What to do if i squeeze my blackheads everyday, will this cause damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quite possibly: It may cause scarring. Pore size could ^. Wash face w gentle cleanser 2x/day & use oil free products. No oily hair or heavy foundations. Exfoliate occasionally. Try not to pop pimples. Avoid touching face (cradling chin in hands). Remove makeup before bed. Shower after strenuous exercise. Consider otc products (salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide). If > mild acne see dermatology.
