Asked By:msanchez2017 in Houston, TX

I dont have much acne but what I've gotten on my face lately are white bumps. Similar to a white head. I saw a dermatologist and she recommended I get a facial with extractions. But how safe is an extraction and wont it leave scarring or open pores? Also my face is very sensitive and tends to dry out very fast.
