If you notice closed comedones primarily along your chin and jawline, this could indicate that they’re hormonally driven, she says. That’s because, as, hormonal changes can cause the oil glands in this area of the face to work overtime, leading to—you guessed it—hormonal acne in the form of closed comedones. Occasionally closed comedones go away on their own without much treatment. But generally they don’t, Dr. Yang says. And even if they do, Dr. Conrad says it can take weeks or months.
In fact, Dr Conrad refers to closed comedones as the “first step” toward inflammatory acne—all it takes is a little additional stress for them to reach that state. That stress may come in the form of a hormonal surge, an increase in oil production, or a buildup of sweat and bacteria around the already clogged hair follicles.
Physically applying stress to closed comedones will have the same effect, Dr. Yang adds. They’ll become irritated, then inflamed, and eventually grow into red, tender-to-the-touch papules or pustules, Dr. Conrad says.
