 facial bacteria

What do you know about facial bacteria?

Special types of facial bacteria cause inflammation of hair follicles. This inflammation can occur anywhere in the body where hair grows, such as: head, neck, abdomen, thighs, etc.

This infection often causes a type of bacteria called Staphylococcus Aureus, where these bacteria live naturally on the skin, but any imbalance in the balance of bacteria living on the skin increases the growth of face bacteria to become an infection and show symptoms.

Each hair has a bulb under the skin, enveloped by a special pod containing the hair follicle and sebaceous glands. This bursa can be inflamed by facial bacteria, fungal infection, or other infections. The inflammation initially appears as a red bulge with a white head surrounding the hair. The infection can develop into a rash and bruising. The facial bacteria can infect one hair follicle, and can spread throughout the body.

Injury from infection from facial bacteria can be recovered in mild cases through daily personal care measures. In advanced or recurrent cases, consult your doctor to prescribe appropriate medication.

Factors that increase the risk of infection of the face bacteria

The skin forms a protective layer that prevents any kind of infection from entering the body. There are many bacteria on the skin that live naturally and are useful for the human body, but there are many factors that work to change this balance and give the harmful face bacteria a greater chance to reproduce and cause the disease, Of which:

Other diseases weaken the body's resistance to facial bacteria such as diabetes, leukemia, or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome.

Acne or dermatitis at the same time.

Some types of drugs such as cortisone or antibiotics for long periods of time to treat acne, which affect the balance of beneficial bacteria coexist on the surface of the skin in humans, increasing the possibility of growth of harmful face bacteria.

Men are more prone to infection of face bacteria, specifically those with curly hair. When shaving repeatedly, the chance to wrap the hair around itself remains subcutaneous, making it a suitable place for the growth of facial bacteria.

Wear certain types of clothing that keep the heat and cause sweating, such as rubber gloves or high-legged shoes made of leather. These clothes block the ventilation of the pores of the skin and fill them with sweat and fatty secretions.

Do not shower after sweating heavily and clean the body well, as the accumulation of sweat to provide a very suitable environment for the growth of harmful face bacteria.

Removal of facial hair with wax or excessive shave that causes damage to hair follicles, in addition to the possibility of skin exposure to wounds during shaving, contribute to the entry of bacteria face to the bulb hair and cause inflammation.

Use hot pools such as Jacuzzi or sauna immediately after hair removal, where the pores are wide, and the skin irritated, so the opportunity to enter the bacteria face to the skin and infection easier.

Swimming in the water ponds immediately after the exit from the hot pools, where it facilitates the entry of bacteria also because of the expansion of the pores of the skin.

Symptoms of infection of the face bacteria

The following symptoms appear when infection with facial bacteria:

Redness and itching.

Pain and swelling.

Whitehead redheads appear.

Small white rectangles filled with pus.

Types of infections caused by bacteria of skin and face

Infections caused by skin and facial bacteria are divided into superficial infections and deep infections affecting skin layers,

Superficial hair follicle inflammation

Inflammation of bacterial hair follicles

Is the most common type and occurs as a result of the entry of harmful facial bacteria to the skin layers after injury, and the form of blisters filled with pus, painful and cause itching. Disappear without leaving scars or effects, the use of antibiotic in the form of topical ointment may be useful and accelerate healing.

Inflammation of hair follicles

Chronic inflammation of the face is usually caused by men in the beard area and around the mouth due to continuous skin contact caused by shaving, as a result of wrapping the hair under the skin. It is in the form of white blisters surrounding the hair, and redness of the skin, accompanied by pain and irritation.

In some untreated cases, the infection spreads deeper into the skin, leaving scarring around the blisters, and may spread to the eye and cause inflammation of the conjunctiva.

Inflammation of hot swimming pools

Caused by a type of bacteria found in ponds and hot tubs where chlorine levels are not monitored and the pH balance is adequately maintained. Symptoms usually occur within 72 hours of swimming on areas exposed to water. Symptoms usually disappear gradually without treatment within 5 days.

Deep hair follicle inflammation

The arrival of facial bacteria to the inner layers of the skin causes a deep and chronic inflammation, resulting in hemorrhoids filled with pus, accompanied by redness and irritation in the affected area, with pain and rise in body temperature.

Patients with AIDS are particularly susceptible to facial bacteria, which cause itching and redness with blisters in the affected area and leave after treatment dark spots and pigmentation on the skin.

Complications of infection of the face bacteria

Exposure to facial bacteria is a widespread disease, and can be treated properly and easily in most cases, but the development of surface inflammation to a deep and chronic inflammation may lead to a range of complications, including:

Cellulitis.

Large, painful abscesses, especially in the area around the nose, can move bacteria into the large boils to the brain causing meninges and other serious complications, but this occurs in advanced cases.

Chronic folliculitis when it causes the destruction of hair follicles occurs permanent hair loss and rashes in the affected area.

Be permanent scars and dark pigments.

Frequent infection is repeated in patients with HIV.

Diagnosis of infection of facial bacteria

The doctor examines the skin rash caused by the face bacteria clinically. It is important in the clinical examination to distinguish between inflammation of the follicles caused by facial bacteria, and acne, where both are similar at one stage with white blisters filled with pus or fat.

In some cases where the infection is repeated, the doctor needs to determine the type of bacteria causing the disease and describe the appropriate antibiotic.

Treatment of face and skin bacteria

The treatment of inflammation caused by facial bacteria varies according to the condition, the degree of infection, the type of inflammation, and the condition of the patient in general.

In mild cases such as hot pool inflammation, the rash disappears within several days without any treatment, but in other cases the patient needs to:

An appropriate antibiotic is prescribed by the doctor as an ointment.

Anti-allergic to reduce irritation and itching in the affected area.

Analgesic.

Warm water compresses to reduce pain and congestion.

Clean the infected area periodically to speed healing.

Treatment in cases of deep inflammation of the hair follicle and be a hemorrhage

It is very important not to press the boils and try to empty the pus from inside, it may cause the transmission of bacteria to deeper places in the face and the occurrence of complications more serious, especially if the boils are around the nose, so the doctor emptied pus from the boils by a small wound under sterile conditions, It is possible to prescribe an oral or topical antibiotic to speed up the healing process.

Protection against infection of face bacteria

Protect against infection of the face bacteria by following simple things such as:

Use hair shampoos before shave, and be careful to shave with the direction of hair growth to avoid stimulating the reversal of hair growth and twisting.

Avoid shaving as much as possible, and use alternatives to shaving, such as laser hair removal, where studies have shown that the use of laser hair removal, especially when the presence of curly hair and thick reduces the possibility of inflammation in the follicles as a result of hair wrap, reduce hair and thickness by 50%.

Do not wear tight clothing that causes friction.

Bathing after extreme sweating.

Ensure the cleanliness and sterilization of hot swimming pools and not use them immediately after shaving and hair removal.

Ventilate the skin and do not use powders that close the pores for long periods.

Do not share personal shaving tools.
