Ripping out blackheads can damage the pores and potentially lead to infections or scarring, making it generally not recommended. It’s best to use proper skincare methods like cleansing, exfoliating, and using products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to treat blackheads. If you are struggling with blackheads, seeking advice from a dermatologist can be helpful. For more detailed information, you can refer to trusted sources like the American Academy of Dermatology – “Blackheads” (https://www.aad.org/public/diseases/acne/enough-acne-myths#tips) or the Mayo Clinic’s article on “Acne” (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/acne/symptoms-causes/syc-20368047).

If you have any further questions or need more information about skincare and blackhead treatments, feel free to ask.
