Last Wednesday, I tried to scrub off my whiteheads on my nose but I got it all inflamed now. It is really bothering me. How can I actually remove it without having to go to a dermatologist or a facial spa center?

You could actually use a nose stripe to clear away those blackheads and white heads on your nose area. I use this regularly to keep my nose clean. You could check out more information on Biore Nose Stripe: http://beauty-tricks.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&Itemid=99999999&id=978

I usually poke them with a small needle if they won't pop, and then squeeze the junk out. I've never even thought of going to a dermatologist just to remove pimples. That would cost way too much.

WHy not try the aspirin mask to dry your whiteheads off.. just crush around 4 or 5 pcs of 100 mg aspirin (buy the white coated ones not the colored ones.. any brand will do..) and add some water or you could also use cetaphil to form a paste.. apply it on the affected area or better yet all over your face (be careful not to inhale it since it could make you sneeze) and leave overnight.. do this atleast every other week and you could see results in about 2 weeks..

I think this works on whiteheads - I don't really get white heads, i just get pimples (Ugh!) but I use toothpaste. It works really well. I think I read somewhere that it works on whiteheads too. Try this page: http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Rid-of-Acne

the only method I've tried that works is to have it pricked by my dermatologist. :) It may be a bit expensive and very painful but the procedure will definitely prevent those whiteheads from returning. Let me know if the home made recipe below really works. :)
