It's dirt, debris and oil within a pore that's become infected by acne bacteria and formed a pustule on the surface of the skin. So one thing that you can do is you can actually steam the face and then take your ring fingers and actually do a wiggling motion and help to remove that pustule from the follicle. Another thing that you can do is use some really good antibacterial products and antibacterial cleansers that's going to help to kill the acne bacteria and help to pull that pustule out of the follicle as well. You can also use a blemish dissolver, something that has sulfur in it is a really great product to help with whiteheads. Sulfur is a drawing agent so it's going to help to draw any infection out of the follicle. Also anything with citric acid that's going to give you an antibacterial property as well as a exfoliating property and you can also use anything with salycidic acid that's a drawing agent as well.
