I heard that you can put a few drops of lemon on a whitehead to help it go away faster, is this true?

I havent heard of that, but try tea tree oil :)

That would certainly dry it out, but if you already have dry skin I'd be wary. I like to get some soap on my fingers (like bar soap), put it on the bump and then let it dry before washing it off, that also helps to dry it out.

I would suggest tea tree oil as well. Never use lemon on you skin, its too strong for skon and it can burn your akin or cause scarring.

I personally tried lemon juice on my skin and it just made it sore. If you don't have sensitive skin like me then go ahead and try it! Have a good moisturiser handy though.

AND USE SPF!! But tbh, it shouldn't really go on your skin so either try it but don't make it a habit or just find an alternative.
