Pimples or acne start off when small red bumps appear
on the face and body. These small red bumps after
a few days turn to either blackheads
or whiteheads.
Blackhead extractors are thus a godsend for people
who desperately want to get rid of their pimples and
avoid the scarring as well.
As the name suggests, a blackhead extractor helps the
person extract or pull out the blackhead from the
skin surface. But take care – while extracting,
utmost care should be taken because the lesion may
erupt leading to bleeding and pus coming out of it.
The act may also push the infection deeper down into
the skin and when that happens the tissues may also
get affected. Before extracting the blackhead, it
is a good idea to boil some water and moisten the
affected portion of the skin. This will also sanitize
the area.

Here are the various types of blackhead extractors
Tissue Extractor: This is the simplest process where
just a tissue is used and nothing else. Wrap the blackhead
with a tissue using the fingertips and slowly pull
the blackhead out. However if the blackhead does not
come out, then do not apply more pressure. Leave it
at that, otherwise it can crack leading to scarring.
Comedone Extractor: Here a tool made with stainless
steel is used to remove the blackheads and the blockages
on the skin surface that created the acne. Beauty
clinics use this methodology often. The tool has a
hole in the center and the ending looks like a scoop.
Slight pressure is applied and the blackhead plug
comes out by the hole. And that too the skin in the
surrounding area is not damaged. The scoop at the
head of the extractor is used to remove any element
that had clogged up the pores.
Lancet Comedone Extractor: They come with two ends.
At one end there is the lancet (the size of which
differs greatly) that creates a hole in the blackhead.
And from the other end of the tool, all the dirty
elements from within the blackhead are pressed out.
Most people and professionals as well use this blackhead
extractor.
Double Spoon Comedone Extractor: These extractors
are used when the blackheads are really big. The spoon
at the tip has up to 19 holes and while there are
big ones present, but there are smaller holes as well
that let the small sized acne be extracted also. It
is not applicable for whiteheads. These extractors
are great for all those who want to extract the pimples
themselves because they do not damage the skin or
cause any acne
scar on the surface.
