Red and swollen pimples on the nose can be treated with methods such as topical application of traditional Chinese medicine, hot compresses, erythromycin ointment, and amoxicillin capsules.
1. External application of traditional Chinese medicine
External application of traditional Chinese medicine involves preparing ointments or masks from herbs with heat-clearing, detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects, and applying them directly to the affected area. For example, herbs such as Coptis chinensis and Phellodendron chinense can be decocted, cooled, and then mixed with excipients such as borneol and borax to form a paste, which can be applied several times a day. This is suitable for mild to moderate red and swollen pimples, and can relieve local inflammation and promote skin healing.
2. Apply heat
Gently cover the pimple area with a warm towel or hot water bottle for about 10-15 minutes each time, several times a day. Warm compresses help dilate blood vessels and increase blood circulation, thus reducing redness and swelling. Suitable for mild to moderate red and swollen pimples, but avoid excessive heating to prevent skin damage.
3. Erythromycin ointment
Erythromycin ointment is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat acne caused by bacterial infections. Patients can apply an appropriate amount of erythromycin ointment evenly to the affected area and gently massage until absorbed. It is suitable for red, swollen pimples caused by bacterial infections, especially those with pustules.
4. Amoxicillin capsules
Amoxicillin capsules are penicillin antibiotics that are effective against acne caused by susceptible bacteria. Patients need to take a certain dose of amoxicillin capsules orally as directed by their doctor, usually 30 minutes before each meal. It is suitable for severe, red, and swollen acne caused by susceptible bacteria, and should be used as prescribed by a doctor.
All of the above treatments should be carried out under the guidance of a professional physician. At the same time, it is important to maintain good lifestyle habits, such as a light diet, avoiding staying up late, and reducing stress, in order to help improve the condition of acne.
