Clogged pores: try the highest strength benzoyl peroxide and use the clindamycin / benzoyl combination. You apply the combo on the face. You can clean with Alcohol as well. You could also get accutane but you have to get a doctor visit.

Sounds like "blackhe: Sounds like "blackheads", more precisely open comedones. Forget what you thought you knew about "pores". These are plugs in enlarged oil glands containing sebum which is dark on exposure to air. The best treatment is adapalene or tretinoin topical, which needs a few weeks for the skin to tolerate it and a few months to achieve results. It is OK to squeeze them out. Squeezing does not cause scar
