What’s the Difference Between Blackheads and Whiteheads?

Of course, blackheads, whiteheads and blemishes in general can be difficult and confusing to treat, so consider reaching out to your dermatologist for advice on how to treat your skin. Your dermatologist can also advise if prescription options are right for you if breakouts persist. 

Prescribed solutions like vitamin A-based creams can prevent pores from becoming clogged, as well as prevent the formation of larger acne lesions. 

And whatever you do, don’t squeeze either of them! Squeezing may seem satisfying in the moment, but can do damage to your skin in the long term.
