Dermatologists Use This 1 Trick To Help Figure Out What's Causing Your Acne
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING Whether you have one pimple or a bunch, it’s never a sight you want to see. “Watch out for things that can clog pores, such as headbands, hats, helmets and even hair products.” When hair products clog pores, the acne you’ll see is typically a small bump, either a whitehead or blackhead, according to Dr. Ruth McTighe, a board-certified dermatologist at Waccamaw Dermatology in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. “There’s also pomade acne, which is due to the use of heavy oils, waxes and comedogenic makeup on or around the face,” Henry said. “This condition can be triggered by topical or inhaled corticosteroids, intolerance to certain cosmetic products or medications, and other factors.” Mouth acne lasts around a few weeks, but can persist if you don’t address that trigger, Kapoor said. “If the acne is more inflammatory, you may want to use benzoyl peroxide, topical antibiotics or sulfur washes — products that are more anti-inflammatory and antibacterial.” Comedones typically look like small, rough bumps that are either flesh-colored, white or dark.
