Strange whiteheads? They keep coming back.?!
Question: I have these really wierd whiteheads on my nose, that I noticed a few years ago. When I squeeze them they come out and leave a hole, but a few weeks later they come back. The whiteheads themselves are solid, so they looked like plugs. I used a bunch of treatments including Salicyclic acid, alcohol (ouch), peroxide (fizzy), microderm abrasions (i didnt know why i tried that, turned my nose red). The best solution I have found is simply extracting them by squeezing, or using those sticky strips designed to remove blackheads. I heard of the possibility of scarring and infection, so I only extract them right before I take a shower, and so far no problems with either.
I been at it for 3 years, but the white heads keep coming back, I guess I have to wait it out until I'm 40 or something for them to go away?

the pores in your nose tend to be larger and more prone to plugs than other parts. by squeezing the whiteheads, you only achieve making the pores larger, more inflamed, and more susceptible to more and larger whiteheads.
as someone else suggested, go to a doctor or dermatologist and get the right treatment going, instead of your current self-help disaster
thats disgusting
I would go to a dermatoligist. I have been breaking out lately for some strange reason and I have done everything I can think of to stop the break outs but nothing is working. My next step is the dermatologist. Good luck cuz I know how frustrating it can be!
Are you eating a lot of fatty foods? You tend to find that they come out as whiteheads. Just use an astrinent toner/cleanser every day and the problem should go away.
Go see a doctor. It may be some serious skin condition! Or it might be nothing just check to make sure. It's better to be safe then sorry.
hmmm tough one i get white heads on my nose and i just squeeze them and that works
but u have a bit of a problem maybe you should consult ur doc
jujst leave them and don't touch or pop them! maybe they'll start to leave!
if not go see a dermetologist!
