Ideally clean skin is not everyone. At some it from a birth pure, smooth, without any defects. Others need to constantly strive to obtain the ideal skin( proper care, balanced nutrition).Sometimes the dermis is covered with rashes, which can be eliminated only with the help of a qualified dermatologist.

What is the papule
Papula is a rash that can occur on the dermis, mucous membranes. When you get one pimple, do not worry too much. But when a lot of acne is formed, it not only causes discomfort, but also causes emotional stress.
The papule is a bubble that has a diameter of 1 to 3 mm. This bubble is sharply outlined, dense. It is slightly elevated above the dermis. Papules on the dermis are similar to dense nodules, which are similar to small balls that appeared on the surface of the dermis. These suppurative pimples are usually accompanied by swelling, suppuration of the dermis.
When pressure is applied to the papule, its color changes. It becomes not so red, but rather pink, pale color. On the formation there is no visible white inflamed head( as on a pustule).Most often, the formation of these acne comes from comedones( closed).If the papule was formed from an open comedone, you can see a dark cork, an enlarged estuary of the hair follicle.
A papular rash can leave cosmetic defects on the dermis( scars).But this is usually the case with severe rash.

What kind of violations it can testify
Usually the formation of papules is a consequence of the immune response to any inflammation. If clogging of the pores occurs, sebum begins to accumulate inside the ducts of the sebaceous gland, the hair follicle. In this case, the walls of the pore stretch, micro-cysts appear.
When the cyst wall breaks, its contents are released into surrounding tissues. The rupture of the wall of the cyst occurs independently or under the influence of different mechanical factors( mechanical cleaning in the cosmetic salon, an attempt to squeeze out the pimple yourself, by feeling the face).When the contents of the cyst hit the surrounding tissues, an immune reaction( aseptic inflammation) occurs, which causes the papule to appear.
