Means nothing: There's plenty of keratin and enough sebaceous glands to produce this occasionally.

Acne: You don't need to pop those  blackheads, you can introduce  infection, it is best if you  visit your doctor or dermatologist to get proper  acne treatment.  Good luck

Question 3

can germx/hand sanitizer cure acne? or in other words, get rid of acne? such as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, etc..?

No: A good regimen of daily skin care under the supervision of your doc or dermatologist may. However, there are no simple fixes such as this. They are myths.

Question 4

i drink more than 2 litres of water and do not eat junk food.still i have blackheads, scars, acne, and dull and ugly skin.i want the skin on my face to be like it is on my hands. should i take proteins?

Accepted Answer

Skin care routine: It sounds as if you need a good skin care routine to diminsh sebaceous gland activity and acne disease as well as exfoliate. Too much benzoyl peroxide is not good either and may dry out the skin contributing to your "dull" look.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Finger lesion?: Sounds like wart or verrucae. Best to see a Primary Care doc to have iit treated.

Question 6

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 7

i have a bump on my right cheek , it has the looks of a blackhead. its been on my face for more than year yet it doesnt have a hole. i cant pop it. what is it ? what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Milia in teens: Many teens experience skin changes during puberty, not all acne. Milia are small white bumps found on cheeks and around eyes. Unlike acne, they’re not clogged follicles but skin cells that don’t shed properly becoming trapped in a pocket on the skin. They are generally benign but can be difficult to remove at home risking scarring. If painful or bothersome, they should be evaluated by a physician.

Question 8

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 9

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 10

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.
