Scrubbing: Blackheads (come drones) are collections of dirt and glandular secretion that gets caught in gland opening. Scrubbing with soapy water and terry cloth helps. Go to the pharmacy and ask for a come done extractor to remove them.

Steam and express: Gently warm and moisten the area with a heated moist hand towel for 10 minutes. Then use either slight pressure from 2 fingers or 2 q-tips in a rocking motion to gently express the contents. A purchased comedone extractor may be used, a small round end of a paper clip may also work in a gentle rocking motion. Sometimes the skin will need to opened slightly, this should only be done by your doc!
