If the professional doesn't disinfect the area after extraction, a whitehead will likely form because your white blood cells will rush to the pore to kill the remaining bacteria. If you've ever had ac...

Icing reduces inflammation/swelling/redness. If you want to completely get rid of the redness within minutes - whether it is a cyst or a scar, then put a drop of Visine eye drops on the area. The o...
