Nodules

Nodules are deep-set blemishes, characteristic of nodular acne, that develop beneath the skin's surface and are often firm to the touch. They can be painful due to the intense inflammation that accompanies them, often requiring specialised treatment to prevent lasting scars.

FAQ about nodules

What is the difference between a nodule and a pustule?

A nodule is a form of deeply inflamed and painful acne spot, located in the dermis, while a pustule is more superficial and less painful, although it is still an inflammatory spot.

What should be done if a nodule appears?

Although nodules are often benign, some can be cancerous. If a suspicious nodule is detected, it is advised to consult a dermatologist.

How to alleviate the pain associated with nodules?

To alleviate the discomfort of nodules, apply cold compresses to reduce inflammation, refrain from handling the area, and utilise topical anti-inflammatory treatments.

Are nodules common in adulthood?

Yes, nodules can occur in adulthood, often due to hormonal factors and stress, although nodular acne is more common in adolescence.

Can nodules become infected?

Nodules can become infected if they are handled or due to bacterial proliferation in the skin, which can exacerbate inflammation and increase the risk of scarring.

What is the difference between a nodule and a cyst?

Nodules and cysts are two similar lumps, but their composition differs. The former are composed of solid tissues, while the latter contain fluid.
