I've never had any, or anything like them really. Do they hurt?

They just look pretty bad

Wtf, I have some too, didn't know what the hell they are but oh well.

I usually just scratch the dead skin off with my knife to clean up the area, dry it up with alcohol, then squeeze.

I used to squeeze and then put on some acne cream. It may hurt like hell, but it's worth it. It took me 2-3 weeks and after that they have stayed away.

tbh, it's like they're intergrated into my skin. i've had them for a VERY long time, i just never cared enough to deal with them (and i didn't know that blackheads could be this tiny and in this quantity.)

also, tried the toothpaste thing (put it on, left it on overnight, scraped it off when i waked up) and nothing. rar. ;|

Holding your head over boiling water for 20 minutes does the same. It steams your face, and makes your pores expand for sweating. Also, the steam just helps heating up the tallow inside the blackheads, making it more fluid.


Cloth shops have them here. Probably some sort of cosmetics shop will have them. They're bits of paper the size of a nose (when wrapped around). You put water on your nose, and place it on. Then you wait for so long the package tells you to, and then tear it off. It's like tape, but with chemicals. Don't use tape, though.
