I usually don't like to make multiple new threads per day, but this is bugging me like crazy.

I have a blackhead on the left side of my nose and it's killing me, and tips on how to get rid of it? I tried squeezing it for like 15 mins but nothing's happening.

Erm, what's a blackhead?

proactive XD

It's a pore that gets filled with crap and it appears black.

They're nearly invisible if you don't have like a thousand of them, but if they're in areas with cardlidge (or on your nose) you can feel them and they're annoying to have.

squeeze harder or just let it be!

Cosmetician (sp), worked for me, and its not that expensive...

Why all your posts have to be random spam?

Cos were on OTL and people here talk about problems beside SRO. He has a problem with his nose, whats the big deal...

Dude, not everything in the world has to be spam. HE has a problem, yes its not the most important problem of the Intraweb in 2007, but its a funny one none the less.

O, and yes this is OTL. We like to chat about things that are not related to SRO. There is a difference between OTL chat and Spam.

Chill out. The only post in this thread, which could be considered full out spam cuz it is in no way related to the topic at hand is yours

i tried that once. I can still feel the scar..

Back on topic i hear if u squeeze em it causes inflamation and acutally makes the hole bigger for the next lot of dirt.

So squeezing black heads = bigger black heads...

But thats just what i hears

use a nose strip u can get at a pharmacy along with some ointments.

Yepp, don't ever squeeze them. It's gonna bleed, hurt even more and lots more will appear. Get some adequate medication for the purpose.

try warming up the area with a hot watersoaked wash cloth then squeeze it....I once tryed useing a needle i found lying around the house...it didn't work -_- so don't do that

Get a warm warm cloth or qtip or something and dab around the area, don't rub. Rubbing and picking and squeezing will make it worse.

Warm up the area, and wash your face thoroughly and rinse with cool water. Keep your hands off of it, that last thing you need is more bacteria/dirt getting into it.
Just keep it clean.

Don't cut it off, really, don't.

Visit the doctor and he'll remove it with this stuff that's really cold.

Blackheads don't start black, they're white and turn black. With that said, the best thing to do is prevent them.

As a rule of thumb: warm opens up pores, cool closes them.

What you're going to want to do is get an exfoliating scrub (as well as other facial products). There's a couple companies that already offer non scented products good for men, but if you want to get down and dirty Hugo Boss has a "metro" line of products that has an exfoliating scrub that works and smells really well.

You're going to want to message your face with hot water, give it time to open up your poors. Then you're going to add the facial scrub and apply as much pressure as you can without hurting yourself, just keep messaging your face as you would without the scrub. If you still can't get it out, at the pharmacy they sell a tool that looks like a metal loop, scraping it across your face will force out all the stuff from all your pores.

After removing it, wash your face with FACIAL soap and rinse well with cold water. Everyone, especially men who usually neglect their skin, should get in a habit of always turning the water extremely cold before getting out of the shower. It will close up all your pores and even help if you have dry skin.

I do this every morning reguardless of whether or not I have blackheads, and after a hard day (with physical work or anything that will make you sweat alot) it's good to use a nose strip.

By the way, your nose is exactly like your chin, all "nose products" work on the chin as well.

Good luck.
