What do u do if u pop a blackhead and it leaves a big opened pore and anyone use the acne treatment murad it ?

Interesting question, I would start by agreeing with Perfidity above, in that medications themselves will not close the pore. At the point where you elect to rupture a comedo or whitehead, your problem becomes one of prevention of infection.





Frequently, ';popping a zit'; seems the logical thing to do, but when you do so, especially if you have not propperly cleaned the skin before and after, is the possibility of a reinfection which will cause the thing to come back larger and more difficult to treat. As a result, this is frequently where long term scars start.





If you must drain the pustule, clean the skin before you start with either alcohol or betadyne. Sterilize the needle with a flame and ever so lightly puncture the head FROM THE SIDE. (Do not go directly in, as you will frequently push the infection to greater depths of skin, where it will again come back, worse than before.)





Once you have ruptured the head, (after washing your hands thoroughly) do not just squeeze. You need to apply gentle pressure with your fingers, and roll your fingers back and forth, as if you were rubbing your fingers together. . (Picture this is the worlds smallest violin playing ';my heart bleeds'; sort of motion.





After you have finished, apply some benzyl peroxide cream to the area and repeat twice a day until the lesion is gone.





The benzyl peroxide is probably one of the best over the counter remedies you can purchase. Apply it to your face as directed and it should have a visible impact in about a week or so.





Hope this helps. .What do u do if u pop a blackhead and it leaves a big opened pore and anyone use the acne treatment murad it ?
yes, i've had that to happen, %26amp; no i've never used Murad, but i've heard of it. it's suppose to be good.





at this point, clean it, disinfect it, put witch hazel, or any astrigent on it, or neosporin, * ( even if yu dont, it will get better w/out the witch hazel ) , %26amp; dont pick at it.





you may wake up %26amp; have a White head if there is any more gunk in there, bu t hopefully , it's all out......What do u do if u pop a blackhead and it leaves a big opened pore and anyone use the acne treatment murad it ?
At this point, most acne treatments won't close your pore back up. If you leave it alone, it should fill back in after awhile and then heal.
Just keep your face clean. That's probably your best bet. Putting medication on it might sting since the pore is open. You might also try buying something called an astringent, which is supposed to help keep your face clean and shrink pores a little. You can find that stuff at the grocery store or at wal-mart in the health department.
