Introduction
Water pimples on the nose may be caused by excessive sebaceous gland secretion, contact dermatitis, folliculitis, or other reasons, and treatment should be based on specific conditions. If personal hygiene is neglected, leading to overactive sebaceous gland secretion, symptoms such as pimples and odor may occur. Under a doctor's guidance, medications like isotretinoin soft capsules or Jinhua Xiaocuo Pills can be used for treatment.
Water pimples appearing on the nose may be caused by excessive sebaceous gland secretion, contact dermatitis, folliculitis, or other reasons. Treatment should be based on the specific condition. Details are as follows:
1. Excessive sebaceous gland secretion
If personal hygiene is neglected, leading to overactive sebaceous gland secretion, symptoms such as water pimples and odor may occur. In such cases, medications like isotretinoin soft capsules or Jinhua Xiaocuo Pills may be used under a doctor's guidance.
2. Contact dermatitis
Using nose strips containing allergens on the nose may trigger a local inflammatory reaction, causing water pimples accompanied by pain. Treatment may include topical medications such as triamcinolone acetonide and econazole cream or halometasone cream, as prescribed by a physician.
3. Folliculitis
This is typically a purulent inflammation caused by bacterial infection. Early-stage follicular infection presents as papules, which later develop into pustules. Medications such as cefuroxime axetil tablets or antofloxacin hydrochloride tablets may be used under medical supervision.
In addition to the above causes, similar symptoms may also result from conditions such as impetigo, herpes simplex, or herpes zoster. Avoid scratching with hands and maintain cleanliness of the affected area.
