These are the methods to treat black heads -.• Blackheads are formed due to blocking of skin pores. Steam your face to open the pores, which in turn clear the skin. Steam your face for a couple of minutes.

Hello white heads can be removed by comedone extractor. Better to visit a dermatologist n get them removed. For oily skin it's better to use salicylic acid 1% based face wash in daily use.
