Acne is a nightmare for anyone and the more difficult it is to remove, the worse it is. Therefore, we will teach you how to remove internal pimples.
Acne in general is a nightmare for anyone, especially those who have oily skin and suffer more from pimples. However, internal pimples can be an even bigger problem. This is because, in addition to the discomfort caused by them, it is more complicated to know how to remove internal pimples correctly.
Scientifically called nodulocystic acne, the internal pimple appears in the second layer of the skin, the dermis, which is why its removal is so difficult. Unlike a normal pimple, which forms in more superficial layers of the skin, an internal pimple has nowhere to go. Therefore, trying to remove it by squeezing can cause even greater inflammation.
Additionally, internal pimples can cause scars and blemishes on the skin. This occurs because nodulocystic acne damages the membrane that separates the first layer of skin from the second. It is in this membrane that the cells responsible for leaving post-inflammation acne spots are present.
How does the internal pimple appear?
Internal pimple is very common in teenagers due to hormonal imbalance. However, some factors such as stress, anxiety, premenstrual period, poor diet, too much sun exposure and the consumption of corticosteroids and vitamin B supplements, can lead to its appearance in adulthood. They form due to the excess production of sebum by the sebaceous glands, which accumulates in the skin.
The action of bacteria that form in the inner region of the skin, around the hair follicles, is also responsible for the formation of internal pimples. Furthermore, there are different types of injuries caused by the internal spine. The inflammatory ones are those formed by elevations of pus (pustules), reddish elevations (papules) and red lumps (nodules). Non-inflammatory internal pimples are formed by more discreet yellowish-white spots.
How to remove inner pimple
The first thing you should know about how to remove internal pimples is: do not pierce or squeeze them. As we have said before, this will increase inflammation and leave scars on the skin. Furthermore, this is not a solution, as the secretion will not come out. The most recommended thing is to see a dermatologist, who will prescribe the best treatment. Some treatments are oral, with the consumption of antibiotics or isotretinoin, which will help reduce sebum production.
However, there are some home treatments to remove internal pimples that can help without damaging the skin. Discover these treatments below.
Is it
One of the recommended solutions is to place ice on the affected area. Apply the ice on a cloth to the area for 5 minutes and remove the ice for 10 minutes. Repeat the process for an hour until the pimple disappears.
Vapor
Heat can also help solve the problem. Therefore, boil some water and place it in a container, letting the steam reach the part of the skin affected by the internal pimple. The heat released by the steam will open the pores, eliminating pimples and blackheads.
Hot water
Another method of removing internal pimples using heat is hot water. So, make a hot water compress with a tissue or cotton and leave it on the area with the pimple for a few minutes. Observe carefully and repeat this process until it disappears completely.
Exfoliation
Exfoliation is a great method for keeping your skin clean and removing dead cells. Therefore, opting for a light exfoliation once a week is a great alternative for removing internal pimples and other impurities from the skin.
How to avoid internal pimple
To prevent internal pimples from appearing, some basic skin care must be taken. A care routine with good skin hygiene to remove pollutant particles, adequate use of sunscreen and hydration are the main measures that must be taken to avoid blackheads and pimples.
Furthermore, nutrition is essential. Therefore, avoid very fatty foods, such as fried foods, and those with little nutritional value, as they greatly influence the skin’s sebum production, which leads to acne. When washing your face, choose antiseptic soap to eliminate the bacteria that cause nodulocystic acne. Furthermore, choose products that are suitable for your skin type, this way, your skin will no longer produce oil or become dry.
