It’s actually probably OK to try and extract a blackhead on your own.
If you’re absolutely determined to rid yourself of pimples at home, there is one kind of pimple that you’re probably fine to tackle solo.Dermatologist Doris Day told Self that gently squeezing a blackhead to extract its contents is generally fine because this type of pimple is already open to the surface.
