Blocked pores, a seemingly minor skin problem, can escalate into bothersome inflammatory acne if left untreated. Extracting blocked pores is one option to help reduce pore blockage and restore smooth skin. However, extraction isn't just about squeezing; it requires the correct technique and proper aftercare to minimize scarring. This article will delve into everything about blocked pore extraction and recommend acne treatment programs for long-term healthy skin.

What are clogged pores/acne?

Comedones are non-inflammatory acne lesions that appear as small raised bumps on the skin. They are caused by the blockage of excess sebum, dead skin cells, and dirt within pores. They are commonly found in areas with many sebaceous glands, such as the forehead, nose, chin, and cheeks. If not properly treated, they can develop into inflammatory acne.

Clogged pores can be caused by a combination of factors, including hormones, improper skincare, and daily habits. Common factors include:

Excessive oil production on the skin.
Clogged pores due to the accumulation of dead skin cells.
Changes in hormone levels, especially during adolescence or the period before menstruation.
Using cosmetics or skincare products that are unsuitable for your skin type.
Incomplete skin cleansing
External factors such as dust, pollution, and dirt residue on the skin.
Stress and insufficient rest.

What is the difference between closed and open comedones?

Clogged pores can be divided into two main types: closed comedones and open comedones, which have different characteristics as follows:

Closed comedones Or whiteheads, which are caused by blockages inside the pores, appearing as small bumps under the skin. They are tiny, skin-colored nodules with no clearly visible opening, and often feel uneven to the touch.
Open comedones Blackheads, or whiteheads, are caused by open pores, allowing sebum and dead skin cells to come into contact with air, resulting in a black discoloration at the head of the pimple. They are commonly found on the nose and chin.

Behaviors that increase clogged pores and acne.

Certain daily habits may trigger clogged pores or recurring acne in the same spot more often, such as:

Washing your face too hard or too often.
I went to bed without washing off my makeup.
Using products that easily clog pores.
I often touch or pick at my pimples.
Do not change pillowcases and handkerchiefs.
Consuming large amounts of sugary or fatty foods.

Which types of clogged pores should be squeezed?

Whether or not to squeeze clogged pores should be considered based on the type of acne and the individual's skin condition, as not all types of acne are suitable for squeezing. Types of clogged pores that are suitable for squeezing include:

Open comedones or blackheads
Closed comedones with shallow heads
Small pimples that accumulate on the forehead, nose, or chin.
Acne that is not red, swollen, or painful.

Properly extracting clogged pores can help reduce the accumulation of blockages in the pores and result in smoother-looking skin.

Pimples that should not be squeezed.

Some types of acne are not suitable for squeezing because it may cause further inflammation, swelling, bruising, or infection, and increase the risk of acne scarring and blemishes. For example:

Red inflamed acne
Cystic acne
pustules
Acne without a clearly visible head
Deep acne under the skin
Pimples that are very painful when pressed.

The risks of improperly squeezing clogged pores.

Inflammatory acne has increased.
