    okay - I really don't want to answer this question - but I do know the answer. When you squeeze the blackhead you are getting out the bacteria. When you have recurring blackhead in the same place then you probably (I am not a doctor, but I have had two of them) have a sac under the skin. So the sac will again fill up with bacteria.

    You can try any 2% over the counter salitc acid for the face at any drugstore. I don't know the names of them.

    If you are going into puberty then go see a dermatologist. Hormones cause acne, and you can learn a lot about how to treat them without scars.

    If you older then think about where you sweat. The one of your stomach may be where clothes are touching and you are getting bacteria there. Since that one has went on a long time you probably have the little acne sac. do not squeeze the one on your nose - it only makes the pore grow bigger

    wash your face twice a day, use a cleaner, a toner, and then apply any treatment spcifically to the problem area. The toner helps to shrink the opening - that was the step I always MISSED - but it helps shrink it and not allow the bacteria

    Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

    In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

    Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

    In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

    If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.
