A bit gross - anyone know how to get rid of blackheads in an ear?

Poor Katie has three blackheads just inside her ear - in the start of the canal bit iygwim

It's gross and I don't know how to get rid. Everything I've tried so far is too sore.

Any ideas? They've been there for a while, started off as one and is getting worse.

No idea hun but Oliver has a couple & I've just left them as they're not bothering him & don't want to hurt him getting them out for the sake of it. I'm hoping they'll work themselves out. (sorry no help I know)

I would leave them, blackheads usually start to work their own way out and then you might be able to get rid without it being too sore for her iykwim? So I would wait till they're a bit more ripe

Poor Katie, hope they don't get painful for her xx

If they're not bothering her just leave them babe, if you squeeze at them you run the risk of them getting infected and turning into nasty spots.

If you really can't leave them alone buy some tea tree oil put some on acotton bud and wipe over the blackheads

As she isn't bothered by them, like the others said, I would leave them alone for now, or as Bubba said, just dab some teatree on them. Bless her! x
