After closed comedones appear on the skin, initial improvement can be achieved through daily skincare. First, thoroughly cleanse the skin daily, maintain a healthy balance of moisture and oil, and regularly exfoliate to help alleviate comedones. Additionally, under a physician’s guidance, patients may apply topical agents such as salicylic acid to help remove excess sebum and unclog pores, thereby relieving closed comedones.
