Hi Dear,
Welcome to Health Care Magic Team.
Understanding your concern.
The white heads on your face as you mention in query are result of extra sebum produce by you sebaceous glands to keep skin oily and clogged pores of your skin .So basically the most probable cause is oily skin and clogged pores due to climatic and environmental condition.
When the pores become clogged the sebum produced by sebaceous glands collects inside and results into white and black heads .
I would suggest you use mild scrub and gently massage your skin this will perform the function of cleansing and exfoliation ,apply benzoyl peroxide on face to make it bacteria free and oil free ,use stean on your face to soften the pores of your skin,avoid use of heavy makeup and sunscreen products,have some vitamin C and E supplements to make your skin texture better and apply aloe vera gel. You can also use metallic extractor .
Keep your face free from dust ,wash your face with mild facewash twice daily and cover your face while going outside .If condition still persists then contact dermatologist .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
