Pustuleid

Pustuleid, also known as pustules, are small, raised, inflamed spots on the skin that contain pus. They are a common symptom of various skin conditions, including acne, impetigo, and folliculitis. Pustules form when the skin's follicles become infected or inflamed, leading to the accumulation of white blood cells and dead skin cells. They typically appear as small, red bumps with a white or yellowish center, which is the pus. Pustules can vary in size, ranging from a few millimeters to several centimeters in diameter. They may be painful or itchy, depending on the underlying condition. Treatment for pustules depends on the cause and may include topical creams, oral medications, or antibiotics. In some cases, pustules may resolve on their own without treatment. Pustules are a common feature of many skin conditions and can be a sign of an underlying infection or inflammation. If pustules are accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, chills, or severe pain, medical attention should be sought.
