Removing a Whitehead spot on Shabbos

Question:

Dear Rabbi
On Shabbos, if one has a whitehead spot (a covering of white over a red spot), could one gently remove the white with a tissue if there will be no bleeding involved?

Answer:

One is allowed to squeeze a white head on Shabbos if one is careful not to squeeze fresh blood.
