Got Papules...red, coned shaped, inflamed lesions? Let's tackle them together
Papules are small and usually coned shaped, inflamed lesions. Unlike pustules, they contain no pus and no head. They are considered a moderate type of acne.
These lesions occur when there is a high break in the follicle wall. That's when white blood cells try to fix the problem and your pores become inflamed.
Usually this type of acne is very tiny, almost invisible to see. My experience with these lesions, they have a rather rough feel to them.
You don't normally develope just one, these guys usually show up in clusters. Don't feel overwhelmed, getting control of this type of acne is not as difficult as the more serious
types of acne.
You should consider the best medicine for acne, fortunately this is another type of acne that responds well to products which contain
Benzoyl Peroxide
or Salicylic Acid.
Another good point, is you can find acne products which contain Benzoyl Peroxide in a lot of convenient over the counter acne products.
In addition to using Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid, when it comes to papules, I’ve had great experience with
Murad’s Acne Spot Treatment!
This is a wonderful product that
contains 3.0% Sulfur.
The trick to Murad’s Spot Treatment is to use it consistently, throughout the day. It literally shrinks those blemishes right up.
• Hydrate • Be hypoallergenic • Non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores)
If you are not able to get control of your breakouts, your battle with
papules may require oral ance medication
such as Accutane or Tetracycline, to aid in your treatment. For this, you'll need to visit your dermatologist.
