Steam treatment can be an effective way to open up the pores and make blackhead extraction easier. The heat from the steam helps to soften the skin and loosen the debris that is clogging the pores.
To perform a steam treatment, fill a bowl with hot water. Place your face over the bowl, making sure to keep a safe distance to avoid burning yourself. Drape a towel over your head to trap the steam and hold it in place for about 10 minutes. After the steam treatment, you can proceed with blackhead extraction using clean hands or a blackhead removal tool.
In some cases, it may be necessary to seek professional help for ear blackheads. If you have tried various home remedies and techniques without success, or if your blackheads are accompanied by severe inflammation or infection, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist.
A dermatologist can assess your skin condition and recommend appropriate treatment options. They may perform professional extractions using sterile tools or prescribe topical medications to help control blackheads and prevent future breakouts.
