The notorious plugs
So i know that there's already been a lot of discussion around plugs that appear in healing wounds on here.
But i still wanted to share my experience and ask, if someone can relate to this.
i get these weird deep acne spots that i pick at and ofc the inflammation worsens after that.
But swear to god - there comes a point where theres a visible plug in these kind of spots, and the spot will sting, hurt and itch like crazy - until i remove the plug.
They will NOT heal or close until the fkin plug is out - and as soon as its out, it doesnt sting anymore, then inflammation is gone and heals up in a few days.
I've used hydrocolloids on spots like these and the spot will close - but i'll keep stinging when i touch it and the dark spot wont really fade cause now the plug is trapped under healed skin.
Anyone got the same problem? I think it might be cystic acne - either a keratin plug or hair follicle?
But these are like my worst enemy cause nothing helps besides getting the plug out which means i have to open them and sometimes reopen 'healed' skin where the plug was still inside.
So how tf am i supposed to not touch them when nothing apart from ripping the plug out will help?
Its not the same as wound healing plugs. Anyone can relate?
