Blind pimples: Why do you get acne under the skin?
A blind pimple doesn't appear on the surface on the skin. It's a bump, where the acne is formed under the skin. Such kind of a pimple is painful. The pain is caused due to the pressure the bump is causing under the skin. That's why the surface above the bump is sensitive and shouldn't be touched and pricked. You can easily feel the bump but can't see it!
Such acne happens due to the build-up of bacteria and sebum. If you have large pores and oily skin, blind pimples can happen easily and also when proper cleansing is not done. The bacteria gets trapped under the pore and forms deeper down in the skin.
If they remain under the skin, then the acne can take months to disappear. If they start to inflame, then it might appear on the surface of the skin and can disappear easily.
Picking and squeezing will only make this kind of acne worse, so no matter what, don't touch! A blind pimple needs to be calmed and they are actually just impossible to pop. Trying to squeeze will cause pain, increase inflammation and even lead to major scarring. The best way to treat them is to visit a dermatologist. You can also try the following things to treat it at home:
