Extraction: Visit a dermatologist to get these extracted if you want a faster treatment. Your dermatologist can give you a night cream (tretinoin) to help treat and prevent these.

Wash vigorously: Keep skin clean and dry with aggressive washing. You can purchase a comedone extractor at any pharmacy to remove the ones you have.
