Question 1

how can i get rid of the blackheads in my ears?

Accepted Answer

Ear: Whatever you use for blackheads on your face for example would work. Just be sure you stay away from the opening to your ear as it may clog it

Question 2

how do you get rid of inner ear blackheads and prevent them from coming back?

Accepted Answer

Outer ear: Your inner ear can't get blackheads since it's a nerve structure deep inside your head. If you mean inside your ear canal, have an ENT look for skin conditions and tell you more. Don't insert anything inside the ear canal to scratch/pop the bumps; you can get a bad infection.

Question 3

i have a black head remover set and i soaked them in alcohol wich caused two of them to get a little rusty. i grabbed the wrong one and used it on my nose for my blackheads what are my chances of getting tetnus? i wahsed my face before and after

Accepted Answer

Negligable: While tetanus spores can exist almost anywhere they are not common contaminants of the face. It is unrelated to the rust but possible when you create any wound in the skin that would allow the spores a way in. If it has been more than 5-10 years since your last tetanus booster the event is a reminder to consider getting one at your convenience.

Question 4

what can i do to get rid of blackheads and white head on my nose and below my eyes?

Accepted Answer

Topical treatments: Benzoyl peroxide lotion may help. See a doctor for a prescription.

Question 5

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 6

how do i relieve blackheads from my ear lobe?

Accepted Answer

Extractions and gel: You can have the blackheads extracted and get a prescription for an acne gel or cream from a dermatologist.

Question 7

what is the best and most effective way to treat a slightly infected blackhead in the ear from home?

Accepted Answer

"slightly infected": is like  "a little pregnant"- get examined and do not squeeze. You can apply 10% benzoyl peroxide gel on a Q-tip until you can be seen. Infection will need to be observed and antibiotics may be needed.

Question 8

i have a blackhead in my ear and i would like to remove it without pain and don't have to go to the doctors ?

Accepted Answer

Pimple in ear: You don't have to go to the doctor for this unless it gets very painful and swollen.  Most will resolve without any treatment if you don't pick at it. 
A warm cloth on the site will help soothe the pain.  Some suggest putting your routine acne care products on the pimple to help it go away.

Question 9

my 2 year old son has a tiny hole on his concha part of the ear. it had dirt that we squeezed out like a blackhead. he doesn't seem to be in pain. is this cause for concern? what is the cause? could it be an underlying symptom of something  bigger?

Accepted Answer

It happens: There are pores in this tissue like there are in other parts of the skin. Sometimes this will occur but it need not be a cause for concern.

Question 10

i'm have a blackhead in my ear that is swollen and hurts. i can't touch my ears because it hurts so bad and i don't know what to use.

Accepted Answer

See your doctor.: You're probably afraid to go to your doctor with this, right? Treatment of an infected blackhead only takes a second, and then the pain will be gone. Don't put it off any longer, get it treated.
