the proper way to pop a whitehead:
make sure it is not red and make sure if it is painful or not. if it is red and painful, DO NOT POP IT!! this will leave a bad, ugly scar that will fade in MONTHS or even years.
okay, if it is just a plain old whitehead that is just sitting there on ur face, get a face towel or a bunch of tissue paper and gently squeeze and lift the whitehead off.
then quickly dab on some hydrogen peroxide to prevent an infection and speed up healing. then dab on some benzoyl peroxide to kill the acne bacteria so another pimple wont appear.
good luck! and dont worry, its not that embarassing. i get this all the time yet people usually forget about it like after an hour or a day. its not that big of a deal. :]

I think if you pop anything on your face there's a chance of scarring. Go to a health food store and get some Tea Tree Oil...it's a blemish miracle. Wet a cotton ball and put it against the rim of the bottle and put two drops of the oil on it and then hold it against the white head. It should literally disintegrate. Also, rub the cotton ball gently across your entire face, but don't forget to moisturize...try some apricot kernal oil or grapeseed oil...they are amazing! Good luck!

By all means, pop it! That is the nice part about whiteheads. they are so ready to go. Just pop it and don't keep squeezing it, just put a little foundation and powder over it and when you get home, scrub it.

Why don't you want to pop it? It won't heal if you don't. Just sterilize a sewing needle and pierce the white part. It will come out that way without hurting the skin any more. Pull apart gently to remove all fluids. Allow it to dry and heal.

don't pop it!!! unless you want a bunch of nasy scars don't sqeeze it or poke it!!! white normal old-school paste toothpaste dries them out overnight and to make it less red rub raw tomato or cucumber on it....it works!! i also use a Clearsil product with 10% benzoile peroxide which works really well for drying them out and preventing any further pimples

try witch hazel on it after you poped it and got the liquid out of it. if you really dont want to wear some concealer on it as a quick cover up

suck it up and pop it.
clean it up with a tissue.
if it bleeds, hold a tissue on it until it stops.
put ice on it to reduce the redness and bigness.
then put some acne ointment on it
