A member asked:
Why do i still have blackheads and acne at my age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Patients have been asking me that question for 40 years - and there is no real answer, other than that the oil glands on your face occlude easily, which is what causes blackheads. It's not your fault - you are not washing incorrectly or eating the wrong foods. A dermatologist can prescribe tretinoin or other medications to keep your blackheads under control.
