Typically : Typically for blackheads, a retinoid medication is used (such as differin (adapalene) or retin-a). Read more about acne, including the treatment options and simple tips, on the link below. As for the scars, it depends on the depth and width of the scars. Options might include laser, chemical peels, or dermabrasion. I hope that helps.
