Subcutaneous acne on the face
The formation of internal acne is a problem for both young people and adults. The main reason for their appearance is inflammation of the sebaceous duct under the top layer of skin. This condition of the epidermis “attracts” pathogenic bacteria, which begin to actively multiply. The keratinized skin cells clog the sebaceous duct, and the inflammation occurring inside it provokes the appearance of a red formation with pus that is hard to the touch. This is a subcutaneous pimple.
Factors that provoke the development of internal acne are:
- genetics;
- hormonal imbalance;
- improper skin care;
- excessive use of peeling;
- poor nutrition;
- dermatological diseases.
It is necessary to treat subcutaneous ulcers, since this is both an aesthetic problem and a place where microbes live, the activity of which can lead to more serious skin diseases.

Already in the morning you can detect positive changes - the inflammation will “dry out”, the redness will decrease.

Modern methods of disposal
Cosmetologists in beauty salons can offer the following procedures that will help remove subcutaneous pimples and remove pus from them:
Ozone therapy
A highly effective method of cleansing the face from boils. The method is based on the effect of an ozone mixture on the pores of the epidermis, which enhances metabolic processes and promotes the renewal of the cellular composition of the skin. As for the fight against subcutaneous pimple, the ozone-oxygen mixture promotes its accelerated maturation. The number of course procedures, as well as the volume of ozone mixture required to eliminate the problem, is determined individually by the specialist.
Electroscopic alignment method
The essence of the method is the effect of pulses of healing blue light and radio frequency energy on the inflammatory processes of the epidermis. The result is renewal of skin tissue, elimination of scars, red spots, scars, narrowing of enlarged pores. The procedure is absolutely painless; to achieve a positive effect, you will need to undergo a course of treatment (8-10 procedures).
Ichthyol ointment: application
If you decide to try the ointment, do it when you don't have to go anywhere. It is better to apply ichthyol ointment in the evening
.
This means:
apply the ointment
pointwise
to the pimple that you want to pull to the surface. Do not wash off the ichthyol ointment for an hour, but rather walk around with it for an hour and a half, two.
It may also be that the pus does not come out
, but will be on top under the film. What to do then? I did this: I took a needle, dipped it in, and carefully (!!!) pierced the pimple. You probably shouldn’t do this, but what if you need to go to work or study? Don’t go with a white purulent pimple on your face.
You can go in other ways, which I described in the topic “”. In general, manipulations with pulling out pus are best done on the weekend, so that nothing distracts you. Then you won’t have to press, you can again anoint the pimple with ichthyol ointment, and in the morning the pus will come out with a 99% probability.
If you have comedones, then also try to apply ichthyol ointment pointwise. No need to smear or rub all over your face. The exception is.
I can’t help but say about the negative aspects of using ichthyol ointment
. I read that this remedy, on the contrary, cannot treat post-acne, since ichthyol ointment gets very deep into the epidermis and tissue regeneration is worse. This opinion has a right to life, but not long ago I consulted with my cosmetologist on this issue, she said that these are all fairy tales or an individual reaction of the body, which happens to any product.
I can say one thing for sure: ichthyol ointment is excellent for targeted use. Whether to smear the area of the face where there is acne is up to you. Personally, I didn't notice any problems.
Preventive actions
Subcutaneous pimple is a rather unpleasant and painful problem. But in order not to encounter it, it is recommended to carefully monitor your lifestyle and also adhere to the following basics:
- If possible, try not to squeeze out pimples yourself, because... there is a risk of infection.
- Review your diet. It is important to exclude from the menu products that increase sebum secretion and, accordingly, become provocateurs for the appearance of subcutaneous acne. Junk food is all spicy and smoked foods, as well as fatty, salty and sweet foods.
- The skin must regularly receive a sufficient “portion” of oxygen, so it is important to walk a lot in the fresh air, and especially in places such as parks, pine forests, birch thickets, and forests.
The problem of treating subcutaneous acne should be approached with caution. Do not squeeze or pierce, as this can only aggravate the situation. Effective in fighting pimples in the early stages of their development. You can remove acne using folk recipes and medications. But if therapy at home does not give the desired result or the dermatological problem worsens, it is recommended to consult a doctor.
