See your doctor: This problem can only be solved by seeing your doctor and being evaluated face-to-face.  After a thorough examination, your doctor should be able to tell you what's wrong and what to do about it.

Question 2

how can i get rid of white heads and black heads on the face?

Accepted Answer

Comedonal acne: Blackheads and whiteheads are a type of non inflammatory acne. This type of acne responds to benzoyl peroxide, retinoids like tretinoin, adapalene, tazarotene and sulfur-sulfacetamide topical preparations. It does take 3-4 months to see a good response.

Question 3

how to get rid of white heads under the eyes?

Accepted Answer

Maybe not whiteheads: They might be milia which are bits of keratin protein and oils trapped beneath the surface of the skin.
Treatments include: using a sterile needle to pick out the contents of the cyst; destruction of the cysts using extreme heat, curettage (surgical scraping and cauterization), or cryotherapy (freezing);
medications, such as topical retinoids;
Chemical peels or laser.  See a dermatologist.

Question 4

how to get rid of white heads on your face when i squezze bump white pus comes out?

Accepted Answer

Treatment of acne: The typical treatment of your type of acne includes topical medications like epiduo or ziana or atralin.  If the topicals are somewhat effective then oral antibiotics are added like solodyn (minocycline) or doryx.

Question 5

is there a way to get rid of little white heads from waxing?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Those are ingrown hairs, which occur as the hair shafts attempt to regrow after being plucked out by the wax. The problem eventually solves itself if you just let the hair grow back, but that defeats the whole purpose. A dermatologist can prescribe topical medications to treat it and prevent recurrences after future waxings.

Question 6

i need to get rid of all white heads / blackheads in less than a week. is there a way?

Accepted Answer

Extraction: Visit a dermatologist to get these extracted if you want a faster treatment.  Your dermatologist can give you a night cream (tretinoin) to help treat and prevent these.

Question 7

how to get rid of what white heads and bad acne?

Accepted Answer

Rx: This is the 21st century and nobody needs to have acne; life's hard enough. I start with topical Clindamycin with or without a retinoic acid derivative. If this hasn't worked well in two weeks, choose a systemic antibiotic such as Erythromycin or a tetracycline that is right for that person. Dermatologists have stronger medicines andlasers. Good luck.

Question 8

how to get rid of deep white heads on cheeks?

Accepted Answer

Medical facial: You can have extractions performed by an expert aesthetician, in a medical office. Also for maintenance you can use a retinol or get an rx for a retinoid from your dermatologist to  decrease the size and number of the cyst like growths called milia.

Question 9
