My cleanliness is second to none so this bothers me what is it & what do I do...please help

Hi,

From your description, it seems to be blackheads only. Our face is having a highly vascular skin, so even minor trauma can cause significant bleeding. Above that, forceful removal may cause scar/discolouration there on healing.

Now clean the area 3 times a day with soap and water, and apply antibiotic creams like fusidic acid or mupirocin for 5 days, to get it healed. Cleansing face with soap / face lotions 3-4 times a day can help reduce blackheads by avoiding clogging of hair follicles. Resistant cases may need anti acne creams to be applied.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
