Dr. John Munshower answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Infection: Sometimes bacteria can cause whiteheads to occur and local care can help treat them, just like you would use for a white headed pimple on your face. If they continue, then see your Dr. for a more definitive diagnosis and treatment.
