One common myth surrounding blackheads and whiteheads is that squeezing or popping them is an effective solution. However, this can actually cause more harm than good. Squeezing or popping blackheads and whiteheads can lead to inflammation, infection, scarring, and even the spread of bacteria.
It is important to resist the urge to squeeze or pop these skin issues and instead opt for proper extraction techniques performed by a trained professional. A dermatologist or esthetician can safely extract blackheads and whiteheads using sterile tools and techniques that minimize the risk of damage or infection.
