After extracting blackheads, if facial itching occurs, maintain cleanliness and dryness of the affected skin area. Do not wipe the lesion with alcohol-based solutions, vinegar water, saline, or other irritants; avoid excessive stimulation, squeezing, or scrubbing, and rinse gently with running water to prevent secondary infection. Once the wound has healed, enhance sun protection and moisturization of the face. Medical-grade masks with skincare, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating properties may be used. Additionally, patients are advised to maintain a balanced diet and regular lifestyle, avoid staying up late, and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits.
