Should I pop or squeeze my whiteheads?

my friend told me i should leave them alone when they are white or yellow is he right?Should I pop or squeeze my whiteheads?
it is best to leave them alone, but I for one can not stand a whitehead on my face! So, what I do to minimize scarring is take 2 tissues and put them over my fingers to squeeze the pimple. That way there isn't so much pressure from my nails, etc and it doesn't leave horrible finger indentions. If you pop, follow up with a facial cleanser for acne, whatever type depending on your skin.Should I pop or squeeze my whiteheads?
just use proactive
I have had problems with whiteheads for years - so annoying! It is best to leave them alone when they are white. Sometimes you can tell that they are ready to pop when they turn kind of yellowish, then you should be able to squeeze gently and see the ';white/yellow'; part come out of the skin. Unless they can be popped with very gentle squeezing, (i.e., no needles, tweezers, etc.) then they should be left alone!
i agree with your friend. if you do pop them you are at risk for scaring your face. try putting toothpaste on it overnight to dry it out. it really works!!
ok u really shouldnt squeeze or pop them but u shouldnt leave them alone try proactive. hope i helped bye!
