A member asked:
Can teenagers get facial treatments in which the dermas prick their pimples or acnes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The term is extractions of blackheads or whiteheads which are obstructed hair follicles. If there is inflammation or infection present the lesions can be extracted and possibly injected with dilute corticostoids. It is much better than the patient trying this at home.
