What is the difference between blackheads and mites

Blackheads and mites are actually two different problems. Blackheads are mainly composed of sebaceous cells and cells and are a common skin problem. Mites are actually tiny animals that parasitize on the human body and cause skin itching or other problems.

1. Blackheads are mainly formed by "plug-like" substances composed of sebum, cell debris and bacteria, which block the opening of hair follicles. Combined with dust, dirt and oxidation in the air, the end that comes into contact with the air gradually turns black, hence the inelegant name - blackhead.

2. Mites are a type of tiny animals belonging to the Arachnida class, Acari subclass, Arthropoda. Their body size is generally around 0.5 mm, some are as small as 0.1 mm, and most species are smaller than 1 mm. Mites and spiders belong to the same order Arachnida. Adult mites have four pairs of legs, a pair of antennae, no wings or antennae, and their bodies are not divided into three parts: head, thorax and abdomen, but are fused into a sac-like body, which is different from insects. The insect body is divided into maxilla and body. The maxilla is composed of mouthparts and maxilla base, and the body is divided into podia and endosoma. There is a lot of hair on the body and feet, some of which is very long. It has a mouthpart at the front and a diverse diet.

3. How to treat it?

1. After washing your nose with foam cleanser, first apply Dr. Li's blackhead extractor on a very thin cotton pad and apply it on your nose for 10 minutes.

2. After removing the cotton pad, apply Dr. Li’s blackhead-removing mask. Apply it on the area where the blackhead extractor was just applied, and tear off the entire piece after it dries.

3. Finally, pour the astringent toner onto another piece of cotton pad and apply it to the area where you have removed the blackheads.
