hi,
start using retino A cream 0.025% at night all over the face. it is very effective in treating blackheads. if you want a faster improvement, see a dermatologist for comedone extraction or salicylic acid peels.

balckheads are actually very early lesions of acne called comedones. are u on any other medication? are u using any creams /ointments on a regular basis? what is ur age/sex?

a salicylic acid containing face wash would help. or a non soap cleanser meant for oily skin. topical retinoids like adapelene applied after completely drying the face at night would help.
