A blackhead, or comedone, is a hard, dark-colored top on a blocked skin pore which is difficult to extract. Many blackheads have a hard core of clogged oil and pus which is trapped beneath the surface of the skin. Removal of these types of blemishes often require more than just simple squeezing.
Only blackheads that have reached the surface of the skin can be extracted properly. Attempting to remove a blackhead and core that have not moved to the top of the follicle can be unsuccessful, and also very abrasive to sensitive skin tissue. Additionally, the oils and toxins of an under prepared blackhead can mix together and shoot back into the skin rather than out.
The first step in removing a blackhead is to clean the area well with soap, then steam with a hot compress such as a wash cloth. This will loosen the blocked pore area and help with ease of removal. If simple squeezing does not work after cleaning and steaming, it is possible to utilize a simple blackhead removal device such as pointed tweezers. Unfortunately, this can cause scarring and damage to the skin. After extracting the blackhead, the pore should be properly cleaned again to remove oil and toxins. The area should be treated tenderly, especially if an especially invasive tool was used. To avoid further skin contamination, any removal tools should be properly cleaned after each extraction.
