2. Tiny Facial Bumps: Blackheads
What does it look like?
As the name suggests, when the skin pores get clogged with oil and dirt, the skin head appears black or like a dark spot. These are very common type of acnes that usually appear on cheeks, nose and chin. Though it isn’t very common other parts of your body, these can also appear on thighs, ears and armpits.
Why it’s happening?
It usually occurs when sebaceous glands or hair follicles become inflamed and open up when it gets overly clogged with oil and dirt. The most common causes of getting blackheads is if you have oily skin which leads to over secretion of sebum on your skin, increased androgenous hormones, unclean with increased presence of bacteria on your skin.
How to deal with these black tiny facial bumps?
You shouldn’t remove the blackhead entirely because then it pushes the blackhead further into your skin, and can cause further breakout of blackheads. It’s better to not squeeze or pop out these kinds of tiny facial bumps in that case.
What you can do instead to get rid of your blackheads is that you can apply Tea tree oil that can prevent growth of bacteria, which in turn prevents blackheads from appearing on your face.
