Pimples Under The Skin

Ah pimples under the skin, they are annoying aren't they? They hide just under your upper skin surface to taunt you. You can't get to them easily where they are located. So what are ways to get rid of these unwanted guests? You can try the following method : Use warm water to open up your pores, then use a good non aggressive scrub to softly remove the upper skin cells - with some luck those pimples under the skin will be taken away by the scrub particles. Remember to rub your skin gently while playing around with the scrub, because if you do this too aggressively it can damage your skin and cause redness. Do note that redness will probably appear any way since you are stimulating the skin, but it should fade rather quickly.

The method above only works for relatively small pimples under the skin. If you have pimples that are big, or cysts - then we strongly recommend you do not try to pop them or push them

To prevent these particular pimples it is important to keep your skin clean. A good skincare regime will do your skin good. The most important ingredient of that skincare regime is an antibacterial face wash. They will properly clean the skin and kill off most bacteria roaming around on the top layer of your skin. Some have better penetrative properties than others, so make sure you look at various reviews on the web, or even better - ask a dermatologist.

Another method is quite gentle. Grab a wash cloth, soak it in warm water and put it on the area of your skin that is affected by pimples. The warm water will slowly start pulling out pus (the bad stuff you want to get rid of). Application time may vary, but 5 minutes should do the job. After that wash your skin with warm water again (to remove any dirt) and then end with cold water (which closes the pores).

This will only cause the infected area to grow because bacteria can spread due to the force applied on it. If you have aggressive larger pimples that just won't go away, then you are better off buying professional products with ingredients that slowly work to disintegrate the pimple(s), and uses your body's natural healing abilities for the healing process.

Also, usually the small white pimples under the skin shouldn't hurt when you touch them. If they do hurt it is recommend you do not touch them too much.

If the pimples eventually do develop into more superficial pimples with a yellow head it may be save to pop them if you disinfect the area properly (not doing so will cause the infection to spread, rapidly). Trying to pop pimples that do not have yellow heads will only push the root further into your skin - they aren't ready yet.
