Ear blackheads- how to remove from squeamish 11yr old!

[erebus]

DS1 has 2 massive blackheads in the flat inner part of his ear, the bit you can see straight in front of you if you look at his sideways head, iyswim. So they're sort of flat 'into' his skull!

He conceded tonight that they're sore (though not inflamed or red, even, but they're both on raised, whiteish bumps they're so big) and that he's 'had them long enough'. I'm a bit worried he'll get teased about them at school.

DS1 is a wuss by his own admission. But I need a suggestion about how to attempt to get these 2 blackheads out, bearing in mind I couldn't get 2 fingers in there to squeeze them!

I will revisit this on Thursday.

TIA
