That scab will come off and you wont get black heads for awhile xx33 [ LaDyLoVeLyx3's advice column | Ask LaDyLoVeLyx3 A Question ]

My best advice would be to take a long shower, and wash your face, when the scab comes off just stay in the shower a little longer, the steam in the shower will help loosen everything, and ( it doesn't always work, but often does) when you get out and dry off the scab will reform only it will be less obtrusive, and little easier to cover will make up and so on.

I remember clearly that it's fine to pull off your black-heads because they're basically dead pimples and won't spread or anything. (For future reference, do not pick off any other kind of acne or it will spread- use acne products on those).
When I take them off the scar usually goes-away within about two days.
I'm not sure how to pick them off without leaving a scar. You might want to look into those... I forgot what they're called... you put them om, they stick like bandaids and then you pull them off. They're for face blemishes like that. You might want to look into those; I'm not sure but they might do a more clean removal of black-heads.
