जब चहरे के छिद्र (pores), तेल के कारण, जिसे सेबम (sebum) कहा जाता है,  बंद हो जाते हैं तो चहरे पर काले बाल या कमदोंन (black heads and comedones) आ जाते हैं |  ये समस्या चिकनी और मिश्रित त्वाचा(oily and combination skin) केलिये सामान्य है, और इससे बचना बहुत मुश्किल होता है |  काले बाल (black heads) को निकालने की कुछ विधियाँ (methods) उपलब्ध है, जिसका परीक्षण (trial) करके, मौजूदा और नए काले बाल (black heads) बनने से प्रभाव कारी तरीके से बचा जा सकता है |

  • चहरे पर से काले बाल (black heads) हटाने का सबसे पहली विधि (method) है कि गहरी क्लींजिंग (deep cleansing) और अपपत्रण स्क्रब (exfoliating scrub) का प्रयोग किया जाए |  सोप स्वतंत्र फेशल क्लेंज़र (soap free facial cleanser) का नियमित प्रयोग काले बल (black heads) को बिना आस पास की त्वचा को नुक्सान पहुंचाएं बिना, इसे छिद्रों (pores) में ही पिघला देने में सहायता करता है |  हफ्ते में एक या दो बार अपपत्रण स्क्रब (exfoliating scrub) के प्रयोग से दृढ काले (firm hairs) बाल (black heads) हटाये जा सकते हैं |  जब आप चहरे पर मोइस्चराईज़र (moisturizer) लगाएं तो हल्का मोइस्चराईज़र (gentle moisturizer) लगाएं, जो चिकनाई से मुक्त हो और चहरे के छिद्रों (pores) को बंद ना करें |
  • इसमें कोई शक नहीं कि सामान्य प्रकार के क्लेंज़िंग (cleansing) से त्वचा को साफ़ करने से यह साधारण तरह से साफ़ होती है और काले बाल (black heads)  को चहरे से हटाने में प्रभावकारी सिद्ध नहीं होती |  कई लोग काले बाल (black heads) को निकालने केलिए इसको घुमाना (squeezing) बर्दाश्त (resist) नहीं कर पाते |  इस तरीके से बचना चाहिए क्योंकि इस तरह इसकी समस्या और भी बढ़ जाती है और चहरे पर निशान भी आ जाते हैं |  यदि इनको निचोड़ना (squeezing) अत्यधिक आवश्यक हो, तो इनको निकालने की कुछ सलाहें हैं |
  • सबसे पहले काले बाल (black heads) पर स्वच्छ गर्म धुला कपड़ा (warm washed cloth) कुछ मिनटों केलिए डाल दें, जिससे काले बाल (black heads) ढीले (loose) पड़ जाएँ |  इसके पश्चात कपास के गोले (cotton ball) या टिशू पेपर (tissue paper) की मदद से इसे आस पास से दबाएँ और खींचें |  उंगली के नाखून से त्वचा को ना खरोचें, और यदि यह विधि (method) एक या दो कोशिशों में काम न करें तो इसे रोक दें, फिर दूसरे दिन यही कोशिश करें |
  • कुछ विभाग भंडार (department store) या औषधीय भण्डार (drug store) काले बाल (black heads) चिमटा या काले बाल (black heads) निकालने वाला उपकरण (tool) बेचते हैं |  इसमें भी समान विधि (method) का प्रयोग किया जाता है परन्तु इसमें कुछ स्वच्छता होती है |  चिचिपी पट्टियां (sticky strips) जो चहरे पर लगा कर फिर काले बाल (black heads) निकालने केलिए खीची जाती हैं, वह उचित नहीं होती, क्योंकि ये त्वचा को नुक्सान पहुंचा सकती है |  काले बाल (black heads) को प्राकृतिक तरीके से निकालने केलिए कुछ लोग चहरे पर बेकिंग सोडा (baking soda), शहद (honey), नीम्बू का रस (lime juice), पानी या यहाँ तक कि खुरपा हुआ आलू (grated potato) लगाने की सलाह देते हैं |  इसको लगाने के करीब दस या पंद्रह मिनट बाद चहरा धो लें, इस विधि (method) से ज़रूर काले बाल (black heads) पिघल जायेंगे |
  • यह सुनिश्चित रहें कि चहरे को अत्यधिक साफ़ ना किया जाएँ, क्योंकि इससे चहरे पर चिकनाई बढ़कर काले बाल (black heads) की स्थिति को और बिगाड़ सकती है | ऐसा हल्का क्लेंज़र (gentle cleanser) ढूँढने की कोशिश करें जिसे चिकनी त्वचा (oily skin) केलिए रूपांतरित (designed) किया गया हो |  इसके अतिरिक्त नए काले बाल (black heads) को बनने से रोकने केलिए, मेकप (make up) निकालने के बाद चहरा धोना ना भूलें |
