Deep cleansing: Black heads can be a problem. Basic treatment includes deep cleansing... Killing bacteria and decreasing sebum production. Either you primary care provider or dermatologist can treat this initially... Other options down the road include laser treatments, . Ipl ( intense pulsed light ) treatments and photodynamic acne therapy.. But you need to first go through the initial steps.
