It must be nice to have a dermatologist as your mom

I’m not getting anymore blackheads anytime soon


Because litterally every single pore is one

[villeguezk]

I literally have tried everything to get rid of them. Only thing that helps is squeezing the hell out of them

[julieolivia]

Love how she doesn't talk for hours about one thing and just go straight to the point!

[fbiagent]

I give up on trying to get rid of them, I'm just going to say they're freckles

For everyone asking for affordable options the brand ‘the ordinary’ has VERY affordable retinoids, salicylic acid, and AHA BHA ($5-15)!!!

I have no pimples but a massive blackhead problem. No make up and I wash everyday. This video helped so much!

[duanagrant]

I have so many that it gives me absolute anxiety trying to get them out🤦 I'm 37 and have had acne since I was 15 so I give up...but I will be teaching all this to my 13yr old daughter who is at risk of having similar issues. Thank you so much!!❤️

So basically, I'm gonna have hideous skin forever, but if I work really hard at it, I can maintain more subtle hideous skin. Cool.

Please do episodes on the scalp! oiliness, dandruff, etc.

I always thought popping blackheads was bad. I am happy I came across this video, I have learned a lot of tips that I definitely will be using from now on.

[drearroyo]

I love these Dear Derm episodes. Can you do one about getting rid of ingrown hair?

[sharilynnhalden]

Can you talk more about how to deal with those black dots on your nose if they aren't blackheads?

[bahawhite]

Dr. Mona, thank you! I've been trying to treat the blackheads on my nose and cheeks for the longest time. I utilized your suggestions and incorporated a BHA and a retinol and my skin has transformed!

[LoveMeToday]

Please do a video explaining the pros and cons of waxing the Brazilian area and how to care for the skin in that area (include the products and how to target ingrown hair bumps).
