What exactly are the white particles protruding from the chin?

Can it be deducted?

Friends who clicked in, before reading this article, you can sip your lips and touch your chin to see if there are any raised white particles on your chin in the camera?

Have you ever wondered what they are? Is it closed acne? Large pores? still is……

Some time ago, I posted a video on station B with white particles protruding from the chin. Many friends said that there are.When I was young and ignorant, I scraped it with a knife and squeezed out the blood... After watching the video, the "unsolved mystery" that had plagued my friends for many years was finally solved.

Therefore, I specially organized this rich text version to let more friends know the truth and handle it scientifically and correctly~

Raised small white particles on the chin may enlarge and elevate the pilosebaceous glands, closed comedones, post-acne papular scars, and milia. How to lighten and smooth these bumps? Just look down to know~

Enlarged and raised hair follicles and sebaceous glands

As shown in the picture below, the small white granules on the chin may enlarge and bulge the hair follicles and sebaceous glands, and the filaments that extrude from them are called lipid filaments (sebum filaments). This is a normal physiological phenomenon, and many people have it.

There is currently no good solution. You can try topical vitamin A acid cream, adapalene gel, or skin care products such as salicylic acid and fruit acid, which may help, but the effect is relatively limited.

But really, you don't have to worry too much. Normal social distance cannot see these small particles, and girls basically cannot see them after makeup.

Casual squeezing is not recommended as it may lead to dilation of the hair follicle pores and inflammation around the hair follicle and sebaceous glands.

Closed acne

● What is it?

Small white particles on the chin can sometimes be closed comedones. Comedones can be divided into comedones, papules and pustules, and comedones are further divided into whiteheads (closed comedones) and blackheads (open comedones).

Closed-mouth acne is what we often call closed-mouth acne, which is a type of mild acne.

● Why does it appear?

The causes of closed acne are the same as acne. There are four main reasons:

① Too much oil (excessive sebum secretion)

② Blockage (clogging of sebaceous glands and hair follicles)

③ Bacteria (Proliferation of Propionibacterium acnes)

④ Inflammation (secondary inflammation)

In addition, the closed mouth does not necessarily appear because the cleaning is not in place, but it may also appear because the cleaning is "too in place".

● How to improve?

If not treated and cared for carefully, it can lead to acne breakouts. Acne can further transform into inflammatory papules, which can aggravate the formation of nodules and cysts. Prompt and standardized treatment is important, as later nodules and cysts are prone to scarring.

Treatment for closed-mouth acne is the same as for acne. Drugs can generally use adapalene gel, vitamin A acid cream or tazarotene cream. Use a moisturizing cream every day before medication.

For those with sensitive skin, mild acne, who cannot tolerate retinoids. Products such as azelaic acid cream, salicylic acid, and mandelic acid can be used. However, the treatment cycle is long, and it is necessary to pay attention to irritation. Of these, azelaic acid cream can also be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Daily skin care can choose refreshing skin care products. Try not to wear makeup or try to lighten your makeup. Pay attention to your diet and properly control high sugar and dairy products. And stop using masks.

Post-acne papular scars

● What is it?

Post-acne scars can be divided into atrophic scars (dimples) and hypertrophic scars (raised).

Atrophic scars can be divided into three types: ice-pick, roller, and box-car, while post-acne papular scars are hypertrophic scars that often appear on the chin, nose, and back.

● Why does it appear?

Post-acne papular scars have the same causes as hypertrophic scars. More common in acne with severe inflammation, or acne that is not handled properly.

Hypertrophic scars belong to the body's excessive tissue response to dermal damage, that is, acne skin damage regresses and the repair process is too violent to stop, and local fibroblasts and collagen are overproduced, leading to the appearance of new scars.

● How to improve?

ended not to hold out hope. Medical cosmetology is the most effective treatment method at present. Although it cannot achieve 100% healing effect, it can restore beauty to the maximum extent.

Combination therapy is usually more effective than monotherapy. Here are some common treatments:

◆ Laser treatment: such as carbon dioxide laser, Er:YAG laser, pulsed dye laser, Nd:YAG laser, the treatment effect is remarkable.
