Yes, blackheads can be manually removed. One common method is to use a comedone extractor tool, which is a small, metal tool with a loop at one end that can help to gently press out the blackheads. However, it’s important to ensure the skin is clean and pores are open before attempting to remove blackheads to reduce the risk of infection or scarring. It’s advisable to do this after a warm shower or by using a warm compress on the affected area to soften the skin and open up the pores. Remember to be gentle and avoid pressing too hard to prevent damage to the skin.
