How to get rid of clogged pores/whiteheads? press, poke, pick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No perfect solution: There is no perfect solution - you should wash well, pat dry and there are prescription meds that can help. Poking, picking and squeezing can actually make things worse and you should refrain from this.
