Eating this food can help get rid of whiteheads.

Many people are concerned about small, bumpy pimples on their skin. How can they be managed?

 

◇Prevent dirt from accumulating in pores

 

Whiteheads are caused by a buildup of sebum, cell debris, and keratin produced by cells in clogged pores. To alleviate whiteheads, you should limit your intake of foods that increase sebum production. First, avoid overly spicy foods. Spicy foods raise body temperature, leading to increased sweating and sebum production. As blood vessels dilate to dissipate heat, substances that cause inflammation are released into the skin. This can lead to facial flushing and worsening acne.

Sweet foods are not good either This is because high blood sugar induces 'IGF-1', a sebum-producing factor. According to a study at Seoul National University Hospital, people without acne consumed a lot of low-glycemic index foods such as green and yellow vegetables and beans, while patients treated for acne consumed more and more refined carbohydrates with high glycemic index due to simple sugars such as hamburgers, donuts, and ramen. Oily foods such as pork belly and chicken are also bad because they increase sebum secretion.

 

◇Eat foods rich in vitamin C

 

To alleviate whiteheads, avoid sweet and fatty foods and instead eat a diet rich in fiber-rich vegetables and fruits. Fruits are rich in antioxidants like vitamin C, which reduce sebum gland activity and suppress sebum production. Irregular meals and late-night snacks can also trigger acne, so it's best to eat meals at regular times.

 

Additionally, movement promotes the secretion of anti-inflammatory substances and improves blood circulation, which helps alleviate acne. Try to exercise for at least 20 to 30 minutes a day. However, be careful, as excessive exercise can have negative effects on your skin.

 

 

◇Wash your face with cold water after extruding

 

Meanwhile, to remove whiteheads, open the pores with a fine needle and press the area with a cotton swab or gauze to remove them from the roots.

 

When squeezing, avoid forcing sebum out. Excessive force can damage skin cells and leave marks or scars. After squeezing a whitehead, you need to tighten the enlarged pores. If pores aren't tightened, sebum, dirt, and other impurities can build up again, leading to reoccurrence. After extraction, it is recommended to wash your face with cold water to reduce pores and apply acne medication or ointment to the extracted area.

 

If you choose to perform extraction at home, be sure to thoroughly disinfect the area to be extracted and the extraction tool after washing your face. Failure to properly disinfect can lead to bacterial infection and inflammation. If thorough disinfection and care are difficult, seeking extraction at a dermatologist is an option.
