Hey guys,

I have had lots of blackheads in the past and I removed them by using the double ended blackhead remover. Now, I noticed that I have tiny holes (scars) on my nose because of that. I see them every time I get close to the mirror.These holes don't seem to go away.

So... How do you guys deal with blackheads and the scars? Also, if you have scars for a long time like I have now, how do you minimize its size?

Yo said you have holes on your nose? Those aren't scars

OT: Don't scratch pimples so the scars don't exceed the size of the pimple.

Scratching only makes it worse, as for black heads: keep clean or use Keratin solving medicine that doesn't irritate the skin

Don't let whiteheads turn into blackheads, by then they've done damage to your skin. If it's too late, when finishing your face wash and/or getting out of the shower, set the water really really cold for a bit so it closes the pores of your face. And use a moisturizer often, eventually your skin will recover.

And IMO whitehead/blackhead strips are better, there's no pressure like the remover tool to damage your skin.

Or you could just do what I do and annihilate every one that shows up before it gets that bad. Screw anyone that cares about miniscule scars. I have none.

Edit: Also "miniscule" isn't in Firefox's spell check dictionary..

In Maine, aren't scars used to tell who's at the top of the social ladder?

Yeah, and on Fridays we paint our faces blue and raid villages in Quebec.

That's because it's spelled "minuscule".

Sounds like the college my step sister goes to except they paint their whole bodies blue... (yes they're naked).

you're doomed, honey.

And you know it.

You will never have a girl again, or anything in that direction.

You're screwed.

I don't have them, almsot never had white/blackehads cuz it's just not in my genetics package...

Oh, and as a serious reply, multiple studies have been done to acne, and while all the public hears about is the pharmeceudical side, there's another side. Studies have found that your face actually has it's own immune structure/system. The best way to fight acne is to not wash your face with soaps/lotions/creams, and to just pop the zits that have the potential to be blackheads.

There is none... It's the same way that the best way to grow up is to eat off the floor and wash your hands as little as possible (You will have NO allergies, and barely ever get sick).

Or have friends who's parents will let them sleep over. I rather sneeze a lot in the spring and smell nice.

That's because it's spelled "minuscule".

Adj. 1. miniscule - very small; "a minuscule kitchen"; "a minuscule amount of rain fell"
minuscule
little, small - limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent; "a little dining room"; "a little house"; "a small car"; "a little (or small) group"

Look, you're cool and everything, but you have a nasty habit of feeling like you need to correct everyone. Both ways are correct.

i heard somewhere that showering helps, cant confirm or deny though.

lol

go ask 4chan. their wisdom knows no bounds.

Cut down on the junk food, and take atleast 2 showers a day.

Actually, I wasn't falsely correcting you. See, the word "miniscule" was one of the many words added as a proper spelling due to the laziness of people with the english language. It's nothing like "grey" vs "gray", "color" vs "colour", or any of that.

I have a game for you. Look in any dictionary before the year 2004 and tell me if you can find it. If you can, I'll give you a cookie. Hell, try typing it in wikipedia, it'll only redirect you to "minuscule".

I correct people because the world has gotten too lazy, especially linguistically. If we want to really understand things as a society, we need not be afraid to provide an opposing argument, or accept one. I hate this bullshit of people saying "Don't correct me, it doesn't matter if I'm wrong or not!" No, that's bullshit. 100% pure lazy bullshit. Knowledge has come from countless arguements where one arguement presides over another, until one rises to the top. Usually that arguement continues to fight countless battles, but still manages to reign supreme. Learn to take criticism, corrections, and opposing arguements, and maybe, just MAYBE you won't be brainwashed like countless people have.

I think even Granpa will agree with me on this one, and it really is quite a crime to this world.

never take 2 showers a day

1 shower a day is already bad for your skin (i do it anyway >.>), but taking 2 showers a day ... baaaad

lol, calm down, he's not gonna fail at life by mispelling "minuscule"

if u'r really worried, look up some infomercials.

I don't think it really matters if it was added due to "laziness" or not. The whole english language works like that. That's how words have always been added. Facts: the year is 2008, miniscule is in several dictionaries, and it does not appear in firefox's dictionary.

I'm sure Grandpa will add that discussion is healthy, but being an asshole isn't. Don't confuse his love of learning with an elitist air.
