For starters...: You'll need your physician's help. With many blackheads, a topical retinoic acid derivative often works wonders if there area a lot of blackheads. Benzoyl peroxide plus topical Clindamycin are likely to help as well. If this is not sufficient, your physician can add a systemic antibiotic; if your trunk is not involved & acne is not cystic, this will probably be plenty.

Acne: Wash face w gentle cleanser 2x/day ; use oil free products. No oily hair or heavy foundations. Exfoliate occasionally. Try not to pop pimples. Avoid touching face (cradling chin in hands). Remove makeup before bed. Shower after strenuous exercise. Consider otc products (salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide). If > mild acne see dermatology (discuss meds, comedone extractor, pore strips, etc.).
