Whiteheads are bump type pustules that most commonly appear on the face and shoulders. The procedure for the removal of this acne form should be achieved with utter caution lest it leaves another embarrassing scar on the face. The whitehead could be a severe form of cystic acne and thus should never be removed by simply squeezing out the pus from the pore. Many dermatologists firmly believe that the best treatment for the safe elimination of this skin disorder is to let this bump grow into its full course. Once, the whitehead grows into its maximum capacity, antibiotic creams and lotions rich in antibacterial chemicals like Benzoyl Peroxide, beta hydroxyl acid, or salicylic acid should be applied on it. An oral dosage of antibiotic can also be taken for the speedy elimination of this bothering mark.  Extraction of whiteheads should be the last resort taken only when the above mentioned medicines and lotions fail to eliminate the appearance of this mark. This surgical procedure should be done by a qualified dermatologist. Many people self-experiment with this procedure at home by using a comedone extractor and end up aggravating the problem. Incorrect removal of this glaring bump leads to the spread of its toxins all across the nearby areas. As a result, within a few days, one notices the emergence of more white heads all over the affected area.
