SAEDNEWS: Under-skin pimples can be easily treated at home, especially when they are mild, as they may disappear on their own. However, some home remedies can speed up their healing process. Before presenting treatment methods, it's important to note that you should never squeeze under-skin pimples.
According to SAEDNEWS, No matter what type of pimple it is, it is unpleasant and annoying, but under-skin pimples might be worse than others. Sometimes these pimples are extremely painful, and no matter what you do, you can't get rid of them. Worse yet, the more you try to manipulate them, the more inflammation and pain they cause.
But how do we treat these pimples? Certainly, we can't get rid of them overnight. Treating under-skin pimples requires patience. So, before doing anything, read this article to explore the most effective and best methods for getting rid of under-skin pimples.
Some of the main factors that cause under-skin pimples include:
Buildup of dead skin cells on the surface, which leads to clogged pores.
External and environmental pollutants found in cities or certain work environments.
Hormonal imbalances, especially in women, which are more common during menstruation or pregnancy.
Genetic factors.
Irregular menstrual cycles.
Excessive use of cosmetics or the use of low-quality products.
Consuming too many greasy foods and fast foods.
Lifestyle changes and increased stress.
Neglecting personal hygiene, especially during hot seasons.
Under-skin pimples can be easily treated at home, especially when they are mild, as they may disappear on their own. However, some home remedies can help speed up their healing process. Before discussing treatment methods, it’s important to note that you should never squeeze under-skin pimples. These pimples are usually not close to the skin's surface, so you can’t treat them like whitehead pimples and squeeze them out. Popping these pimples leaves a permanent mark, making them more visible, painful, and sometimes even causing infection. Additionally, squeezing under-skin pimples can push their contents—which consist of oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria—deeper into the skin, increasing inflammation. With home remedies and a bit of patience, you can get rid of these under-skin pimples.
A warm compress can be effective in treating under-skin pimples. The heat opens the pores, bringing the pimple closer to the surface and helping to reveal its head. Once the pimple's head appears, oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria are released from within, causing the pimple to heal. Additionally, the warmth from the compress can help reduce the pain.
To use a warm compress, first, take a clean bath towel or washcloth and soak it in hot water, but not too hot to touch. Then, place the compress on the under-skin pimple for 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat this 3 to 4 times a day until the pimple rises to the surface, its head opens, and the pus is expelled. Keep the area around the pimple clean, avoid touching it, and refrain from using makeup until the pimple has fully healed.
Pimple patches are small adhesive patches that are placed over under-skin pimples. These patches usually contain a treatment ingredient, such as salicylic acid, which helps treat the pimples. The patches draw out excess oil and sebum from the pimple and reduce swelling. As a result, they can significantly reduce the size and appearance of the pimple.
Pimple patches can be purchased at pharmacies and are small enough that they rarely attract attention. They can be worn overnight or throughout the day. The duration of use may vary from person to person, but typically, they should be changed every 24 hours.
Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties and can help eliminate the bacteria involved in the formation of under-skin pimples. Researchers in two clinical trials found that a gel containing 5% tea tree oil is effective in treating mild to moderate under-skin pimples. In another study, it was shown that applying tea tree oil twice daily for 12 weeks significantly improved mild to moderate pimples.
Tea tree oil can be purchased at herbal stores or pharmacies. To use it, you must first dilute it. To do this, mix one part tea tree oil with one part carrier oil. Popular carrier oils include coconut oil, jojoba oil, and olive oil. Once the oil mixture is prepared, apply it to the pimples and leave it overnight on your skin. Wash your face the next morning. Topical use of tea tree oil is safe, but it should not be consumed orally, as it can harm the body.
Many people use this oil and find it beneficial, but the American Academy of Dermatology states that there is still limited evidence to recommend tea tree oil as a treatment for pimples.
