They annoy and sit deep under the skin: Underground pimples on forehead, nose or chin. What you can do about the nasty blemishes on your face – the best tips and tricks.

Pimples on the face can drive us crazy, no question. And most of the time, skin blemishes pop up when we least need them: just before a date, a party or an important date. Especially bad are underground pimples. What you can do against the nasty bumps under the skin, we tell you here.

Underground Pimples: What is it?

Are you standing in front of the mirror and can feel with your fingers a little bump under the skin, which hurts, gets hot and can possibly be pushed back and forth? Congratulations! Then you may be happy about a special form of the common pimple: The underground pimple! Underground pimples can occur in various parts of the body, usually in the face on the forehead, chin, nose, cheek or lip, and become visible as a red, purulent pimple.

Underground pimples: causes

The causes of subterranean pimples are similar to “normal” pimples in the face, an overproduction of sebum and dead skin cells . Both can cause the pores to clog . If bacteria are added, the pores can ignite and pimples can form . Compared to common skin impurities, subterranean pimples form in deeper layers of the skin and become visible through a point filled with pus in the form of a red-yellow point.

Underground Pimples: That’s why you should never express them!

Sure, such a bright red and filled with pus pimple seduced to squeeze. But please keep your hands off the inflammation! Those who want to express pimples themselves only risk spreading the bacteria and making the pimple even bigger and more painful. Incidentally, this video illustrates how dangerous pimples can be.

It can be particularly dangerous if you want to pierce the underground pimple with a needle. There is a risk of bacteria entering the bloodstream or in the direction of the facial nerves and in the worst case can lead to blood poisoning or meningitis.

Underground pimples: That helps

From chamomile to tea tree oil: We have the best tips on how to get rid of the pimples very quickly.

1. Steam bath

A steam bath with chamomile can do wonders and subside the underground pimple. Through the hot steam you can open the pores , the sebum can drain better and chamomile has anti-inflammatory.

Here’s how it works: Boil a handful of dried chamomile flowers in a saucepan with two liters of water. Then place your face over the steaming water and a towel over your head so that the steam can not escape.

2. Tea tree oil

Tea tree oil is a true all-rounder in the fight against underground pimples. It has an antimicrobial effect and prevents the spread of bacteria . By the way: Also try it with zinc – that also helps against acne !

This is how it works: Pick up a few drops of tea tree oil with a cotton swab and apply to the pimple. Twice daily in the morning and in the evening. Important: It is important to clean the face thoroughly from dirt and make-up before doing so. 

3. Train ointment

Train ointment ensures that the pus comes faster to the skin surface . This makes the pimple quickly visible and can heal better.

Here’s how it works: Only apply the ointment to the subterranean pimple and not the healthy areas of the skin.

4. Heat

Heat also helps to open the pores and bring the underground pimple to the surface.

Here’s how it works: Soak a washcloth in warm water and put on the inflammation for a few minutes.

5. Red light

Red light not only helps with muscle problems, but also with subterranean pimples. The heat penetrates into the deeper skin layers and stimulates the blood circulation . So the sebum becomes more fluid and the inflammation can heal better. In addition, clogged pores are prevented.

Here’s how it works: place  your face in front of the red light bulb for a few minutes. Not too tight! Prefer to keep a distance.
