Treating comedone

Comedone is caused by clogging of pores. When the upper skin cells or the scurf layer are shed slowly or abnormally. The oil produced by the sebaceous glands around the hair follicle cannot flow outside, becoming solidify or also known as “comedone”, which if viewed with the naked eye, it can be seen in 2 characteristics, blackhead (open clogged acne) and whitehead (close clogged acne or comedone without a head) Blackhead may look like a comedone that is usually noticeable around the nose that has fat, dead skin cells and clogged hair, that can be seen as small black lines. Sometimes, comedone can be confused with Mallorca acne that look like small granules that often appear in the same area like forehead, which can be separated easily. Mallorca acne tends to increase a lot in the afternoon and evening, and will disappear when you wake up in the morning, because Mallorca acne is often associated with pollution allergies, dust in the air and the external environment. This is different from comedones that are always present, not related to the time of day.

Comedones can occur anywhere that has pores on the face, such as the forehead, nose, cheeks, chin, and around the face. The way to solve or treat comedone can be done by avoiding causes and factors that stimulate clogging of the skin, such as cleaning and nourishing the skin incorrectly, removing acne, eating starchy and sugary foods or cow’s milk products, and misuse of drugs such as steroids, etc. In real life, we may not be able to prevent and avoid these problems, we should start treating comedones by ourselves by taking care of our skin so that the skin cell renewal process can occur normally and reduce the production of subcutaneous fat, so that skin doesn’t get clogged and can reduce the number of comedone.
