For medical education- NSFE. Here is a recap, one month later, of my patient who had big blackheads on the back. The blackheads had been there for quite some time, so you can see they cause pretty enlarged, dissented pores which will shrink slightly, but probably not completely. “Mother” which was the unending blackhead/cyst still […]

Many of you ask me to keep you updated on my patients, asking how they look after their surgeries. This gentleman had 3 cysts removed via punch excision, using a 4mm punch biopsy tool, about one month ago.

Many people with oily completions, and a history of acne are prone to them, but they are fairly common and can occur in anyone. It’s not medically necessary to remove these bumps […]

For medical education- NSFE. Now that I have extracted more blackheads and whiteheads in the last few months than I have in my entire career as a dermatologist (!), I have noticed a pattern. Women tend to present more with whiteheads, aka as closed comedones, rather than blackheads. Maybe this is because we, as women, […]
