Is there a cure for blackheads?

Dr. Erin Welch, assistant professor of dermatology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, warns against squeezing, which can lead to scars: “The best way to get rid of them and prevent them from re-forming is to wash your face with a product containing salicylic acid.” If they persist, see a dermo.
