It is generally not recommended to pull out blackheads with tweezers, as this can lead to skin irritation, scarring, and potential infection. This method can also cause damage to the skin by enlarging the pores or creating a risk of broken capillaries. Instead, it is advised to use products specifically designed to treat blackheads or seek professional help from a dermatologist or esthetician. Here are some sources for further information:
