A blind pimple is characterized by the absence of the ‘head’ of the pimple. The same factors that influence the occurrence of the common pimple lead to the formation of a blind pimple. An oily substance called sebum, naturally produced by our skin, combines with dirt and sweat to clog the pores of the skin. This results in the formation of pimples or acne. In the case of the common pimple, clogged pores lead to the formation of a pustule, a visible and sometimes infected swelling of the skin with a crusty top. The blind pimple, however, has no visible head and results in the formation of a papule rather than a pustule. This means that the infection runs so deep into the skin that no visible ‘head’ is formed on the surface of the skin. Though they are different in appearance, a blind pimple should be treated with as much precaution as the common pimple. For instance, it is a misconception that just because the blind pimple does not have a head, it will not leave a scar if it is squeezed. If squeezed or scratched, blind pimples also lead to the formation of deep scars on the skin that can be very difficult to treat. Therefore, it is absolutely essential that you keep your fingernails clipped short and refrain from touching your blind pimples. This will not only help prevent scarring but will protect your blind pimples from becoming infected or spreading.
Treatments For Blind Pimples
One of the most effective treatments for a blind pimple is a thorough cleansing of your pores. You can clean your pores using salicylic acid or a cleanser that has salicylic acid as an active ingredient. This will help cleanse your pores effectively and will help sebum move to the surface of your skin with ease, without clogging its pores. A hot compress is another effective remedy for blind pimples. Soak a ball of cotton or a thin cotton cloth in hot water and place it over your blind pimple for a few minutes. Press on the pimple gently and repeat this a few times everyday. This will help treat blind pimples effectively. Similarly, powdered orange peel is very effective in the treatment of blind pimples. Make a paste using orange peel powder and water. Apply this paste on your pimple at least twice a day for immediate relief. Applying the juice of a fresh lemon on your blind pimples is another effective way of treating them
