Does blackheads extraction regulary good for the skin ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Blackheads: These are usually dirty blocked hair follicles. Extraction should not be an issue as long as no scarring is produces. They really are not great things to have.

If done improperly: Can cause infection or scarring. Safer options would be using exfoliation.
