Some people will have small black spots on their nose, cheeks or forehead. For example, like the following:
These small black spots, in most cases, are blackheads.
Blackhead is essentially an open acne. Sebaceous glands secrete exuberant and too much lipid will jam at the exit. Under the action of bacteria, dust and oxidation, the originally white lipid will turn black and form blackheads.
This thing, mainly is a beautiful problem. If you think it is not a major event in what, you don’t need special treatment.
But if you find these small black spots annoying, you have to think of some ways to get rid of them. Dermatologist Li Zhiliang analyzed four unreliable schemes and gave an effective countermeasure.
The effect of these four methods is limited, but the damage is obvious.
There are many ways to remove blackheads, but the more ways to deal with them, sometimes it means-very few are really effective.
The four most common blackhead removal methods have limited effects and some can damage the skin.
Excessive Cleaning, Friction Friction
Some people think that blackheads are strengthened because they have not washed their faces clean.
This is true, but I am afraid that if I use too much force, it will backfire.
Rubbing hard with frosted facial cleanser, rough towel or some facial washing instruments will damage the cuticle of the skin and damage the skin barrier function.
The face is not porcelain, blackheads are not rubbed off, but the skin on the face is incomplete.
Nasal stick to face stick, raw pull hard pull
On the torn blackhead sticker, you can see many glued corner bolts, which is very intuitive and the effect seems to be immediate.
However, this effect is only temporary, and it is OK to save it urgently. In a few days, blackheads will reappear.
It is not recommended to always do this, otherwise pores will become bulky and blackheads will be more obvious and serious.
The needle picks the blackhead and presses it hard.
It is not advisable to pick blackheads with needles or squeeze blackheads with hands.
When handling by oneself, lax disinfection and inappropriate methods are likely to increase the risk of infection and leave scars.
Let’s stress one more thing here: no matter the blackheads or pimples in what, don’t squeeze! Inflammation, infection, scar … If you don’t pay attention to it, you will cause these consequences. Please control your hands.
Cleansing product to dissolve and remove blackheads
Medical research has confirmed that products containing salicylic acid have certain effect of dissolving blackheads.
In addition, the effect of removing blackheads and acne of most other skin care products currently lacks conclusive scientific basis.
Some products not only cannot remove blackheads, but also some ingredients in them can cause acne…
With these methods, blackheads poked there, stubbornly still there, really let a person helpless.
Is there nothing I can do about it?
Really want to remove stubborn blackheads, there is an effective countermeasure!
Recommend a [magic thing] to those who are troubled by blackheads:
Tretinoin cream
Retinoic acid drugs can be regarded as a milestone in the skin field and a discovery of an innovative era.
It can dissolve blackheads and acne, reduce oil secretion, fade pigmentation left by acne, reverse skin wrinkles, and has certain skin rejuvenation effect…
At present, medical research has confirmed that the way to effectively remove blackheads and acne is to use tretinoin products for external use, including tretinoin cream, adapalin, tazarotene, etc.
Among them, tretinoin cream has over-the-counter drugs. If there is a need to remove blackheads, you can buy 0.025% concentration smear.
Good medicine should also be used. Pay attention to 3 points to ensure safety.
When using tretinoin cream, the following 3 points must be paid attention to.
Start with dot painting and gradually transition
Retinoic acid has certain irritation, which can make skin redness, desquamation, tingling, itching and burning.
Therefore, when you start using it, you must start using it in a small area. You can stick a small amount of cream with toothpicks or cotton swabs and apply it on each small blackhead bit by bit.
If you feel irritant at the beginning of use, you can wash it off five minutes after the application, which can not only ensure the effect, but also avoid irritating symptoms. After the skin gradually adapts, then increase the smearing area.
If there are obvious irritation symptoms or no effect during use, please consult a doctor in the hospital in time.
Smear it before going to bed, and be careful to avoid light.
This drug is sensitive to light and is easy to decompose when it sees light, thus affecting the curative effect.
Therefore, it is recommended to apply tretinoin before going to bed after washing your face, and then turn off the lights to sleep.
Pregnancy, pregnancy preparation and lactation should be used with caution!
Tretinoin drugs are teratogenic and are not recommended during pregnancy, pregnancy preparation and lactation.
Although the effect of topical ointment is less than that of tretinoin taken orally, this point must also be emphasized!
The last thing that needs to be mentioned is that in order to use this medicine, one must not only master the above skills, but also have a calm patience.
Retinoic acid is used for more than 8 weeks before the effect is obvious, so it needs to be used persistently.
Don’t think this is a long time, think about the day when you first fought with blackheads, it must have been two months ago.
[Good meal is not afraid of late! ]
Be patient and use tretinoin properly. Next, wait quietly for the return of white and tender skin.
