In the cold season, any person's immunity is reduced. This leads to the fact that the body is not able to withstand various viruses and bacteria. Therefore, how to remove colds in the autumn-winter period, is becoming a rather pressing issue. The reason for their appearance is humid weather, low temperature, drafts and hypothermia. It should be noted that dealing with them is quite difficult.
Most often, such formations arise on the face, so the question of their removal becomes very acute. They not only bring discomfort, but also worsen the appearance. Next, we’ll look at how they differ from acne, what problems the body can talk about, and how to get rid of them.
Signs
It should be noted that the treatment of colds is a difficult process. They are considered complex subcutaneous formations. Such acne appears gradually. Seals form, which eventually become very inflamed. A bright red tubercle may appear on the face. The skin will be inflamed and, most likely, will swell. If compared with ordinary acne, then such a pimple does not have a top in which pus would be contained. It is almost impossible to squeeze it out, since it has a denser structure. Such acne ripens for a long time, sometimes it takes about one to two weeks for this period. Features of common acne are the following factors:
- appear only in cold weather;
- accompanied by severe pain;
- an extensive inflammatory process develops;
- a long ripening period is observed.
The dangers
Such inflammation will be difficult to mask, since it looks like a convex formation of a red tint. If you try to squeeze out a pimple, the situation may be aggravated by the fact that the inflammation begins to spread even more, and also the person will feel unpleasant sensations. If pus, along with germs and viruses, enters the bloodstream, then the infection will begin to affect the entire body. Therefore, if there is a painful cold acne, you must consult a doctor. He will prescribe treatment methods and prescribe certain drugs. They should be taken only in appropriate dosages. You can also use ointments.
Causes
Most often, colds on the body appear due to reduced immunity. However, this is not the only sign due to which such formations may arise. They are provoked by chronic diseases associated with the endocrine and digestive systems, infections and viruses, hormonal disruptions, stress, depression and other disorders due to nervous system, gynecological problems, lack of vitamins and nutrients, as well as several external factors, for example, cold and drafts.
Quite often, common acne is associated with internal inflammation. Where they appeared may indicate some health problems. There is even a scheme, thanks to which you can determine the relationship with internal organs:
- If acne appears on the forehead, then this indicates that the person has problems with the intestines, as well as chronic intoxication. It is necessary to clean your body.
- If rashes appear along the hairline, then this person has problems with the gall bladder.
- A catarrhal pimple on the chin indicates that the patient has chronic inflammation associated with the gastrointestinal tract.
- Formations appear on the head due to infectious diseases, as well as hypothermia and due to problems with hormones. Most often they cause a headache and bring discomfort.
- A cold pimple on the nose is the result of a blockage of the sebaceous and sweat glands. Often, such an education does not speak of any other infections or diseases. There is increased oily skin on the nose, which creates a good environment for acne. Also, after a cold, they often appear in this place.
- Pimple on the lip indicates that a person has an infectious disease. Also, its occurrence could provoke hypothermia. He could appear and in response to the habit of constantly licking his lips.
If a person has acne jumped up due to some reason, then in order to get rid of it, it is necessary to eliminate the main disease. Only after its elimination can you cope with this skin problem, as the functions of the immune system are restored.
