Blackheads are a type of open comedone caused by clogged pores with oil and dead skin cells. Scrubs, nose strips, and home remedies usually remove them temporarily, but they often come back because they do not treat the underlying pore blockage.
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• Avoid frequent scrubbing or nose strips, as they can irritate the skin and enlarge pores.
• Do not squeeze blackheads at home as it may cause inflammation or marks.
• Professional treatments like comedone extraction or chemical peels can also help in stubborn cases.
For a personalized skincare routine and treatment plan, you may consider taking an online consultation with me.

Sometimes proper skin care ingredients and topical creams are required for management of blackheads (open comedones).
If you treat them early, it prevents pimples, pigmentation and scars.
