How to differentiate between acne and blackheads?

Acne and blackheads have always been a thorn in the minds of many people. Some people don’t even know the difference between acne and blackheads, and like to pick and squeeze blackheads with their hands. This is a very wrong practice, which can easily lead to skin damage, enlarged pores, and threaten people’s beauty. Next, I will tell you how to distinguish between acne and blackheads. Please see the following information.

Pimples and acne

, commonly known as acne, is the most common inflammation of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands during adolescence. It usually heals or improves automatically after adolescence. In real life, many people have small bumps on their faces that look very similar to acne, making it difficult to distinguish them. In fact, these false "pimples" are manifestations of certain skin diseases.

Occupational acne:

It is closely related to the occupation and working environment. For example, long-term contact with gasoline, diesel, various lubricants, paraffin, chlorine-containing compounds, etc. can easily cause occupational acne. The distribution of the rash is characteristic, and the typical location is near the eyes.

The root cause is endocrine disorders and excessive secretion of male hormones. Pay attention to your diet, eat less fat and sweets, eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid using oily cosmetics, and avoid squeezing the affected area with your hands. Pimples and pimples are collectively called acne. It is one of the most common diseases in dermatology, often occurring in adolescence. It is also called acne, pimples or blackheads, and folliculitis. First of all, the causes of the disease are different: acne is caused by endocrine disorders or poor oil secretion; blackheads are mainly related to incomplete cleaning, genetics, staying up late, alternating hot and cold weather, and the use of contraceptives. The symptoms are different: acne mainly manifests as whiteheads and blackheads; acne mainly manifests as red and swollen type, cystic type and clustered type of acne.

The above is how to distinguish between acne and blackheads. Pay more attention to facial hygiene and don’t let your face be too greasy, because oiliness is the breeding ground for acne and blackheads. Don’t use too irritating cosmetics or skin care products, as they will make acne grow faster.
