Brief Answer:
Regarding blackheads and mole(? Dysplastic nevus)

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the images.

The large black spot on back is most likely a mole which looks quite big and could be a dysplastic nevus therefore I would suggest a biopsy. Apart from it, yes I can see lot of blackheads on your back. For them, I would suggest you to use a benzoyl peroxide body wash as it is exfoliating and drying. I would also suggest oral isotretinoin for an extensive area of involvement like back, shoulder and chest. It is a prescription medication.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
