How Can Painful And Itchy Blackheads On The Face Be Removed?
Overnight, after picking on face , blackheads and plucking any unwanted hair from my chin and eye brows, I now have these large red bumps on my chin. Maybe, 8 of them, when I tried to mash them only a clear liquid came out and it was very psinful. My whole chin has an itchy, burning and an awful stinging sensation like tiny needles all over the chin but the pain is so intense when I try to lay a cold cloth on it to release the stinging burning that I am about to go crazy! Please help me and tell me what I can do to get some peace. And diagnose what I m experencing along with a treatent plan. Thank you

Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of painful and itchy blackheads on the face which occurs at a particular age due to hormonal changes and could be due to clogging of skin pores by dead bacteria and dust.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to wash your face with face wash containing benzoyl peroxide then apply cream containing azelaic acid which is safe and very effective. Exfoliate your skin with the non-comedogenic exfoliating agent once a week to remove dead skin. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables also drink plenty of water. If the condition doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. Doctor may prescribe tretinoin ointment and antibiotic like clindamycin. For inflammatory acne you should start with one of the oral antibiotics like Azithromycin or Minocycline.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
