It is generally not recommended to pull out blackheads with your fingers or tools as this can lead to skin irritation, infection, scarring, and can potentially cause more blackheads to form. It’s best to use gentle cleansing techniques, exfoliation, and products containing salicylic acid or retinoids to help reduce blackheads over time. If you have persistent blackheads or concerns about your skin, it’s advisable to consult with a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment options.
