Customer question:
How do you remove a subcutaneous pimple on the face? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Removal of a subcutaneous pimple on the face can be delicate; avoiding aggressive approaches such as squeezing or piercing can lead to scarring, inflammation, and worsening of the problem.
Instead, consider a few less invasive steps:
- Warm compress: apply a warm compress to the affected area. Warm water helps to open the pores, reduce inflammation, and facilitate the discharge of pus. You can apply a warm towel to your face for about 15 minutes daily.
- Cleansing with salicylic acid: use a mild facial cleanser that contains salicylic acid. This ingredient helps remove dead skin cells and open pores.
- Using cold packs: cold packs can help reduce swelling and inflammation. Place ice wrapped in a thin towel on the affected area for a few minutes.
- Using Benzoin Peroxide Products: Benzoin peroxide is another effective acne treatment ingredient. Products containing benzoin peroxide are available in gels, creams, or ointments.
- Avoid popping: Popping a subcutaneous pimple is not recommended as it can cause skin damage, infection, and scarring.
- Moisturize your skin: use a light, oil-free moisturizer to hydrate your skin.
- Consultation with a specialist: if the problem does not improve or even worsens, consult a specialist in skin diseases (dermatologist) who can advise you on further treatment.
