    Go for a facial. Even if you're a guy! They will get all of them out, give your skin a good cleaning and will recommend the best products to use for your skin type. x

    Contrary to many beliefs, "blackheads" are not just dirt, per se. These are a result of overactive glands and hormones. When pores release certain substances, sweat and oils as examples, sometimes the same pores get "clogged" and as a result black spots do appear just beneath the skin.

    Daily care is important. Washing one's face before bed is important to wash away oils and dirt. This is also important to prevent infection. A well-balanced diet with regular intake of vitamins C and A helps a lot. Excessive sun exposure should be avoided. Stress should be in check. Exercise. Avoid fatty food.

    Speaking of infection, I would go to a GP just to have my skin checked. This is just to avoid infection and other more worrying consequences of blackheads. Have you had these before? What about acne, pimples? Some patients need to be checked by the GP so proper diagnosis is extended to the patient. Some are prescribed antibiotics to keep the swelling down; some pores are cleaned as a regular procedure; some are given hormones to keep the balance of hormonal levels in check. You should consult a doctor to give yourself a peace of mind.

    Best wishes!
