For the face, favour the cleaning technique wherever possible.

Multihead acne can be very difficult and painful to squeeze due to the existance of two or more white or black heads, as well as the presence of clearer fluid.

The techniques for squeezing whitehead acne also apply to multihead acne BUT they have a much greater level of pain involved, a higher level of squeezing difficulty, a higher probability of slower healing and resulting skin damage AND squeezing may well have to be repeated within a relatively short space of time, as the complexity of this acne type makes it almost impossible to get all the gunk out on the first attempts.

The washing techniques are therefore a much more preferrable course of treatment for this type of acne, for the results are usually quicker, far less physically painful and have an almost nil probability of resulting scarring - patience and perservance with cleanliness can definitely be rewarded here.
