When there are comedones around the mouth, the following measures can be taken: 1. **Enhance cleansing**: Use a mild, non-irritating facial cleanser or cleansing product to thoroughly clean the area around the mouth, removing excess oil and dirt to prevent pore blockage. 2. **Adjust diet**: Reduce intake of spicy, greasy, and sweet foods. Increase consumption of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C and fiber, which can help improve skin condition. 3. **Maintain regular作息**: Avoid staying up late and ensure adequate sleep, which helps regulate endocrine function and reduce comedone formation. 4. **Medication treatment**: Under a doctor's guidance, apply topical medications such as tretinoin cream or fusidic acid cream to help soften keratin and remove comedones. 5. **Physical therapy**: If comedones are severe, consider physical treatments such as photorejuvenation. These treatments use specific spectrum light to illuminate the skin, reducing secretions and promoting pore contraction to effectively remove comedones.
