Painful Pimples Solutions

One of the worst things that can happen to a teenager is a painful pimple and acne.  Although it is common on teenagers, painful pimples can be found on any adult.  Generally, painful pimples are caused by hormonal imbalances, which upset the oil and moisture level of the skin.  Face skin is especially affected as it has more sensitive skin pores and electrochemical processes compared to other parts of the body. 

Due to these imbalances of the hormonal and moisture levels of your skin, the skin pores can get clogged and become infected with bacteria that is usually found on the skin.  Under normal circumstances, these bacteria are harmless, but having them infect clogged up skin pores can lead to serious infections of pimples.  In actuality, the pimple is not the infection itself; but rather the aftermath of the body, which fights off the infection and deposits body matter and dead bacteria. 

Since the skin pores are clogged, it’s impossible for the pus that is deposited in the pores (pus is comprised of dead skin cells, dead bacteria, iron compounds, bodily matter etc) to get out of your skin.  Thus, it becomes red and swollen as the area in which where it is found becomes inflamed.  This is a painful process to under go and painful pimples can be both annoying and painful.  In addition, painful pimples can lead to scarring, if they are not handled properly.  However, there are painful pimples solutions that are available, but they all take patience and perseverance to work.

The first step in a solution to painful pimples comes from personal hygiene.  The biggest problem of painful pimples is that that they can be prone to secondary infections due to the pus inside the pimple.  The pus can get infected as it becomes in contact with other bacteria that are found in dirt, mud and grease.  The secondary infections can also spread more quickly creating a huge pimple outbreak in your face, which can be painful and dangerous.  Thus washing your face three times a day with antibacterial soap can help greatly at least in preventing secondary infections of your pimples.  In addition, using lots of mild skin cleansers to wash off the oily film that surrounds your skin can aid in opening up your pores so that the skin can breathe easier and so that you can allow your pimples to be healed by natural processes also.  As the area around the pimple can get inflamed as the body’s natural defense mechanism (the immune system) fights of the infections and the foreign substance that has invaded your body.

The second step also includes not using any cosmetics in your face until the painful pimple problem is cleared up.  Using oily based cosmetics can clog up your skim pores more so that it worsens the situation.  In addition, your face may become more sensitive during a pimple outbreak so that using cosmetics may prove allergic to you also.

Then as a third step, you must drink lots of water so that your body can be aided in its natural fight against painful pimples.  Drinking lots of water will help greatly, in such a way that it can help restore the moisture balance in your skin.  Also drinking lots of water will help with the biochemical processes that will help restore the balance to your body.  In addition, you should not eat greasy food or fast food of any kind and you should keep away from chocolate until the painful pimple outbreak is under control.  Usually good dieting with lots of vegetables and liquids can help speed up the process.

The solution to painful pimples requires patience as you must allow the body’s natural mechanism to take care of the pimples.  Washing your face with antibiotic soap, dieting, and not using cosmetics can be enough from pimple recovery.  However, you should never touch the pimple or try to break it open as this can cause the pus to break open and infect the other areas of your skin so that new and fresh pimples are formed.  This can worsen the situation much more.  You should be patient, you should adhere to the suggestions stated above, and you should be clear of a painful pimple in couple of days.  If it becomes persistent, than a visit to your dermatologist becomes in order.
