What is Papule?

A papule is a raised area of skin tissue that’s less than 1 centimeter around. A papule can have distinct or indistinct borders. It can appear in a variety of shapes, colours, and sizes. It’s not a diagnosis or disease.

Examples of papules include:

Papules are often called skin lesions, which are essentially changes in your skin’s colour or texture. Sometimes, papules cluster together to form a rash.

Symptoms

Papules are by definition, small, usually less than a centimeter in size, which is about the width of your fingernail. Your papule may have a dome shape, or it may be flat on the top.

They don’t have a pus-filled tip, but they’re still noticeable. They may be red, tender, painful or irritating.

Causes

Your oil (sebaceous) glands produce too much oil.
An increased presence of bacteria on your skin.
An increased presence of androgens, which are a group of sex hormones.
Some medications, including corticosteroids and anabolic steroids.

These juicy red veggies are loaded with vitamin C, vitamin K, iron and potassium. In addition to this, tomatoes contain several carotenoids that are rich in antioxidants. These carotenoids are natural astringents, which help to open up pores on the skin. Therefore, it makes sense to use them to remove blemishes on the face.

Other Remedies

Holding a cube of ice on acne before bed should visibly decrease the inflammation and swelling. It may also reduce the chances of scarring after your skin has cleared up.

Clay masks: A mask that contains natural clays can draw oil and dirt from the skin, reducing the incidence of pimples.
Apple cider vinegar: The acetic acid in apple cider vinegar kills off bacteria (antibacterial). If you have sensitive skin, apple cider vinegar can cause dryness and irritation, so it’s a good idea to mix it with an equal amount of water. Apply a small amount of the mixture to a cotton applicator and rub it on your papules.
Green tea: Wet green tea leaves have anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce oil production in your skin. Mix dry green tea leaves with water and massage the wet leaves onto your papules in small, circular motions for up to 30 seconds. Rinse your face with water when you’re finished.
Honey: Honey contains an enzyme called catalase, which relieves minor inflammation. Apply enough unprocessed honey to cover your papules lightly. To avoid accidentally causing a sticky mess, you can also put a bandage on top of your honey-covered papules.
Ice: Ice slows down the amount of blood that flows to an area, reducing inflammation and pain. Apply an ice cube or ice pack covered in a light towel over your papules for at least 10 minutes. Apply ice to your papules up to two to three times a day.
Lemon juice: The citric acid in lemon juice is antibacterial. Apply a small amount of lemon juice to a cotton applicator and rub it on your papules. Lemon juice may cause stinging or further irritation if you have sensitive skin, especially when exposed to the sun.
Tea tree oil: Tea tree oil can prevent or stop the growth of bacteria. Apply a small amount of tea tree oil to a cotton applicator and rub it on your papules.
Essential oils: Diluting and applying essential oils with anti-inflammatory properties, such as tea tree oil or rosemary oil, to the affected areas may reduce the pain and inflammation of pimples.
Aloe vera gel: Aloe vera is a natural substance with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
