Angle bolt

Introduction The angle plug consists of keratin, lipids and dust. The acne hair funnel is expanded, and the material filled with 0.5~3.0MM thick and 1.0~2.0MM long is the angle plug. It is formed by a "plug" of sebum, cell debris and bacteria that blocks at the opening of the hair follicle. Some of them become "blackheads" due to the dust, dirt and oxidation in the air, which gradually turn black into contact with the air. Blackheads are mainly a "plug" of sebum, cell debris and bacteria that are blocked by the opening of the hair follicle. In addition to the dust, dirt and oxidation in the air, the one that comes into contact with the air gradually darkens, so I got such a less elegant title - blackheads. Blackheads are hardened oil and fat obstructions, usually appear on the forehead, nose, etc. of the face. When the oil glands are excessively stimulated and the pores are filled with excess oil and cause blockage, there is often a greasy feeling on the nose and its surrounding parts. These oils eventually harden and become black dots after oxidation. These small spots are the oil blockers called blackheads.

These "keratin plugs" are most often distributed in the nose, where the sebaceous glands are more developed, and where the back, chest and other sebaceous glands are taught. The pores become thick and the sebaceous glands are infected to produce acne. After the keratin plug is detached, although the face feels a little more comfortable, there is not so much "oil", but it will cause the pores to expand and reoccurrence. During this process, the pores gradually enlarged, and finally became abnormally large, and even formed a "small pit." Once the pores become coarse, they are easily attacked by bacteria such as acne bacteria, resulting in symptoms such as pustules, papules, nodules, cysts, and even scars.

Differential diagnosis

1. Blackhead:

Blackhead, also known as blackhead acne, is an open acne (the surface layer of sebum that clogs pores is directly exposed to the outside, in contact with air and dust in the air). It is caused by the oxidation of skin oil in the air. It is black and black. Blackheads are common in adolescents. They occur in the face, chest and back, especially the small blackheads of the nose. The black spots in the pores are shaped like small insects after extrusion and the top is black.

2. Acne:

That is, hemorrhoids, a chronic inflammatory skin disease of the hair follicle sebaceous gland unit, mainly occurs in adolescents, and has a great impact on the psychological and social aspects of adolescents, but it can naturally be alleviated or healed after puberty. The clinical manifestations are characterized by pleomorphic lesions such as acne, papules, pustules, and nodules that occur on the face.
