Treatments: I would recommend trying to increase cell turnover via retinol or retinol palmitate. It will make you peel a bit, and you will need to use sunblock during the day. Also, you may want to see a dermatologist about other treatment options. Consider retinol es from "cosmo grade professional skincare".

Scientific Rx: Dr. Perez and i agree. With many blackheads, a retinoic acid derivative is the best start; our correspondent's personal physician might add topical Clindamycin as a next step prior to a dermatology referral. Good old benzoyl peroxide is another possibility. If we don't have good results in 4 weeks, some primary care physicians are comfortable writing for a systemic antibiotic like tetracycline.
