So a while back i got a few tiny blackheads on my chin, all together in a small cluster. One of them got inflammed so i was naughty and squeezed the crap out of it. Eventually i managed to get the 'puss' all out. This was about a week ago, i noticed some tingling in the area yesterday, and when i washed my face it hurt to press in that area. I noticed after the area was purple/red, its NOT a lump though. What is this, the start of a cystic pimple, thats just happened to come up in the same place or has the area somehow got infected?? Help!

So, i normally get rid of my blackheads and comedones using my own special method (posted here somewhere). I was wondering though, what happens if you just leave them? Do they actually go away by themselves, or do they have to be extracted to go away?

This made me do a big laugh...

I had lots of tiny comedones, normally i would pick and squeeze these (using tissue paper around fingers) and with a lot of pressure, eventually release a tiny 'worm'. However, due to the picking, the area would almost always be left very inflammed and scab over, eventually falling off and leaving a redmark. I tried leaving them alone, but they just looked awful, and very noticable. I tried using a blackhead/comedone extractor and that didnt work, i also tried applying topicals and that didnt do anything either. One day when i was using a cotton bud to apply a topical to them i thought hmm.... and that was how the following method was formed:

1) Wash face to remove any oil, makeup etc

2) Wet a cotton ball with hot water and place over the area affected by comedones, hold for 5 mins.

3) Using two cotton buds squeeze the comedone, if done correctly a 'worm' should come out. Squeeze enough to make sure the 'worm' is all the way out, but not so much that any blood appears.

4) Apply 100% tea tree oil to the area using a cotton ball.

I used this method twice about a month ago (forehead, chin) and all my comedones are gone (i had loads). The first night i removed all the ones on my forehead, and the second night i perfected the method on my chin. For a few days after doing this, the area where the comedones were looked a bit crap, ie swollen and red. I just hid away for a day or two, or you could apply make up to cover it. Once the swelling and redness goes down the skin will be lovely and smooth (providing you got all the 'worm' out and kept the cleared pore free of infection. Best of all, no scabs or redmarks!
I used 100% tea tree oil to make sure the newly cleared pores didnt become infected. I am aware that everywhere it says to never apply 100% tea tree oil to the face, but i did and it was fine. Id your skins sensitive i suggest diluting the tea tree oil, or using a different type of antiseptic. Please note, i only use the tea tree oil once, after the comedones are cleared. It doesnt need to be applied again after this.
Anyway, i thought id share my experience.
