I don't really get acne very often, but I thought this counted as the same thing so i tried proactive and everything else until i was told benzol peroxide, and sterilic acid were actually for killing bacteria and infection in infected and inflamed acne which mine is not and that peroxide and stuff actually makes it worse because it makes the plugs in my skin even harder. So specifically for whiteheads i've tried this stuff from the U.k. that you was just grape oil with vitamins that you rub into your face all like three times a day for 15 minutes and it's supposed to dissolve them and the lady convinced me no more popping, and it was just a waste of time rubbing oil into my face for a month and they got worse (I started getting regular pimples and blackheads in addition to my first problem) she said that was good that means it's working she convinced me to do it for another month and they got even worse so i quit. i just ordered this stuff from skintactix specifically for whiteheads that's supposed to dissolve them too, but this stuff burns so i figured it might be better at dissolving things than oil, but I have been using it almost a month now with no results except for thousands of Whiteheads so many it like there is more than one in everysingle pore they are like overlapping and they squeeze out easily, but it would take me hours and i would have to do it over a couple days and after the swelling goes down that definately helps the way my face looks Popping them is the absolute only thing that I have ever found to get them out of my skin, but they come back in a couple of days and i can't keep up with that. It also says at the skintactix website that alot of whiteheads are almost always associated with a linoleic acid deficiency so I got some safflower and flaxseed oil too. It also says this will only help with getting future white heads and not clearing existing ones, but I have a whitehead in everysingle pore. so does this mean if I really do have a linoleic acid deficiency and i fix the problem and i pop them all they won't come back? I'm so confused about everything and don't know what to do I ordered some BHA samples from paula's choice I don't think i have tried that yet. Does anybody else have a severe Whitehead Problem? The reason my skin looks red in the photo is because I just put some burning skintactix blackhead/whitehead dissolver on it. Help I have so much stuff inside my skin that it feels itchy not because it's dry but because they need squeezed and when i follow the rules of not squeezing, my skin get's grosser and grosser.
Pimples come and Go, but Whiteheads are Permanent
