Does rubbing ice on the face helps it remove blackheads or pimples Hi, i m 13 yrs old. Female. Whenever i have pimples, i always try to crush it using my nails then after a while, it became dark spots on my face. and i could nt remove it. How could I prevent having dark spots/blackheads and pimples especially on the nose? And I also tried rubbing ice on my face. would it help?

Hi;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
Applying ice on face will make the blackheads temporarily hard to remove because below the black head there is a white oily collection that will get condensed after applying ice.So if you need to remove black heads then you can take steam ;it will make black heads come out easily.Take steam instead of ice it will help better.
Better consult a doctor for treatment if the pimples are more or they are infected.
Thanks
