12yr old has a stubborn nose blackhead. It is the only one. Have tried steaming and gently squeezing but it won’t shift. What can we try? Don’t want to use the nose strips or anything harsh. Rest of skin is clear.

I bought a small metal storage box from Amazon containing lots of different ‘blackhead removing tools’. Omg I love that thing. Much better than the body shop tool. Lots of different shaped ends to access hard to reach areas and different sized blockages. It does contain a couple of needle type tools but I make sure I sterilise those first if I do have to use them. I prep with clean skin and a warm compress first.
But I need to build my kids up to it/wear them down. They usually won’t let me near them the first time I see something…

Can you, er, linky link said box of wizardry?

Wizardry it is, indeed. It was the Bestope Pro on Amazon but they don’t seem to have that particular one now. There are heaps of others available - including this one (I hope this works):
