Question

These blackheads later become boils? Accurate couldn’t clear it up. It’s is mild. I feel like it’s hidranitis superlative. Can jpl or laser hair removal fix the problem?

I consistently recommend Pore Therapy by Obagi. It has an active 2% salicylic acid. Patients love it and are able to see change quickly.

Jeff Rapaport, MD · Answer

In my opinion, salicylic acid washes and toners as well as retinoids ( adapalene) are helpful for blackheads. These are available over-the-counter at your drug store. Follow up with a dermatologist or esthetician for removal.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

The best treatment to remove blackheads are typically sought with an aesthetician. I recommend a silk and salt peel. These will not only remove black heads but will clear out all of your pores and revitalize the skin. In addition, extractions and peels are great options as well. I recommend consulting with a aesthetician or cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer
