Facial Blemishes – Therapy for Whiteheads

Facial blemishes like whiteheads are best left in the hands of a dermatologist for proper treatment. Trying to remove whiteheads by yourself may result in a serious infection or produce (yikes!) a scar.

Use a gel or a cream containing salicylic acid to help unclog the pore. Plus, wash your face using an antibacterial face wash that contains benzoyl peroxide or salicylic and glycolic acids to help control the buildup of white blood cell activity.
