Pimples, as well as summer boils, both are the troublesome skin problems which could cause similar symptoms and hence they are often confused with each other. Pores are the tiny openings in the skin which allow the oil to seep out, thereby keeping the skin soft. A pimple is caused when the pore gets clogged. On the other hand, a boil is known to be a pus-filled lump which is caused as a result of bacterial infection. The appearance of a boil is red and swollen. Pimple treatment in Delhi can be done at home or even as per the treatment recommended by the doctor. It is Always best to see a dermatologist near you for such problems. It is sometimes elusive for even the trained eye i.e the specialist doctors also to differentiate between multiple facial folliculitis and boils and pimples, so it’s best for us not to delay and take proper treatment.
Causes:
A pimple is known to be a result of excess production of oil or a buildup of dead skin cells and bacteria on to the skin. A number of people develop acne or pimples when they enter the age of puberty, this is because of the hormonal changes caused in the body. At the same time, bacteria are known as Propionibacterium acnes also infiltrates the skin to cause pain, irritation, and redness on to the skin. Most commonly, pimples occur on to the face, in some cases, they also appear on the neck and back of a person.
Summer boils are caused as a result of the bacteria namely (usually) Staphylococcus aureus that usually lives on the surface of the skin and can also reach the inner layer of the skin in some cases. Summer boils are also the result of excess “ summer heat” which could result in the boils on the skin. These boils start in the form of a round and a small bump which is a little red and swollen in terms of appearance. A summer boil can also be water-filled or pus-filled. As this bump grows, it increases the pressure on to the skin which causes the boil to drain and rupture. Sometimes infection can also result in watery pus filled blisters which may be highly contagious, this may be impetigo infection.
Excess intake of fruits such as mangoes and various sugary drinks that we consume in this weather are all known to aggravate both cystic acne and facial abscesses and boils.
