That could be fairly normal and could be possible (a picture would definitively help to be more precise and you can upload it by requesting a consultation ). I would suggest not squeeze them, as it could create inflammation and eventually it could get infected. Monitor it and keep the area clean for the next 3-4 days.

That is nothing serious and is usually due to the presence of comedones (blackheads). It is not usually related to any disease itself. Usually normal cleaning and any product with Benzoyl peroxide inside can get easily get rid of them (it is not necessary though). Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
