milovany Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I know, um, someone that I'm related to but I can't say who that has these huge blackheads in his/her ears. He/she (who shall remain ageless and nameless) isn't that bothered by them -- but I am! How do you get those out of there? Will they be there forever? What does his/her future hold???? He/she is a dear and of course this is so trivial; but while I used to have blackheads at his/her age, nothing like this. Help?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 They will not last forever and they will be helped by eating more raw food. I didn't think my diet was that bad, but when I started getting a bit more raw foodie, just by having a salad twice a day, my skin really improved. There's a gross story I could tell you to illustrate the point, but I won't. :) Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SapphireStitch Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 If the person is a young person at the ages most prone to skin flare-ups, this will get better with time. Encourage thoroughly scrubbing out the ears to help exfoliate the skin. A person in my house had the same problem a few years back and when it was discovered this person came to me begging me to please "do something!" Hot compresses loosen blackheads, and a gentle push on them with the rounded edge of a traditional hair pin or some other rounded wire-type device will often expel the "contents". Obviously, any implements used should be cleaned very carefully before and after, and should be used very gently and carefully. Diet does make a difference, and I firmly believe that getting enough water to drink is a good place to start with many skin conditions.

Tam101 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I have one of these. It works well on most skin blemishes, white or black. Of course one wouldn't be able to use it on ones own ears. ick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyof4ks Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Warm rags and tea tree oil mixed with mineral oil will help. Be sure to wash with warm water to get the mineral oil off the ears to prevent further build up. No I have never had this problem lol.
