How to treat pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads
Step one…do not pop! Popping acne, can result in spreading of the bacteria that caused the blemishes, which only leads to more acne.
Treating small acne can be done through the use of topicals that contain salicylic acid, which dries out the pimple and allows it to go away on its own in a few days.
Treating large pimples or acne may require a trip to the dermatologist to determine the cause of the pimples and acne. Your dermatologist may put you on medication to treat the skin condition or prescribe creams that can target the affected areas.
Treating blackheads and whiteheads often only requires the use of face washes that target such blemishes with specific ingredients that will allow the blemish to heal on its own.
You could see an esthetician who can remove the blemishes the proper way.
The difference between blackheads and whiteheads
Black heads: These blemishes appear as small black dots on your skin (often your nose) and are the result of an open comedone filling with sebum. Since the comedone is open, it is exposed to air, which results in a chemical reaction that turns the clogged pore black.
White heads: Very similar to blackheads. However, the comedones in whiteheads are not exposed to air, which means they do not undergo the chemical reaction blackheads do and they do not turn black in color. They remain the color of the comedone, which is often white.
How to prevent whiteheads and blackheads
Blackheads and whiteheads are often the result of an improper or inconsistent skin care routine. In order to prevent such acne, you’ll want to consult with a dermatologist or esthetician about what a proper skin care routine may look like for your skin type.
