Dr Sirisha (http://theskincentre.in/) elaborates on the treatment for blackheads and whiteheads.
Causes:
Blackheads and whiteheads do not exist in isolation. Blackheads and whiteheads on the skin is an indication that skin is undergoing some sort of hormonal effect. It may be a completely normal hormonal change due to onset of menstrual cycle or due to adolescence.
How are Blackheads and Whiteheads Treated?
They are treated by treating the underlying hormonal condition. The treatment is very similar to the treatment of pimples. This is because the root cause of pimples and blackheads & whiteheads is same.
Here are the steps involved in the treatment
#1 Cleanse your skin regularly with a gentle pH neutral cleanser
#2 Use lukewarm water for cleansing your face.
#3 Use scrub twice a week.
#4 Consult your dermatologist
#5 Severe cases where blackheads and whiteheads coexist with deeper pimples require oral medication. You should consult a dermatologist if you have an acute case.
