Ingrown blackhead?! Is that possible!?

Use the end of a bobby pin and press on it, it might hurt but the whole blackhead will come out. Always works for me when I'm getting rid of them with my boyfriend haha :)

Shaye if you press directly on top of it it will only push the blackhead deeper. Do you mean push on either side of it? Maybe I'm just confused! Haha

^^^ Shaye is the right, the oposite end of where you put it in your hair, use the circular part and place it so the black head is in the middle, then press.

Awesome! I had also read that steaming helps with the process! Thanks ladies.

Ingrown hairs and blackheads are both types of pimples. The bobby pin method will leave scarring and if it is an ingrown hair, it won't pull it out or clean the area. Put hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball and hold it over the blemish. Then start wiping around the area in a circle until the dirt and hair is released. It might hurt or be uncomfortable but its the safest way to get the blemish out without scarring or risking further infection :) I hope this helpsv.

I've used bobby pins on my face for years, I pick my pimples (bad I know) but getting one blackhead out like this won't leave scarring.

Unfortunately the bobby pin method is not as precise as I need it to be! So I think it's better if I just invest in some blackhead extractors! Thanks so much for the suggestions 😊

Or! Maybe try steaming his face with a warm cloth first and try the bobby pin :) my boyfriend hates me picking at his blackheads on his nose but when I first met him they were bad all the time lol!
