How To Remove Blackheads In Cleavage?
Hello,I have had some blackheads in my cleavage for a couple years now, and I m just not sure how to get rid of them. My doctor gave me epiduo when I first got them, but they never went away. Is there any immediate way to treat it myself without going to see a specialist?

Hello,blackheads are closed comedones which occur due to obstruction of oil glands of skin.Best way to remove them is manual extraction by comedone extractor by specialist.DO NOT REMOVE THEM ON YOUR OWN IT MAY LEAD TO MARKS.Also use very small amount of tretinoin gel 0.1% over them.Several peels are available with Salycilic acid combination which taken regularly will help in controlling them.
