Pain

Subcutaneous blackheads, as the name implies, are located beneath the outer layer of the epidermis. They appear as bulges that can vary in shape and often differ in color. Most often, they have a reddish hue or a red border. Unfortunately, all of them hurt, although the pain level may vary.

The surface of subcutaneous blackheads is covered with skin, so it is significant to use appropriate dermocosmetics for cleaning procedures. These pimples can occur as individuals or in larger clusters, typically scattered across the face. They usually present as cysts or hard nodules. Because cysts are located more shallowly than nodules, they can be swollen with pus, which is visible under the skin and significantly affects the look of the skin.

It is forbidden to squeeze this type of subcutaneous blackheads because poorly performed cleaning procedures result in discoloration and unsightly dark scars.
