Does anyone have a magic remedy for teens with numerous blackheads in their ears, please?

You can buy blackhead tools off ebay or amazon. Get them to soak in a hot bath then go to town with the tool. Used to do it all the time with my eldest! Grin

Hi my son had this issue and we eventually saw a dermatologist who recommended adapalene (differin). The GP prescribes it now and it works Iike a dream. I found all the tools to be ineffective as they were always ina hard to reach place!

Soap to dry the oil from the surface of the skin then apply a blob of peel off blackhead removing mask with a finger.
Alternatively soften and then remove with blackhead tool or the fold of a hair grip.

So glad my brood have outgrown this now!

I did actually buy a blackhead removal kit - but it is very difficult to extract any - they seem extremely stubborn plus it hurts and the teens are not keen at all Confused
I was hoping for some sort of miracle cream!

Salicylic acid (BHA) wiped around blackhead areas
Nip and fab do one and so do Paulas choice

Well we can't possibly answer that question until you provide us with an undertaking that you will film said extractions and post them in glorious technicolour in Sporner's Corner Grin
