Recipes for eliminating white spots on the face: causes and treatment

Faced with this problem, do not rush to self-medicate. To get started, contact a dermatologist who can help determine the cause of the abnormalities in the body that caused the blockage of the follicles.

The most common causes of milia are:

• improper skin care;

• the use of low-quality cosmetics;

• improper diet;

• bad habits;

• health problems.

1. Give your skin proper care. Perhaps the cause of the appearance of milia was inadequate skin care. Often, elementary non-observance of hygiene rules can lead to a problem, for example, rare washing, using ordinary soap to cleanse the face, touching the skin with dirty hands. In this case, small white pimples are the minimum that can threaten your skin.

To get rid of milia, reconsider your attitude to your skin. Choose the right skin care products for your skin type, and use them regularly. Take care of daily make-up removal, observe the rules of personal hygiene.

2. Eat right. The use of alcohol, salty, fatty, spicy, smoked foods can lead to a problem. Limit the use of such products or completely abandon them for a while. Diversify your diet by including more fruits and vegetables. Cook food in the oven or steamed.

3. Take care of your health. If white spots appear on the skin suddenly and in large numbers, see a gastroenterologist. Perhaps this is a sign of a serious illness of the gastrointestinal tract or abnormalities in the functioning of the liver.

Only experts can advise on the best way to treat and care for your skin to get rid of further white spots.

Getting rid of whiteheads at home is not recommended, as this can lead to infection. And various cosmetics, unfortunately, are not able to help. Modern effective methods of cleansing the skin from milia will come to the rescue.

• Mechanical method. Removal of milia in this way is performed by a beautician who will treat the skin with a special solution and, by puncturing the formation with the thinnest sterile needle, remove the contents from under the skin and disinfect the wound. The specialist can pinpoint the puncture site so as not to damage the skin or leave scars and scars on it. No more than 10 formations are removed at a time.

• Electrocoagulation. The principle of electrocoagulation is to apply high frequency alternating current to the spots. After the procedure, a crust forms on the skin, which will soon disappear. A few days after electrocoagulation, the face will need to be wiped with an antiseptic solution.

• Laser coagulation. This method is considered the most effective and painless. The period of full recovery after laser exposure to milia takes two weeks. During this time it is necessary to avoid high temperatures, exposure to the sun and visiting the pool with chlorinated water.

– In fact, milia are microcysts that look like white bumps under the skin with keratin, sebum and dead cells. Most of the time, they occur in people with dry skin and can be caused by too thick creams, foundations, insufficient exfoliation, or dehydrated skin. They also occur when the skin is injured, for example, after sunburn.

The most important thing – do not try to squeeze out milia, as it is impossible to squeeze it out on your own, but it is easy to injure the skin. It is best to have them removed by a beautician.

• The easiest way is to treat with phototherapy BBL… The beams remove milia pointwise and do not affect healthy tissue. In addition, this technique protects against suppuration due to the bactericidal effect of the beam.

• Another option is chemical peeling… This procedure renews the skin and removes milia. For the peeling procedure, the cosmetologist chooses a special preparation based on several acids that will remove dead skin cells.

Often this problem leads to post-acne and purulent inflammation, therefore, complex therapy in combination with chemical peels and BBL phototherapy is important.
