Facial first: Get a facial first or consider investing in and learning how to use a comedone extractor but medications such as retinoids or salicylic acid may be beneficial to diminish recurrences. For this, seek the advice of a dermatologist.

Blackhead treatment: Blackheads are a form of acne and respond to treatment with benzoyl peroxide washes or creams, tretinoin and other prescription retinoid creams and sulphur containing topical medications. It takes time for blackheads to improve with these meds. However squeezing it out increases the inflammation in the area and the risk of scarring.

Extractor.: Don't pick. A comedone extractor is a simple tool with a wire loop. The loop can be gently pressed on a comedone to express the contents. Don't slide or push hard or it can damage the skin.
