While popping blackheads may temporarily leave marks or scars, it is not a guaranteed outcome for everyone.
The risk of scarring largely depends on the individual’s skin type, the technique used to extract the blackheads, and how well the aftercare is managed.
It’s generally recommended to avoid squeezing blackheads forcefully to prevent unnecessary damage to the skin.
If you are concerned about scarring, it may be best to consult with a dermatologist for proper advice and treatment options.
