The world's largest pimple is the carbuncle.
It is rightfully believed that the largest pimple in the world is the carbuncle. Popularly it is also called firebug. Probably because during the ripening period it simply burns with fire, turns red and even turns blue.

A carbuncle is a type of boil, or rather several boils combined together. It can reach truly enormous sizes.
There have been cases where the carbuncle grew the size of a child's palm. When it was cut, an incredible amount of pus came out.
Of course, no normal person would wait for such a monster to grow up. When the first serious symptoms appear, you should contact a surgeon.
Many people have encountered boils in their lives. They usually appear in the place where there is hair. They most often occur in the neck, groin or armpits.
First, the hair follicle becomes inflamed, then an unpleasant, painful boil appears. If several follicles become inflamed at the same time, then this is the beginning of the birth of a carbuncle. Here you have to be extremely careful - not to allow the biggest pimple to appear.
Well, if it does arise, it will take about two weeks to ripen. Of course, it happens that the carbuncle disappears on its own, but the symptoms that accompany its maturation can be quite painful.
The carbuncle looks truly terrifying. You can watch on the Internet what the biggest pimple is like in a video, I must say, it’s very impressive.
Under no circumstances should you squeeze out a carbuncle or even a boil yourself. This can only be done by a competent specialist.

Large pimples and the reasons for their appearance
Some people have a tendency to develop acne of various kinds, while for others they are extremely rare guests. This probably depends largely on the state of the body's immune system. Very often, large pimples appear on the neck. Many professional violinists suffer from this.

Quite often, boils or even carbuncles appear on the buttocks of people engaged in sedentary work.
Consequently, one of the reasons for the appearance of acne of this kind is an insufficient supply of blood to the tissues at the site of compression.
A painful large pimple may also appear on the thighs or buttocks after exposure to cold.
However, the main reason for such an unpleasant phenomenon is insufficient hygiene.
Especially often, due to failure to comply with basic hygiene requirements, boils, and possibly carbuncles, appear in the groin area, armpits and even on the face. One of the reasons may be irritation after poor shaving.
If a person does not pay enough attention to keeping the scalp clean, excess sebum clogs the hair ducts, the follicles become inflamed, which can result in a huge pimple. It is especially painful on the back of the head or neck.
In this case, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible, without ever trying to solve the problem yourself.

The most pimply celebrities
Everyone knows that many celebrities in real life are not as beautiful and ideal as they appear on the screen or in glossy magazines.
Even huge earnings cannot correct their problems with appearance and skin. Acne is one of the main scourges of stars. It is known that Cameron Diaz rarely attended parties and prestigious gatherings due to bouts of acne. For a long time she used special creams costing more than ten thousand, most likely this helped her cope with the painful problem. It is possible that the problem is not in the creams at all. The clearness of the skin could be affected by hormonal changes that occurred after the age of forty.
Actress Cameron Diaz has serious skin problems, including acne.
Katy Perry, who is the dream of many teenagers, often experiences the same skin problems as her fans. Despite the fact that she is no longer sixteen, her face, and sometimes her body, is covered with acne. Often the skin fails such a famous person as Rihanna.
One of the richest models, Kate Moss, tirelessly fights acne. The whims of the body are reflected on Olivia Wilde's face from time to time.
Even Hollywood stars have acne
Paris Hilton overcame the problem of acne as a teenager, but now, when she is already over thirty, her face is covered with acne that does not decorate the girl.
Multiple procedures costing more than fifteen thousand dollars a week, carried out by Victoria Beckham, do not save from pimples. Sometimes Gwyneth Paltrow loses her beauty due to purulent red spots on her face. Singer Britney Spears also suffered from acne problems.
Lily Cole, who often appears on the pages of Citizen K, Vogue and Numéro, looks completely unattractive without makeup; the red-haired girl has red pimples on her face. Her unusual beauty is the result of considerable efforts of stylists and cosmetologists.
Britney Spears also has acne
Luckily for celebrities, they don't have to worry too much about acne. After all, the whole beauty industry is watching this. But according to uznayvse.ru, the most beautiful women in the world have completely different problems.
Large pimple on the face: symptoms and possible complications
In addition to the neck, buttocks, and thighs, large pimples are often localized in the lumbar region or between the shoulder blades. As a rule, they occur one at a time. Initially, several small pustules or bumps appear at the site of inflammation of the hair follicles.

Later, these bumps turn into one huge dome-shaped pimple. This is a full-fledged young carbuncle.
It will ripen within a week or two. This increases skin tension and pain. The bluish tint intensifies towards the center of the cone.
During the ripening period of the carbuncle, weakness, nausea and even vomiting may occur. Many people have headaches and fever.
Carbuncles are very dangerous, because when the infection spreads deeper, not only the skin and muscle tissue, but even bones and blood vessels can become infected.
As a result, severe complications can occur, such as osteomyelitis, thrombophlebitis and lymphadenitis.
It is worth noting separately that large pimples on the face are the most dangerous, since the infection can easily enter the bloodstream and lead to the appearance of purulent meningitis, because the brain tissue is in close proximity to the source of infection.
That is why, as soon as the first visual symptoms of a carbuncle appear, there is a direct path to an experienced surgeon. Trying to influence the situation on your own is very dangerous.

At the very beginning, the specialist will prescribe anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial ointments, which can be quite effective, and the inflammatory process will stop on its own.
However, if a carbuncle, the largest pimple in existence, appears, surgical intervention will most likely be required.
The doctor carefully dissects the upper part of the carbuncle and squeezes out the pus and necrotic masses that have formed.
The larger the pimple, the deeper the ulcer left after treatment. That’s why you shouldn’t wait until everything resolves itself.
You should go to the doctor immediately, especially if the carbuncle appears in the head or neck.

How should it be treated?
Under no circumstances should you squeeze the largest pimple. The video presented on Internet sites captured such a moment, but this does not mean that all actions are legal. After all, this carbuncle practically consists of pus, which cannot be removed 100% on your own; it will go deeper, and the possible complications of this are described above. In the end, such self-medication can cost your life.
The very first thing to remember is that wherever a large pimple appears - on the back, on the neck, on the thighs, etc. - you should first consult a doctor.
- While the carbuncle is still maturing, lubricating it with iodine is quite effective.
- It is recommended to treat the skin around it with ethyl and salicylic alcohol or brilliant green.
- At the very beginning of the maturation of the carbuncle, the doctor may prescribe treatment with antibiotics - in the form of intramuscular injections and injection of an appropriate anti-inflammatory solution, so to speak, into the focus of a large pimple.
- Sometimes in the initial stage it is enough to lubricate with antibiotic agents: levomekol, syntomycin. You can dissolve chloramphenicol tablets in water and make lotions with this solution.
- Ointments based on tetracycline or erythromycin are popular.
- Dimexide has good absorption, so it is recommended to use it in the form of lotions (in a one-to-one ratio).
- Table salt is good at drawing out toxins from the skin. A gauze swab is moistened with a saline solution in the proportion of 10 tablespoons of water and 1 teaspoon of salt and applied to the pimple for an hour.
- At the initial stage, “lotions” of syntomycin or streptomycin emulsions can help.
- Depending on the established cause, autohemotherapy may be prescribed, i.e. transfusion of the patient's blood from his vein into the buttock.
- Often the carbuncle has to be opened in a clinical setting.
- A proven and safe method is to take dry brewer's yeast. They are usually drunk a teaspoon before each meal. The beneficial amino acids in their composition help increase the body’s self-defense - increase immunity and also remove toxins accumulated during inflammation.
- Rye bread chewed with salt, from which they make a flat cake, fixing it like a compress on a sore spot.
- Laundry soap, honey, plantain decoction - all this can help cope with the disease.
