A blind pimple can occur almost anywhere – on your nose, forehead, chin, or jaw. It is formed beneath the skin’s surface. It is often deep-rooted, and you may notice it only when you run your hand over it or when it hurts.
Blind pimples can be hard to get rid of. However, a few natural remedies may help speed up their healing. Scroll down to find out what they are.
What Is A Blind Pimple?
A ‘blind pimple’ is a term used to refer to the acne that develops under the surface of the skin. These pimples are not quite noticeable from a distance, but you can feel them under the skin when you touch it. They are usually a result of a nodule or cyst.
A typical acne lesion is referred to as a comedone. Whiteheads and blackheads are the mildest forms of acne lesions. A whitehead is a closed comedone, while a blackhead is an open comedone.
A blind pimple is a closed comedone that develops deep within your skin. As such pimples begin emerging through the skin, they may develop into whiteheads. In other cases, they just disappear. Blind pimples usually do not have heads like other types of pimples.
