Blackheads are seen very commonly and it is a form of mild acne. It is seen as projections on the skin. They are actually black in color because they do not contain the pigment melanin in the areas affected. The internal health problems like indigestion, thyroid, constipation and anemia are also a cause of blackheads. Besides the conventional blackhead treatments like oral and topical applications and surgical practices, some other form of treatment can also be tried to cure the problem of blackheads.

The most commonly used treatments are metallic extractors that are used to plug the blackheads. These extractors are available in diverse patterns based on the rigorousness of blackheads. For instance, a lancet extractor is an instrument that contains two ends, one to make a hole and the other to remove the dirt. This type of an extractor is used often by the dermatologists. Other customized extractors are the double spoon extractor. In this type of extractor, one of its ends is shaped like a spoon, which is beneficial to plug out the large blackheads. It can be used safely by the beginners.

The most affected area with blackheads is the area around the nose. These blackheads are more painful as compared to the regular blackheads. Use of the blackhead removal strips is the most effective treatment for the removal of blackheads on the nose. In such nose strips, a specific kind of glue is used to shred the blackhead. You should clean your face gently and dry it thoroughly before using these blackhead removal strips. Then wet your face and apply the strip only for about ten minutes. Then pull the strip in just a single go with full force. After removing the blackheads, clean the face again using cold water. Over usage of these strips can lead of skin irritation.
