Blackheads

Ds is 7 and I recently noticed that he has a big blackhead spot in his left ear and about 3 smaller ones in his right ear (inside the ear but near the lobe IYSWIM).

I always make sure he washes and rinses and then dries his ears, but this is obviously not enough!

I tried to poke at them with a cotton bud but they aint shifting. I can't manage to get my fingernails in to squueze them out (not that he'd let me anyway) so should I just leave them?

I'm a bit of a spot picker myself and the fact that I can't get to them is driving me nuts! I thought about having a go with a nail file or a pair of tweezers, but now I am sounding crazy?

Perhaps you could cut a Bioré nose-strip into a small piece,and use that. You just dampen it,let dry,then peel off.
