Do pretty much what you're doing, just let it grow and when it bugs you enough, hold a hot washcloth over it to loosen up the skin and gently squeeze to see if it wants to let loose. If on the third squeeze you're not getting anywhere give up and wait a few days. If you do get something, don't try to force it all out if it starts to sting. Leave it for an hour and you will probably get a little bit more out of it. Then immediately clean the area with rubbing alcohol, not peroxide.

The idea is to clear out the dead crap, but not to cause any more damage than has already been done.

They can be removed permanently by surgery, but it gets expensive real quick.
