Hi,

Thank you for your question!
A ‘blind pimple’ is acne that has developed beneath the surface of the skin, resulting in a painful lump that does not have a ‘head’ like other pimples.
Blind pimples can be challenging to be rid of , but can clear with patience and appropriate treatment.
One of the most valuable pieces of advice we can give concerning blind pimples is to avoid the urge to squeeze or pop. Pimples below the skin’s surface are difficult to pop, and the act of squeezing can worsen inflammation both below the skin and on the surface, and may lead to scarring.

What we recommend you is to follow a strict skin care routine.

For a skincare regime, we recommend you cleanse the skin with Azclear Action Foaming Wash. It removes dirt, skin, and bacteria that causes the acne. We also recommend treating it with Azclear Action Medicated Lotion which is an oil free, invisible, antibacterial lotion for the treatment of blackheads, pimples and acne. Azelaic acid, the active ingredient in our Azclear Action Medicated Lotion, is especially helpful in the treatment of blind pimples owing to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial action. It is important to apply Azclear Action Medicated Lotion to all areas where your skin breaks out, rather than spot-treating existing blemishes; this will help prevent new pimples from forming.
Azelaic acid is not a fast working treatment for acne; you may notice some improvement after a month or so, but it can take several months to get your acne under control. If the acne persists, please see your GP and they will recommend an appropriate treatment.

Remember that successful treatment of acne requires commitment to a regime.
