I’ve got blackheads that are really bothering me, and I’m tempted to just squeeze them out. Is this a good idea?

Squeezing out blackheads may temporarily remove them, but it can also cause damage to the skin, leading to inflammation, scarring, and potentially pushing the contents deeper into the pores. It is generally not recommended to squeeze blackheads yourself, as it can worsen the issue and potentially lead to infection. It is best to use gentle skincare products containing salicylic acid or retinoids to help clear blackheads, or seek help from a dermatologist for professional extraction if needed.
