Scientific Rx: Start with topical benzoyl peroxide. If this has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your physician. A retinoic acid derivative may be the best second rx if you have many blackheads, or there are other ideas. The oral contraceptive pill, if it is right for you, might clear you. Best wishes.

Different options: For over the counter methods try using products that have benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, alcohol, and acetone. For prescription treatments you may be prescribed antibiotics, retinoids or vitamin a derivatives, azelaic acid, oral contraceptives, or spironolactone. Target has a product made by "boots" which works really well.
