You can't actually "clean" under skin pimples, as they're located deep within the skin. However, you can take steps to treat them and reduce inflammation.
Here are some ways to address under-the-skin pimples:
- Warm compresses: Applying a warm compress for 10-15 minutes several times a day can help soften the skin and bring the pimple closer to the surface.
- Topical acne treatments: Over-the-counter medications containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid can help kill bacteria and reduce inflammation.
- Prescription medications: If over-the-counter treatments aren't effective, your doctor may prescribe stronger topical medications or oral antibiotics.
- Avoid squeezing: Squeezing or picking at pimples can worsen inflammation and increase the risk of scarring.
Remember: It's important to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment options.
