Cyst vs. Blackhead 💥 Extreme Close-Up Acne Removal

That’s a skincare showdown worthy of a microscope! 💥 Let’s break it down:

### 🧪 **Cyst vs. Blackhead: What’s the Difference?**
| Feature | **Blackhead** | **Cyst** |
|——————–|———————————————–|——————————————————–|
| **Appearance** | Small, dark plug on the skin’s surface | Large, swollen bump under the skin |
| **Cause** | Clogged pore with oxidized oil and dead skin | Deep infection in a clogged pore |
| **Pain Level** | Usually painless | Often painful and tender |
| **Treatment** | Exfoliation, salicylic acid, extraction | Medical drainage, corticosteroid injections, antibiotics |
| **Healing Time** | A few days to a week | Weeks or longer, may scar |

### 🔍 What You’re Seeing in the Image
The extreme close-up reveals both:
– **Blackheads**: Dark, open comedones clustered in oily areas.
– **Cysts**: Inflamed, raised lesions with swelling—likely painful and deeper beneath the skin.
