Can medical cold compress patches remove pimples?
I am 22 years old this year. Recently, I have developed some pimples. I would like to ask whether medical cold compress patches can eliminate pimples.

In general, pimples refer to acne. Medical cold compress patches cannot eliminate acne, but they may provide some auxiliary benefits. The primary function of medical cold compress patches is to alleviate inflammatory symptoms such as skin redness and swelling, promote vasoconstriction, and prevent the spread of inflammation. For existing acne, medical cold compress patches may not directly eliminate the lesions, but they can serve as an adjunctive method to help relieve discomfort caused by acne.
The causes of acne are complex and involve multiple factors such as excessive sebum production, abnormal follicular keratinization, bacterial infection, and inflammatory responses. Mild acne may result from localized inflammatory reactions causing redness and swelling. In such cases, using a medical cold compress patch can help reduce inflammation and alleviate swelling, making the skin appear less inflamed. However, for deeper forms of acne, such as cystic or nodular acne, simply relying on medical cold compress patches cannot achieve a curative effect. These types of acne are closely related to overactive sebaceous glands, follicular blockage, bacterial infection, and other factors, and require comprehensive treatment through oral medications, topical agents, or other professional therapies.
It is recommended to maintain facial cleanliness and follow a balanced diet in daily life. Regularly clean the face and avoid using overly oily skincare products. Also, limit consumption of high-sugar, high-fat, and spicy foods, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. If acne is severe, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for professional diagnosis and treatment.
