Advice: No, you shouldn’t squeeze them with your fingers. Try these affordable treatments from the drugstore instead.
Although it’s tempting, squeezing blackheads with your fingers is a bad idea. That can cause trauma to the skin and lead to hyperpigmentation or scarring.
Blackheads form in an area of the skin called the follicle, commonly referred to as a pore, which is a channel that starts underneath the skin and opens at its surface. A hair protrudes from the pore’s opening but is usually so small that it isn’t visible. They can cause scarring, which usually appears as tiny “ice pick” scars in the skin and may be associated with a type of acne called comedonal acne. In this type of acne, you may see blackheads along with closed comedones — also known as whiteheads, which are small, skin-colored bumps. These are also plugged pores, but instead of being open to the air like blackheads, they’re closed off, so the material inside doesn’t turn black.
