Acne in the décolleté and neck area: causes of rashes in women on the neck

Reasons for appearance

The formation of acne in the décolleté area is possible for the following reasons.

Seborrhea and keratosis

Seborrhea is associated with hormonal imbalance, when male sex hormones predominate over female ones. As a result, there is an increase in the secretion of the sebaceous glands, and due to contamination of the outer integument, plugs are formed.

Also, women who abuse sports nutrition and supplements with a high content of steroids are prone to developing a rash in the décolleté area.

The appearance of acne on the skin due to seborrhea is often caused by non-compliance with personal hygiene rules. The epidermis clogs the ducts of the sebaceous glands, and the fatty secretion binds them, which reduces the ability to exfoliate.

With keratosis, acne in the décolleté area occurs due to the layering of keratinized cells on top of each other, which accumulate at the roots of the hair. The skin becomes lumpy and unpleasant to the touch.

Allergy

Increased sensitivity of the body to any product can occur in any person. It often manifests itself in the form of pimples on the skin of the neck and décolleté. It is important to distinguish an allergic rash from dermatological defects of other etiologies, provide timely assistance and exclude the allergen, since in the future the accumulation of toxins can cause shock or Quincke's edema.

Rashes from allergic reactions are usually small and red in color. They are accompanied by itching and may swell slightly. After stopping contact with the allergen, the negative reaction on the skin goes away.

Stress

Pimples in the décolleté area often appear after nervous overload. The rash appears suddenly, spreading throughout the body, most often it is red pimples that do not have additional symptoms. When the emotional state is restored, the formations go away on their own.

Types of acne on the décolleté area

Due to these reasons, the form of rashes in the décolleté area can be varied:

Red pimples. They densely cover the skin, merging into one large hyperemic spot. Often the formations are accompanied by an inflammatory process and cause itching, burning and pain. Basically, the rash appears under the influence of an allergen or when the external temperature changes.
White rashes. Pimples have the appearance of a tubercle (comedone) without significant symptoms. They are associated with improper personal hygiene and are formed when dead epidermal cells accumulate and layer.
Purulent pimples (acne). A pathological process that occurs due to the penetration of microorganisms into the comedone. The rash is accompanied by inflammation and itching.
Subcutaneous acne. Appear when the body's defenses decrease or parasites (Demodex mites) penetrate the skin.

If this type of rash is detected, you should consult a doctor, as this may be a sign of the development of endocrine diseases.

First aid measures

If rashes appear, accompanied by severe itching or burning, you should consult a doctor to determine the exact cause of acne and conduct the necessary examinations.

First aid to reduce skin symptoms:

Spot treatment of pimples. You can use calendula infusion or salicylic acid.
For subcutaneous pimples, lubricate them with antibacterial ointment at night or make a compress to quickly ripen the comedones.
The inflammatory process decreases after using pharmaceutical ointments (Baziron, Skinoren).
You can make lotions from a solution with sea salt or apply aloe leaves to them.

Treatment methods

After the necessary research, the doctor selects a treatment regimen based on the reasons that caused the formations on the skin.

Treatment of acne should be comprehensive and include the use of medications, adherence to a special diet and, if necessary, physical therapy.

Drug therapy

The course is selected depending on the factor influencing the appearance of rashes.

Basic treatment regimens:

local anti-inflammatory drugs (syntomycin, zinc ointment);
antibacterial drugs (“Zinerit”);
antiseptic solutions (chlorhexidine);
drying agents containing alcohol (salicylic or boric solution);
pharmaceutical mixtures of several components that have several effects at once;
for allergies use antihistamines;
steroid-based ointments (prescribed by a doctor in severe cases, with serious hormonal changes in the body).

All procedures are carried out with clean hands. Before applying the products, you must thoroughly wash and steam your skin.

Folk remedies

When a person develops hypersensitivity to purchased medications, alternative therapy methods are used.

Frequently wash problem areas with laundry or tar soap, use soap suds as a compress several times a week.
Grind the leaves of a three-year-old aloe and wrap in gauze. Apply to skin and leave for 15 minutes.
Brew celandine, calendula and chamomile. Use as a lotion after the solution has cooled several times a day.
Mix lemon juice with three parts water and wipe the skin morning and evening.

Recipes for ointments and scrubs

Combine olive oil and honey, add tocopherol and a few drops of aloe. Mix and place in a jar with a lid. Apply to pimples daily. The shelf life of the product is about 30 days.
Mix sour cream with cucumber, lemon juice and two yolks. Beat the mixture and add a little alcohol. Use twice a day.
To prepare the scrub, mix orange peel with honey in equal proportions and add a few grams of pepper and cinnamon. Apply to the décolleté area and leave for a few minutes, then massage lightly and rinse.

The difference between fractional laser décolleté rejuvenation and resurfacing

How does laser resurfacing ? This is nothing more than burning with a standard laser the surface of the skin on which there are cosmetic defects. As a result, a large burn is formed, and the damaged tissue is gradually renewed. The procedure is very traumatic, the regeneration process is quite long, it can take several months . And it is not a fact that after healing there will be no scars or age spots will not appear. More serious consequences cannot be excluded - the development of infection and inflammation in a vulnerable area of the skin.

Fractional laser rejuvenation is a lighter treatment. There are no side effects in this case. In another way, this method is called dermal radio wave optical thermolysis (DROT). This is a systemic procedure based on a combination of fractional skin rejuvenation (carried out using the energy of a CO2 laser beam) with thermolysis and neocollagenesis (exposure to RF radiation).

How does the process work? Before the laser begins to process the surface of the skin, a special scanner divides the energy flow into many small beams, they are equidistant from each other. Each such ray acts on a specific area of the skin and eliminates pillar cells on it, creating microthermal zones of damage through them. This can be compared to a kind of matrix made up of damaged and untouched skin fragments. Where destruction has occurred, cell restoration begins, and the skin begins to renew itself.

RF radiation activates tissue regeneration processes, promotes increased production of fibroblasts (cells that play an important role in recovery), normalization of intercellular metabolism - in a word, this energy effect causes skin cells to rejuvenate.

Laser resurfacing using a CO2 machine eliminates scars, scars, acne, warts, moles, and helps get rid of stretch marks and age spots. In addition, it helps solve the problem of enlarged pores.

Prevention

To prevent relapse and maintain beautiful and well-groomed skin for as long as possible, it is recommended to follow a number of rules:

Do not forget about treating the décolleté area, regularly clean and moisturize the skin.
Use natural remedies or pharmaceutical preparations with quality ingredients.
Follow a diet: exclude sweets, smoked foods, spices and fatty foods.
Get rid of bad habits.
Wear clothes made from natural materials, change them when dirty.
Take walks in the fresh air more often, take sunbathing.
Do not squeeze pimples on the chest or face, as this leads to the formation of scars or age spots.
For intense rashes with severe symptoms, seek help from a dermatologist.

A rash in the décolleté area is a problem that can leave behind cosmetic consequences. To prevent this, you should follow all the specialist’s recommendations.

Features of laser décolleté rejuvenation

In recent years, lasers have been actively used in medicine and cosmetology. Thanks to this, many have the opportunity not only to improve their health, but also to make their appearance more attractive. Problems such as pigmentation, acne scars, scars and others associated with skin imperfections easily disappear under the influence of a laser beam.

In addition, laser is an excellent assistant in the fight against signs of aging. Of all the methods for eliminating external age-related changes used in cosmetology, laser rejuvenation (smoothing wrinkles, tightening the oval of the face, getting rid of bags under the eyes) accounts for 75%. This is an effective procedure, but it should only be carried out by a highly professional and experienced cosmetologist, since, in addition to its advantages, laser treatment has disadvantages and contraindications.

Rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck, and hands using a laser beam often allows you to completely get rid of age spots and wrinkles, and remove sagging in certain areas of the body. This is a serious cosmetology technique that requires special equipment. As a rule, laser systems have adjustable parameters - the master can set the desired temperature and depth of beam penetration in each specific case. This is a very important stage of the procedure: not only the beauty, but also the health of the patient depends on the correct selection of settings; the slightest mistake can lead to burns.

The laser beam is adjusted based on information about the type and thickness of the client’s skin, the characteristics of the affected area and the severity of the imperfections that need to be eliminated. The more information the cosmetologist receives, the more accurate the impact parameters will be.

At the first consultation, the specialist explains to the client the specifics of the laser rejuvenation technique for the décolleté and other areas: one session is not enough to get rid of wrinkles; the problem can be radically solved only by going through a course of procedures. After the cosmetologist determines the range of safe and effective settings, he begins the first stage. The essence of laser exposure is that under the influence of high temperature, the destruction of skin cells (burn) occurs, after which the natural process of regeneration begins in the body, as a result, the tissues are renewed (rejuvenated).
