It is difficult to avoid or prevent this.
Whiteheads & Blackheads
Whiteheads and blackheads are the first stage of acne. Acne develops on hair follicles which have sebaceous glands attached to them. These sebaceous glands produce an oil called sebum. Due to some reasons, the sebum changes in quantity and quality resulting in scales on the hair follicle. These scales block the skin pores causing acne. This blockage of the skin pores is the beginning of acne.
The first stage of this blockage shows up as blackheads and whiteheads. These are also called as comedones. A comedone is a sebaceous follicle that is plugged and filled with sebum, dead cells, etc. An open comedone is called a blackhead because of its blackish appearance. A blocked comedone is called as a whitehead. It is a small bump in the skin with skin like color. A whitehead has a closed mouth and the blackhead has an open mouth. The black color of blackheads is not due to dirt as some believe, but it is the oxidized sebum.
Treatment And Care:
Don't squeeze whiteheads And blackheads yourself. That may leave permanent scars on the skin and also cause infection. The best approach is to go to a dermatologist, who will pick them open, if required under sterile conditions. Note that Acne scars can be permanent. Wash your face gently with lukewarm water and mild soap to remove excess sebum and dead skin. Do this twice a day. Don't be harsh on the skin. Acne takes time to clear. Apply any topical cream that may be prescribed by your dermatologist. Acne treatment requires patience. Some of us think that washing affected area many times a day may clear acne fast. That may rather further inflame the acne. Be gentle and patient.

use a good face wash regularly. in case u hav sensitiv skin get advice from a dermatologist as to which brand is best.
to remove black/white heads, use black head removal strips - i think u can get them from pharmacies. just stik it on and stay with it on for some minutes ( read the directions) and then when u peel it off all da blackheads come off

OK!!! Here goes if you are brave and really serous about getting rid of them. Don't Laugh please but try this . Take Pepsodent tooth paste and dab on them at night or if you are going to be home alone all day dab on the tooth paste and see what happens. I have itching on my back and my husband gives it the old tooth paste on the back. It works. Be careful who you tell this to they will think your crazy. Several people have tryed it and it works
