Causes of Chronic Closed Comedones
Disease description:
Over the past two days, I’ve developed several small bumps around my nose and mouth. I visited the dermatology department at the hospital, where the doctor diagnosed them as closed comedones. I’ve been eating a very light, bland diet recently, so I’d like to ask: what causes closed comedones?

Dr. Li Ruizhi
Hello, the causes of closed comedones (whiteheads) are relatively complex and closely related to an individual’s skin type. Additionally, hormonal imbalances can also contribute to their development. For managing closed comedones, it is essential to maintain proper daily skincare and thorough facial cleansing. Excessive and prolonged sebum production is the primary cause of closed comedones; therefore, it should be actively avoided. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
