YOGYAKARTA Almost everyone once had a comodo. Comedos generally grow in the face T zone area. When a commodity grows in groups, it wants its taste to squeeze its contents out and treat it after that. But it's important that you know, do you need the comodo to be suppressed? It turns out that certified experts and dermatologists recommend a much different step.

Comedo is a hair pore or follicle that is clogged with sebum, dead skin, and bacteria, explains board-certified dermatologist Melanie Palm, MD. When exposed to air, there is oxidation of oil trapped by dead skin cells and makes porous porous dark brown or black. This is very different from other types of acne, such as white comodos or closed comodos and critical acne.

"I don't recommend extracting or squeezing a commodity, although it might be tempting," advises board-certified dermatologist Dustin Portela as reported by Byrdie, Friday, September 29.

Memencet komedo actually worsens conditions including causingskir, scar tissue, and further irritation. So most precisely, meet experienced professionals who are trained in correctly extracting comodo. If you really can't hold back the desire to squeeze the comodo, Portela recommends using a clean finger wrapped in tissue to carry out extraction at home. This method is better than using extractors or other tools, which can stab and injure the skin.

While the easiest way to prevent comodo, is to maintain skin hygiene. Portela recommends washing your face twice a day or after excessive sweating. This will prevent dead skin oil and cells from piling up in the hair follicles. Facial washing soap can use a regular or contains skin peeling. Such as containing salicylic acid.

Regular exofliation of two to three times a week also needs to be done. Such as wearing skincare with retinoidal ingredients and glycolate acid. This product, according to a dermatologist, works more gently than physical exfolian such as scrubs.

While comodos can be frustrating and make sense to squeeze them, you have to hand them over to the anti-comedo manually to professionals, as trying to squeeze your own comodo can cause further damage to your skin. You can also include exfoliated products with retinoids or salicylic acid into skin care routines.
