Solar comedones

[Nicifer_noonoo]

What an elightening thread this is! I've never come across this type of comedone either. Would you just treat them as if they were regular comodones? I expect you'd have to be very careful on an elderly client if you were using a comedone extractor...those things hurt!!

Do let us know how you get on with this.

Fab link. I wouldn't have picked pic 2 as being solar comedones. I've never treated a client with them. I do think they should taught about more though. I only learnt about them earlier this year when I did a skin analysis class with Nimue (Aust).

Hi there,

I had a look into this because I never knew what they were and my grandma has got them.

I found a couple of pictures for you.

I hadnt heard of them either...but I had seen them - just assumed they were just commedones.

OMG when those babies pop it really is very satisfying! More so than any other spot I've extracted! I don't use a metal extractor though, they are torture instruments. I place a piece of tissue around each index finger, stretch the skin around the comedone and then gently ease it out. So much more comfortable for the client.

In a nice way obviously...:lol:

My mother in law had a facial when I was at beauty school, she had a very deep rooted black comedone which I extracted and it did smell a bit I recall..! what a funny thread. Of course I'm not laughing at the poor people who have these!

 

[bexi]

no of course there is no laughing, this is a good thread because really we shouldnt be extracting what we dont really understand, and so now we all know - as I learnt on a course today knowledge is confidence!

Yes gas masks will be standard when you sign up!!!

[1999judy]

I'm not a skin geek like I say but bring it....ok I'm obsessed with squeezing other peoples blackheads etc...its gone on for many years I just can't help myself..where the hell is my pukey smiley?
My brother only said yesterday that he had a small lump on his back..he regretted mentioning it by the time I'd finished
OK it may be the pain thing to men..not 100% sure but I like it all the same
