Can closed comedones be squeezed?

After you get closed comedones, it is best not to squeeze them with your hands, pick them with an acne needle, or scratch the affected area with your hands. If you squeeze, pick or scratch closed comedones, it may cause infection and cause the closed comedones to grow more and more. The yellow hard particles of keratinized mature closed comedones may be squeezed out with light pressure, but this is only the case occasionally. Most closed comedones are small white and will turn into large, red, swollen and shiny pimples if squeezed!

How to squeeze closed comedones correctly

If you really can't help squeezing, be sure to use the correct method. After cleaning the skin, use two clean cotton swabs to press hard on both sides of the acne until the linear secretions in the acne are removed. To avoid inflammation, you can clean the wound with saline solution, or apply iced mild lotion to the wound with a cotton pad. This will not only reduce inflammation, but also reduce the redness and swelling after squeezing.
