Alot of people say that you shouldn't pop whiteheads and leave it alone, but how will it disappear on its own? to me whiteheads will get bigger and bigger if you don't pop them.

Rarely, I get a whitehead, but I have a really easy way of getting rid of it quickly.
First, you need to wet an entire washcloth and put it on a plate. Then, you need to warm it up in a microwave until it gets hot (but not so hot that it will burn your skin). Once it is ready, hold the hot, wet washcloth onto your whitehead. Hold it on there for a long time. IT WILL POP ON ITS OWN, and it will go away super fast without leaving a scab or scar.
Trust me, I do it for all my whiteheads and they disappear.

Popping whiteheads causes two problems; 1) scars 2) large pores. Not to mention that when you pop them, not all of the bacteria is removed you only succeed in irritating the area.
Was your face twice daily with phisoderm creamy cleanser or phisoderm bar, neutrogena, palmers. When cleansing try to use only your hands to wash and rinse. If you can't rinse with only using your hands then use a washcloth to rinse only.
Things like Oxy and clearisil tend to overdry the skin and believe it or not, it makes the problem worse.
Mary Kay and Avon have some really good acne products out right now. But they can be costly so the products that I mentioned phiso, neutro etc are more affordable and they do work.
Getting rid of acne takes time. Just wash your face twice a day and you should see results within 7-10 days or sooner.

If you have to squeeze hard to pop it the "pus" will get into the surrounding tissue and cause more whiteheads. If they are huge white and above the skin take a clean washcloth and wash your face with a little pressure......should pop it and clean it at same time,

Exfoliate the skin and apply an acne medication. Popping them can lead to infection and will make the healing time longer. If they are on your arms or other part of your body, this is excema. Soak in a cool bath and apply a thick moisturizer to damp skin.

oh ican see in my head what happened. Those are like the read infected bottoms on whiteheads. It might leave a small red scar or it might leave nothing. I think you should have an ice cubed put on it to reduce the red swelling.

If you pop a whitehead it might disappear...into a pile of yellow pus (infection).

They eventually pop on their own. If you pick at them you may get a scar.

It will just go away. Your body will fight it off. This is best since it won't leave a scar
