In the last couple of days I have had a sudden burst of pimples on my chin. More painful and red then normal. Yesterday I noticed what seems like a swollen gland under my chin. My throat doesn t hurt at all. Is the swollen gland due to an infection with the pimples? What can I do forth is?
Pimples are blocked sebaceous glands in the skin which when get infected become painful and red. These are generally blocked by excessive oil secretion by skin which forms a plug with dust, debris from rejuvenating skin. The treatment should be frequent washing of face to wipe out excess oil, Suffer soaps are having good detergent and antiseptic qualities for the same. You can apply an antiseptic cream or a Pimple cream like Clearasil Or CNIL on the pimples. Avoid using any cosmetic on face. And protect face from sunlight. If the problem persists consult your local dermatologist.
