Dealing with the annoyance of whiteheads is something that really is not necessary if you are using an effective whitehead treatment and facial routine.

What Exactly Are Whiteheads?

Whiteheads are nasty looking pustules that can appear just about anywhere on the body, but mostly you see them on people's faces. They are basically infected hair follicles that form bumps that are filled with oil, bacteria and dead skin cells. When this all rises to the surface of the skin and cannot escape, it completely blocks the pores, causing the white pus-filled lesions called closed comedones or whiteheads.

Should You Remove Whiteheads By Popping Them?

It is a popular notion that popping whiteheads is a bad thing because popping them could spread the infection to other areas of the skin and cause the existing whiteheads to become worse and leave more scarring.

Treatments to Remove Whiteheads

Some treatments for whitehead removal which are popular include the following:


  • Treating the whiteheads with products such as Benzoyl Peroxide or Retin-A - although not a cure, these products have been known to offer relief. However, they can be irritating to the skin or cause excessive dryness and peeling.


  • Using prescription antibiotics (topical or oral) is another common treatment which helps with infection, but it does little or nothing to actually get rid of the whiteheads.


  • Accutane, also known as Isotretinoin, is another prescribed medication for comedones, but it is usually not prescribed for milder acne, like whiteheads, but for severe cystic acne. This medication is also known for inflicting very serious and dangerous side effects on people.


  • Extracting the whiteheads (closed comedones) is a procedure that should be done by a qualified Dermatologist, but some people do it themselves with a comedone extractor. Be careful. If this procedure is not performed correctly, it can cause damaging effects to your skin and not even remove the whiteheads, making them worse.

The real key to success for removing whiteheads is following an effective facial routine which includes a system that works. The right skin care method is essential to getting rid of whiteheads and should be a high priority in your daily routine.

I'm Audrey and I had a face full of whiteheads and after trying a number of things to get rid of them that did not work, I found a way to remove whiteheads myself and now my face has been clear for over 5 years. Your face can finally be clear too with the treatment regimen I used. Get it right now by visiting: - you don't have to suffer anymore.
