One of the most important steps in successfully treating pimple is first determining the grade of pimple that is present. Once the grade is known the different treatment methods can be explored and the most effective pimple treatment applied.
Treatments can range from home based pimple remedies, natural pimple treatment or even herbal pimple treatment.
Grade 1 Pimple
This is the mildest form of pimple. There is no inflammation present with Grade 1 Pimple and there will be small pimples that appear in small numbers and very occasionally. Blackheads can be present.
Early adolescence usually sees the onset of Grade 1 pimple. The common areas affected are the nose and forehead regions. Milia are also commonly found in the chin and eye area. Adults can also experience Grade 1 Pimple.
Grade 1 pimple can be treated very successfully at home. Over the counter products (non prescribed products) can be used to treat it with a systematic 3 part approach:
1. Facial Wash - Ensure you are washing the affected area twice a day with a mild cleanser. This will unclog your pores, remove excess sebum (oil), eradicate whiteheads and blackheads and allow faster healing.
2. Attack Pimple at its roots - Take a herbal supplement to attack the pimple at its source. This will reduce inflammation, swelling, redness and assist in treating any pimple scarring.
3. If your skin begins to peel due to the drying nature of pimple products you can apply an oil free cream. This will assist in removing impurities and excess sebum whilst moisturizing your skin and giving it a healthy look.
Proactively treating pimple while it is still in the Grade 1 stage will help prevent it from moving into the Grade 2 phase.
Grade 2 Pimple
This is considered to be moderate pimple. Blackheads and Milia will be present on the skin in increased numbers. Papules and Pustules will also begin to form in Grade 2 pimple. Inflammation of the skin will start to be present and greater breakout activity will start to appear.
The spread of pimple can being to move in this phase from the forehead and nose area to the shoulders, chest and also the back.
Grade II pimple, just like Grade 1, can be treated at home using over the counter products. Treating your body internally with a herbal supplement and cleansing on a daily basis are recommended.
It is possible for Grade 2 pimple to progress and move into Grade 3 pimple. The chance of this happening are increased if you squeeze or pick at the pimples.
Grade 3 Pimple
Grade 3 pimple is viewed as severe pimple. During Grade 3 your skin will be visibly inflamed and reddened. Whilst Papules and Pustules are still present the formation of nodules will begin.
The affected ares during Grade 3 include the face, back, shoulders, chest and neck. Due to the pimple spreading and moving deeper the likelihood of suffering from pimple scarring increases.
It would be recommended to seek a consultation with a dermatologist for the treatment of Grade 3 pimple. Grade 3 pimple could also progress and become Grade 4 pimple.
Grade 4 Pimple
This is the most severe form of pimple and is sometimes referred to as cystic pimple.
Papules, Pustules and Nodules will be present on the sin. However, Cysts will begin to form whilst the breakouts experienced and the level of inflammation is severe.
The extent of cystic pimple can cover the face, chest, back, upper arms and the shoulders. In all likelihood it will lead to pimple scarring.
It is highly recommended to consult a dermatologist if you suffer from Grade 4 pimple.
