Refillable blackhead

16 replies

Esqueleto · 29/12/2018 12:47

I have what can only be described as a refillable blackhead on my forehead. It's a recent addition and I don't like it. Even when "empty" it's visible (a huge open pore) and makeup seems to make it more obvious.
How can I close the bugger for good? Im too scared to google it because of inevitable images that make me feel ill.

Give it a week without makeup, and just keep it clean. Micellar water or such each night. It needs air to heal up properly.

Hope it goes soon for you!

I have had one on my back for years. Recently it was squeezed, got infected and became hideous. Tread carefully

Pore of weiner?

Oh god they have a proper name? 😱 Ok thanks I'll try just giving it some fresh air and hope for the best.

Post a picture in Sporners corner, please?!

I reckon you could monetise it.

Esqueleto · 29/12/2018 19:33

Ha I don't think it's got what it takes to make it on sporners corner, it looks huge to me but thankfully isn't too monstrous.
Plus I already extracted it so it's just clean and boring, don't sporners like seeing the gunk intact/leaving the pore?

I have exactly the same. I have never managed to make it disappear unfortunately.

Esqueleto · 29/12/2018 19:42

Bunnybigears oh bollocks. Have you tried acids? Thinking of giving bha a go on it.

I had one on my forehead. Using Pixi Glow acid toner seems to have made it disappear.

Tea tree oil.
Neat applied with cotton wool, never known it not to work. Could take 5-7 days.

Esqueleto · 29/12/2018 21:41

Thanks, I have some tea tree so it's getting some of that right now!

I have a large open pore and never seem to get rid of it ... hate it.

Karenspolos · 29/12/2018 21:46

Pictures or it didn’t happen.

I have one on my leg. It refills with some vile stink but it keeps me focussed when I’m sat on the toilet.

percypeppers · 29/12/2018 21:56

Was going to suggest tea tree oil. It works on verruccas!

emma6776 · 30/12/2018 22:21

I’ve got one in the crook of my elbow - doesn’t matter what I do it always reappears. I’ve had it 27 years!
