Your blackheads should clear up after about 4-8 weeks of home care. However, they may persist in some cases. If this happens to you, your dermatologist can prescribe a more powerful treatment to help clear your skin. They may also recommend getting an extraction. Talk to your dermatologist to decide what's best for you. For instance, your dermatologist may prescribe hormonal birth control or spironolactone to help balance your hormones if topical treatments don't clear your blackheads. Cleansers and creams that contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide can also help clean your pores. Additionally, benzoyl peroxide kills bacteria. These treatments are usually effective for clearing blackheads. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you need help picking the right product for you. You can also buy pore strips over-the-counter to help remove the blackheads. If other treatments aren't working and you don't want to use a comedone extractor yourself, schedule an appointment with your dermatologist to do it for you. They will inject your blemishes with corticosteroids to help reduce the risk of scarring before using a comedone extractor to remove them. Blackheads alone typically respond to natural or over-the-counter treatments. However, you may need additional treatments if you also have other types of acne, like whiteheads or pimples. Your dermatologist can offer you creams or medications to help clear your skin. Your dermatologist may give you prescription-strength acne cleansers and creams. If you have cystic acne, you may need an antibiotic to help clear your skin. You may need to take hormonal birth control or spironolactone if your acne and blackheads are caused by hormonal fluctuations.

One-sentence summary -- Consult a dermatologist if your blackheads don't go away. Ask about over-the-counter treatments for stubborn blackheads. Get your blackheads extracted professionally if they bother you. Check with your doctor if you have moderate-to-severe acne, as well.

If the woman seems to generally appreciate women, including their sex appeal, there is a chance she is bisexual. Does she always notice other people's looks and comment on them in a sexualized way? As with every potential clue, it's possible she is just admiring another woman without having a sexual attraction to her. After all, women are constantly scrutinizing other women's appearances. However, if she repeatedly openly admires another woman's sex appeal, maybe she is open to more. This is not an uncommon phenomenon. Although it's getting easier, it can be hard for people to admit they are bisexual to families and friends or even themselves. Go with your intuition. Sometimes you just get a vibe. You generally know when someone seems attracted to you or someone else, right? Sometimes intuition can mean more than words. Some studies have found that up to 60 percent of women are attracted to other women, so it's not that rare. Whether they will act on it might be another story. Society encourages women to develop emotional closeness to one another. For some, this can spill over into attraction. Realize that sexuality can be very fluid. Studies have found that women define their sexuality more ambiguously as they age. The tricky part is that many platonic female relationships mirror romantic relationships because they are built on sharing intimate details and talking about personal issues for hours on end. Is she always trying to strike up a conversation with you or another woman? Does she try to sit next to the woman at meetings? These could be signs of interest. If she goes out of the way to interact with another woman in ways a partner would, that's a sign. Does she show up at the other woman's soccer games or head to the bar when she hears the woman is there? Does she try to arrange things where it's just for two? Is she always texting, emailing or calling, and not to talk about guys? This could be a sign that she is trying to get closer. Although some women in relationships with men discover they are really bisexual, if she seems to have no man in her life, that's also a sign she could be bisexual. Although, just because she doesn't have a man doesn't always mean she is bisexual or a lesbian. It could just mean she isn't dating. This is especially true if she seems like she has never had a man in her life in a romantic sense. Inquire about past romantic relationships that were serious. Check out her social media. Does she post pictures of herself with only male friends and a lot of females? Does she seem to be surrounded by women a lot who aren't relatives? What's her body language like around them? All of these could be signs.

Your USB flash drive should plug into one of the rectangular or oval USB or USB-C ports on your computer's housing. Traditional flash drives only fit one way, so don't force the drive if it doesn't fit. If your Mac uses USB-C ports, your USB-C flash drive should fit any way in which you insert it. The USB flash drive should be at least 8 gigabytes in space so that it can accommodate most operating system installation files. If you want to create a bootable USB drive on a Mac, you'll need to have an ISO file (or an image file, if you're backing up your computer's hard drive) ready to drag and drop into Terminal. This is different than how Windows handles bootable flash drives, since you can make a flash drive bootable and then save it for later when using Windows. Click the magnifying glass icon in the top-right corner of the screen. A search bar will appear. This will search your Mac for the Terminal application. It's a black box in the middle of the Spotlight search results. Doing so will open Terminal. Type diskutil list into Terminal, then press Return. Look for the USB drive that you plugged into your computer, then look at the USB drive's name under the "IDENTIFIER" heading. You'll usually find your USB drive under the "(external, physical)" heading near the bottom of the Terminal window. Your USB flash drive's name under the "IDENTIFIER" heading will normally be something like "disk1" or "disk2". Type diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disknumbermaking sure to replace "disknumber" with the disk's "IDENTIFIER" name and number (e.g., disk2)into Terminal, then press Return. Type in sudo dd if= but don't press the Return key just yet. Click and drag the ISO file (or disk image file) that you want to boot into using the USB drive into the Terminal window. This will copy the file's address into the Terminal command. You can also type in the folder path to the ISO file. This will put a space at the end of the file's address, making room for the next command. Type in of=/dev/disknumber bs=1m, again making sure to replace "disknumber" with the USB flash drive's number (e.g., disk2), and press Return. This is the password that you use to log into your Mac. As you type, you'll notice that the letters don't appear in Terminal; this is normal. Doing so submits your password and prompts your Mac to begin creating a bootable USB flash drive with your selected ISO or image file. This process can take several hours to complete, so just leave Terminal open and your Mac plugged in.
