Slightly delicate: need to squeeze blackhead on 12 year old dd's nose!

Or is there an alternative?

I've had a go at it, but its not coming out easily and I don't want to damage her skin and also she is being a bit of a baby about the discomfort.

What about those nose pore clearing strips? Would one of those get a proper blackhead out?

Any advice for ol' Mintyy and her pre-teen dd?

Hmm, might ask the GP, have got a couple of seborritic (sp?)cysts it could work on. The blackheads are only on my nose, got good skin otherwise. That said I've got a pustulant spot under my nose that I've popped tonight.

Wait till she's asleep then do it quick! DS2 is only 16 weeks and has had a cracker on his chin for most of that time. I got him drunk on milk then got it yesterday.

my DS 14 had a whole host of fabulous blackheads living on his nose until last week, when I told him either I got them or he went the drs to get stuff the deal with them.. he hates the GP. I had such a good time and to be fair to him the size of some of them has put him off just leaving them again and he's promised I can do them every Friday night when he's home so that he can have a bath and scrub his face with cream after i've done it. I will be holding him to this promise, they where magnificent.

Couldn't help watching all of that video in horrified/mesmerised fascination...am feeling a little queasy now though - same sort of feeling you get from a sugar binge Grin

Go to the doctors guys. Don't accept spottiness. My GP was so happy to prescribe.
