What is the cause of the pustules on the nipples?

If there are pustules on the nipples, you should pay attention to whether it is some chronic skin problem caused by the hair follicles and sebaceous glands, especially for those who have strong skin oil secretion. This can easily cause toxin accumulation, resulting in pustules or acne on the nipples. Some may be caused by some bacterial infections, so we should also pay attention to scientific understanding of the causes and respond to treatment correctly.

1. A common chronic inflammatory skin problem of the sebaceous glands of the hair follicles. It is caused by the strong secretion of skin oil and excessive secretion of male hormones in the body, which easily leads to the accumulation of toxins. It is more likely to occur in areas with more sebaceous glands such as the face, back, and chest, and is often accompanied by sebum secretion. Wash your face frequently with warm water and a mild cleanser several times a day to reduce oiliness of the skin.

2. The skin becomes less greasy, and the chance of dust and other dirt falling on the skin and being sticky is also reduced, which can effectively prevent the blockage of the sebaceous glands and the secondary infection of bacteria. In addition, do not squeeze it with your hands, eat less fat and sugar foods, fried foods, and irritating foods such as onions, garlic, and peppers, eat more fruits and vegetables, and prevent constipation and indigestion. These are all helpful in reducing acne.

3. The pathogens of folliculitis are mainly Staphylococcus aureus, occasionally Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus, Pseudomonas and Escherichia coli. To prevent damage caused by pulling, rubbing, and scratching of hair, keep the skin clean and hygienic, and limit spicy and irritating foods.

2. Topical antiseptic, antipruritic and protective drugs for local treatment (1) 2.5% iodine tincture: For external use, apply to the affected area several times a day. (2) 1% neomycin ointment: For external use, apply to the affected area several times a day.
