case, the excretory ducts are blocked, black dots appear on the tip of the nose, which then become inflamed with the appearance of acne.
When a pimple occurs under the nose in men, it may be the result of microdamage to the skin during shaving. This, unfortunately, is extremely common among guys.
Subcutaneous acne. What can not be done with them?
To prevent the occurrence of subcutaneous acne on the nose, you need to carry out simple manipulations. Makeup must be removed at night. This is done so that the pores are not clogged.
It is highly recommended to use disposable paper towels for the face, as bacteria can appear on simple fabrics during use. Do not squeeze a red pimple on your nose, so as not to provoke the spread of infection to he althy areas of the skin.
It is especially dangerous to deal with a pimple inside the nose, as pathogenic microbes can enter the bloodstream. It is not recommended to steam the skin: this will only help to activate the inflammation process. When a pimple popped up on the nose, it is strictly forbidden to pierce and pick it. From this there is a risk of spreading infection in the body.
In fact, there are a huge number of different types of acne, but whatever the reasons for their occurrence, there are only certain universal requirements in the fight against them: clean hands, caution in handling, patience and willingness to turn in very difficult cases for medical help.
