Natural Treatment for Blackhead Removal
Blackheads are basically the same thing as pimples due to acne vulgaris, the extremely common skin condition that results in lesions all over the face, sometimes even extending to the neck, chest, and back. Like pimples, blackheads form when a skin bore is blocked by dead skin cells, leading to a build up of sebum from the sebaceous gland under the cell. With blackheads, there is no infection, but the sebum begins to oxidize, leading to the dark color.
Firstly, instead of using steam, you should try some milder home remedies. Apply milk with some grated nutmeg in it to the blackheads, and wash it off after a while. You can also use a mixture of one teaspoon honey and the white of an egg — apply the mixture all over your face, leave it for half an hour, and then wash it off gently with plain water. You can also take a clove of garlic, crush it a bit, and gently rub the crushed clove on the blackheads.
If these remedies do not work and if the blackheads continue to be painful, you should visit a dermatologist or at least your family doctor, as they may be an indication of something more serious.
