I am a 16 yrs old and i have a lot of blackheads. i squeeze them everyday! is this bad for my skin or can i keep doing this routine?

Squeezing pimples: I would not recommend squeezing your blackheads. You can make matters worse. A simple benzoyl peroxide cream or wash can be the first step to improving your acne. Your doctor can also help with prescription medications. Remind your doctor that acne is cruel and unusual punishment and ask for help! (remember cruel and unusual punishment is not ok in the usa!).
