Hi Sha!
Good question!
The answer is Yes, squeezing whiteheads might cause scarring.
I see many patients who developed scars after intense squeezing or extraction of their own white-heads/blackheads (comedones).
There are many other safer ways of removing white-heads and black heads.
Best treatments for white-heads/blackheads in Singapore:
1. Chemical peels
- eg glycolic acid peels
2. Topical retinoids
3. Aqueous Microdermabrasion
eg. hydrafacial MD
There are many good options available to treat white-heads.
Hope that this helps!
Warmest regards,
Dr Justin Boey
