Whitehead Removal and
Acne Treatment Answers
Mild acne problems are usually best dealt with through acne treatment
options like topical ointments and cleansers. Whitehead removal should be handled very delicately and might need the help of your
doctor. Blackhead and whitehead removal can be handled in a variety of ways. The following discusses the treatment options and
extraction process, if needed, that you should consider.
Acne Medications
One of the more popular approaches to whitehead and blackhead control is the use of effective acne skin care lotions and
gels. This approach is the obvious answer to eliminating, or avoiding, whitehead and blackhead problems. A
dramatic reduction in whiteheads and blackheads can be accomplished through a regular acne skin care program. A daily routine of
cleansing and medicating your skin can have fantastic results in only a short time period. Two of the most recommended acne
treatments are the Proactiv® Solution , which uses a scientifically developed combination of cleansers, toners and repairing lotions, and ZENMED® Derma Cleanse®
System, a natural based acne treatment program. Compare how these acne treatments rate against other popular programs at the

Comedo Extraction
Comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) should be removed by a dermatologist using sterile instruments. An aesthetic cream
is applied in the surrounding area and then the comedones are drawn out using a pencil like instrument which clears the top to allow removal of
the blocked skin cells and sebum. The procedure is typically followed by an application of antibiotic cream. It is important not to test this at
home. Pressuring or picking at pimples can cause infection and permanent scarring.
More difficult cases may be dealt with in a multitude of ways including oral antibiotics, ointments, and physical treatments such as chemical
peels and drainage.Physical treatments must be performed by a dermatologist. Although squeezing pimples is a form of physical treatment, it is
ill-advised. It can lead to acne-causing bacteria to spread and may result in scarring. Physical cures done within controlled problems reduce the
chance of risk while providing a positive experience.
