BACKGROUND: WHAT’S GOING ON DOWN THERE?‘Plugging’ In To What Happens Next - PimplesWhen too much ‘material’ (sebum, keratin, bacteria) builds up the pore or hair follicle can rupture internally discharging the oil and bacteria into the surrounding tissue area it becomes a visible red bump or a papule pimple (papular acne). What is actually happening is the vessels near the skin are dilating to increase the flow of blood into the area. The reddening of the skin due to this inflammation is technically called Erythema. THIS IS A GOOD THING - it is your body working to supply blood and oxygen to the infected area to fight it off. When you stop this process, you stop the healing.Sometimes this inflammation can form deep under the skin. When it goes beyond a surface whitehead or the papule grows bigger than 10 mm and becomes a larger painful lump it’s called a cyst or a nodule or ‘cystic’ or ‘nodular’ acne. This type of acne occurs when material from the comedo escapes under the skin. Teens who develop this kind of nodular acne are usually referred to a doctor. When adults develop these kinds of large painful cysts it is referred to as acne tarda. If you have this kind of condition it is best to keep under a doctor’s care while trying to heal your other ‘picking issues’. INSERT GRAPHIC - Fingers squeezing pimple and pressure lines below surface. Picking or squeezing can cause this internal rupturing or make existing problems worse. It can cause fluid (blood, bacteria, oil, etc.) to leak into surrounding tissues and cause additional inflammation or ’extravasation’. You know you’ve been told this a thousand times, “Picking makes it worse,” but it’s difficult to see that without realizing just how delicate and complex an organ the skin is.
