Should you squeeze a blackhead?

Answer by  DStone (817)

You should only lightly press on the edges after washing your face in a hot shower or steaming your skin. After getting the dirt and oil build up out, sweep a gentile toner over the area and use a light moisturizer to keep the skin healthy and reduce any redness.

Squeezing a blackhead will not make a scar, but will lead up to forming a nice big pimple. Sometimes it does nothing. It depends on your skin type. If you squeeze a blackhead and it forms a pimple, you should wait until it forms to squeeze it and squeeze until it bleeds. Then leave it alone or it will scar.

It is usually recommended to go to a professional to have blackheads removed, as it can cause scarring. But if you really want to remove blackheads, steam your face, use a tissue, and clean your hands really well before squeezing the blackhead
