Shenya Jones, a 34-year-old female, arrives at the office with a swelling and a red pustule on her face. She states the problem started two days ago as a small pimple near her nose. It became irritated then became extremely swollen and painful overnight. This morning there was yellow drainage noted at the site and the swelling has increased. The area of drainage is approximately 1 cm in diameter. The upper lip, side of the face, and nose are all swollen. She rates the pain in her face as a 7 out of 10. The physician thinks the condition may be impetigo or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a type of skin infection that is resistant to the common antibiotics used to treat it. A wound culture is obtained.

1. Considering the structures of the skin, what most likely was the cause of the original pimple on this patient's skin?

2. How could Shenya have prevented this skin infection?
Can someone help me please i will pay i have to do this by 12am today no later than that

1. a sebaceous gland, the types of glands that secrete the oils that keep your skin healthy, likely became a bit clogged and infected. this could have happened for any number of reasons, such as an excess of oil production due to hormones, or buildups of oil due to makeup or improper cleaning.
2. she could have prevented it by not touching the pimple and letting it heal on its own, instead of aggravating the small initial infection. she also could have cleaned her face every morning and night and worn light facial makeup, if any.
