While this is an urban legend, it is possible to cause an infection in the skin with the use of a blackhead extractor. It is very rare but possible for an infection on your nose or face to make it to the brain. The risk of a skin infection with the proper use of this equipment is vary minor and the risk of it spreading to the brain is almost all but impossible.
It is good advice to learn to use your extractor correctly. Do not over do it when trying to remove a blackhead, this is where skin damage can happen. If you ever cause bleeding treat it with a topic antibiotic.
Treat any infection seriously no matter what the cause. If you see it spreading see a doctor immediately. Spreading can be seen as streaks (red or white) moving away from the wound or redness increasing around the area.
