How to deal with whiteheads?

Hello everyone,

I got a little overzealous the other day during my shave and (stupidly) decided I'd do an ATG pass. My normal routine is one WTG, one XTG pass.... Usually don't do ATG because I get irritation but I think I was feeling sadistic the other day.

Result: A few whiteheads near the corner of my upper lip.... mind you, this same area bled during the ATG pass of the shave.

I'm assuming these things will go away after a few days... Short of that, what else would work? I don't have much at my disposal as I'm in Grenada right now.

thanks,

If they are caused by ingrown hairs, a gentle scrubbing with a toothbrush can help to pop them free.
Whiteheads are the result of white blood cells collecting from what the body perceives as an infection. They won't clear up until the irritant is allowed to leave the skin.
