Scars Can Be Left If Pimples Around the Nose and Mouth Are Popped Incorrectly

Pimples that appear around the nose and mouth usually occur in areas with well-developed sebaceous glands, and if they are popped incorrectly or touched with your hands, this is an area where scars or hyperpigmentation can easily remain. Because sebum is actively produced in this area and the pores are large, waste and dead skin cells build up easily, leading to acne. In particular, factors such as mask wearing, an unbalanced diet, stress, hormonal changes, insufficient cleansing, or excessive cleansing can combine to worsen it into inflammatory acne or closed comedones. Today, I’ll explain the characteristics of acne and the treatment methods that go along with them!

Why Do Pimples Around the Nose and Mouth Appear?

Our nose area has wide pores and is a place where blackheads often form, so sebum and waste build up easily. The area around the mouth, on the other hand, is sensitive to hormonal changes, so pimples often appear there. These pimples may subside on their own over time, but if you squeeze or touch them, damage to the skin tissue can occur and scars may remain, so caution is needed. In particular, forcefully extracting them when the inflammation is severe can easily lead to hyperpigmentation or pitted scars, and there is also a risk that the condition may spread into a larger inflammation due to bacterial infection.

What Are the Treatment Methods for Pimples Around the Nose and Mouth?

Such pimples require proper treatment and care. One of these is 1️⃣Gold PTT, a procedure that helps regulate sebaceous glands. After applying gold microparticles to the skin, a special laser is used to selectively destroy the sebaceous glands, which can reduce sebum production. It is especially effective in areas with high sebum production, such as around the nose and mouth, and may help prevent acne recurrence and relieve inflammation.

Next, 2️⃣scaling can be considered a basic treatment that removes dead skin cells and waste from inside the pores. Peeling ingredients open the pores and help waste inside the follicles be discharged more easily. When performed regularly, it can help prevent clogged pores and reduce the frequency of acne. It also smooths skin texture and helps control sebum production, which aids in improving acne.

Lastly, 3️⃣Aqua Peel is a procedure that helps with exfoliation and pore cleansing while also supplying moisture. It has the advantage of causing little irritation even on sensitive skin, so it can be applied to delicate areas such as around the mouth. It also has a calming effect and may help ease inflammation.

Acne is often thought of as a simple skin issue, but if scars are left due to improper care, it can become a long-term skin concern. Therefore, it is important to receive appropriate treatment early and improve your skin condition through consistent care, and the habit of squeezing pimples yourself must be avoided. Acne can improve sufficiently through procedures and lifestyle changes suited to your skin condition alone :)
