Question 1

i squeezed a blackhead and its a red and brown small bruise, how do i get it to go away?

Accepted Answer

Time: You created a small bruise by squeezing the “black head”.   That small bruise will go away in a few days like other bruises .

Question 2

i over squeezed a blackhead yesterday but half of it still didn't come out. now i'm left with a big fat bruise in the middle of my face. what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Hmmm....: In such a situation, one can hope there is not a developing infection under the skin, and that the "foreign body" reaction quiets down. A blackhead is the visible end of a comedone, a clump of dead skin cells stuck inside a pore. The stuff stuck behind it leaks into the skin, when squeezed or sometimes by itself, causing the "foreign body" reaction. Warm compresses may help. If needed, see the Dr.

Question 3

i was trying to squeeze black heads out of my nose and usually my nose just gets read but now there are purple spots almost like bruises how do i treat this so that it will go away?

Accepted Answer

Leave them alone: Leave the lesions alone so that they can heal. A comedone extractor is sometimes used for this purpose. Squeezing the skin harms it.

Question 4

how to remove blackhead?

Accepted Answer

Keep skin clean: Avoid squeezing , wash with warm water use mild soap , I prefer glycerin soaps or none a cream for daily use
Topical application of benzoyl peroxide once daily may help

Question 5

how to remove blackheads?

Accepted Answer

There is a tool: That looks like a little spoon with a hole in it and you place the blackhead in the hole and push down. Probably available at a drug store.

Question 6

how to squeeze blackheads?

Accepted Answer

Fingernails at base: Just push at the base with a fingernail on each side and push them together until it comes out. Do not push hard enough to break the skin, it isn't necessary.

Question 7

what are the best products for blackheads?

Accepted Answer

Meds: Many patients do well with over the counter benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid preparations. Some patients require topical or oral antibiotics or retinoids as well. If the over the counter meds alone don't control your acne after a month of daily use, see a doctor for additional treatment options. It is important to be persistent, and some patients 'get worse before they get better'.

Question 8

how do i relieve ear blackheads?

Accepted Answer

Blackheads: Tretinoin (retin-a, atralin, renova) is the mainstay of treatment for whiteheads and blackheads. Tretinoin is a derivative of vitamin a and works by increasing cell turnover and reducing the "stickiness" of the sloughed cells. It helps expel the plugged material returning the pore to normal. Tretinoin can be irritating, so specific instructions should be followed.

Question 9

how can remove blackheads on lip?

Accepted Answer

Blackheads: You shouldn't have any blackheads actually "on" your lips.  You could have some at the margin between your face and your lips.   You could use a face mask treatment designed to extract blackheads or you could see a dermatologist or aesthetics doctor if this is an ongoing significant problem.

Question 10

will blackheads turn to whiteheads?

Accepted Answer

No: The white head is more under the surface. The black head is open to a pore. The air oxygenates the material to make it darker.
