I’m scared of squeezing my blackheads, so I’m wondering if there are other ways to get rid of them without extracting them. Are there any other options?

Yes, there are alternative ways to get rid of blackheads without squeezing or extracting them. Some options include:
1. Use salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide cleansers to unclog pores and prevent the formation of blackheads.
2. Apply topical retinoids to encourage skin cell turnover and prevent the buildup of dead skin cells that can lead to blackheads.
3. Use clay masks or pore strips to help draw out impurities and unclog pores.
4. Regular exfoliation with gentle scrubs or chemical exfoliants can help remove dead skin cells and prevent blackheads from forming.
5. Maintain a consistent skincare routine with products suitable for your skin type to keep blackheads at bay.
It’s important to note that results may vary, and it’s best to consult with a dermatologist for personalized advice according to your skin type and concerns.
