Why do I have so many blackheads?
Firstly its important to determine whether you actually have blackheads. Some of us have pigmentation on our face which looks like blackheads (mainly accross the nose area) - especially if you are darker skinned. If it is pigmentation, there is nothing you can do about it except from cover it with make-up and protect it with SPF. To determine whether it is a blackhead, try and squeeze it. If it is slightly raised off the skin and you can squeeze it away, its a blackhead, if not, its pigmentation. Blackheads are usually caused by oily skin. What lotion do you use? I bet its not an oil-free one! If not this is your first move. The neutrogena range do oil-free moisturisers, invest in one. To get rid of the ones you already have, steam your face for 10 mins, then squeeze away (with clean fingers and nails)! This is the only way you can get rid of them. You could also buy a blackhead extractor, which is a metal tool with holes at either end, you press it over the blackhead and out it pops - but they generally work the same way as your fingers would! Steam your face once per week then exfoliate it straight after. This give you a deep clean and get rid of any developing blackheads. Hope that helps

Blackheads on side of nose?
I have a huge blackhead on both sides of my nose. They're in the crook (where my nose meets my cheek) of my nose so I can't pop them out. They are really big and hurt whenever I move my nose or rub. I already use a Neutrogena Acne face wash/scrub but it's not helping. I used Biore strips too. None of them have gotten them out. I feel that they're noticeable, but mainly painful! thanks
Blackheads on cats lips?
Today I was cuddling my female cat and noticed she has little black marks around her mouth. I've noticed other questions and answers talk about cat acne, but that generally seems to start on the chin, whereas my cat just has them around her mouth, and they're only very small black dots. She's just about a year old, and lives with a male, so I was wondering if it could be because of a change in hormone levels and if she could be pregnant? She hasn't been pregnant before.
Why does my dog have blackheads?
Just pop them. Squeeze near the area and they should pop. My frenchie has black heads. There is nothing health related wrong so their is no need to go to the vet.
Is it bad to remove blackheads by squeezing your pores?
Squeezing them is a way to get rid of them instantly, and if/when that pore fills up again it will be softer and much easier to treat.Because you'll be dissolving them with the right exfoliation, this will help the process along. It's like pushing the reset button on the plug! it's always easier to treat one that's soft and newly formed, rather than one that's been around for a while and made your nose its home!Some will be too small and partially covered by the pore's opening, so squeezing will just damage the surrounding skinHowever, don't be tempted to squeeze every blackhead you see. Just exfoliate wisely!
