Blackhead Extractions in a Teenager with Acne

A blackhead is also called an open comedo (single for comedone), and it is a clogged pore in the skin that is open to the air. Keratin (skin protein) and sebum (oil) combine to block the pore. They are often found on the face and trunk. but they can be found anywhere on the body. Blackheads are not clogged with dirt, but it is the exposure to air that causes oxidation turning the internal contents black. They can be extracted using a comedone extractor. I usually use an 11 blade (a blade that comes to a sharp point) and a Shaumberg type comedone extractor. Subscribe to my Dermatology educational channel, Dr Pimple Popper University!

1. Stay tuned for my video publishing TOMORROW. When he comes back BUT I steam & prep his face first!!
2. I got my driver's license right before I turned 18 (so my papers wouldn't void). Personally, I thought that driving made me super anxious so I avoided it. Turns out, I only hated driving with my parents. First time driving alone I was perfectly fine.
3. it's kinda satisfying..
4. Why I don't have a permit or license? Two words: "Florida drivers". I refuse to drive. :D
5. that tool she is using is garbage
6. I have a blackhead just like those on his nose. It's just right above the border of my lip, it's really bothering me.. Any tips on getting rid of it? I heard blackheads near the lips are hard to get rid of. But, as I said before, any tips on getting rid of it? I've tried before, it's a really stubborn blackhead..
7. Kids are more irresponsible now days compared to when we got our license. Schools is more important, not cars, driver licenses or cell phones.
8. I'm 19 and I didn't get a car at sixteen because my family was really poor and homeless for a year, I still don't have one because my mom is really abusive and controlling and doesn't want me to get a job or leave her :$
9. why do u use that tool instead of using ur fingers to pop them?
10. yep, when I did my sons face we used a face steamer and those packed bh softened and came out.
11. I'm 18 and I dont have my permit or my drivers license...its more of a personal thing...i don't go out to parties or hangouts with friends but then again everyone is different
12. soooo satisfying
13. im 21 and have no idea how to drive
14. I got it at 20.... my family is a wired dynamic
15. Is there any reason (there must be) why she's not doing this with her fingers? It looks like they would come out much more easily than with the tool. It frustrates me to watch
16. Dr. Lee, you asked about the driver's license thing....my kids did not get their's when they turned 16 due to responsibility issues. They are/were excellent kids, however my husband and I did not feel they were responsible enough to have their driver's licenses at 16.
17. The tool you use makes it harder to take them off.. there are tools a bit different but makes the work much easier.. anyway.. i like the vid thxxxxx
18. I'M 21 & I STILL DON'T HAVE MY LICENCE BC MY LIFE IS A WRECK & I SUCK SO YEAH
19. I know it's really gross but the way I get my blackheads out are like a bobby pin or my nail. I use my thumb nail as that's really strong and long and I put it upside down and then scrape all of them out! It's satisfying AF, how many people do that??
20. Didn't get my license until 18 years so I wouldn't have to wait for my dad to sign for me! And didn't have my very own car until the next year!
