Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

For the scars, try a treatment of microdemabrasion. It only takes the top layer of skin and allows it to heal before the next treatment. Follow-up with a good skin care product to nurture and feed the cells. Blackheads, yuck Steam is great to open the poors on the face. Establish a good consistant (ie. 2-3 x's wk) pattern for great results. Follow up with a good cleanser and toner (to close the pours) and moisturize. Stay away from anything oily or greasy. Mostly do not use a product to dry your skin out this will only excrete more oils and your problem will be worse. Also use a scrub weekly in addition to your cleaning and you could use Biori strips on the nose once a week but not while your scrubing and steaming. Use on the off days. Good luck

Acne scars there is a cream called 'Fade Out' and you can get it from the chemist. Another thing to do would be to have a chemical peel from a reputable place. Vitamin E oil is great for scars, try getting them in vitamin form, piercing it with a pin and putting the oil on the scars.
For blackheads steam your face over a bowl of boiling water and a towel over your head as you lean over the bowl, for about 10-15 minutes. This opens your pores. Then, get a facial scrub cream and exfoliate gently. Then, get a mudd mask (boots, sainsbury's or tesco's etc) and leave this on. After rinsing off, put cold water on your face to close pores again, and moisturise. If you still have trouble, for about 30-40 pounds, go for a facial where beauticians will sort this out for you. I have heard that rubbing a raw potato on your blackheads get this out too, look it up or try it!

Good hygiene, eating healthy and low stress should keep acne away. Try some great OTC products like Niapads, Cetaphil etc. Remember, the most effective treatment is one that is simple to use. For eg. cut a piece of Niapads, moisten it with water and place it on the yet to come to surface acne. Active ingredients penetrate skin and get rid of acne bacteria. Routine use of Niapads helps exfoliate, open clogged skin pores and gets rid of acne in one simple step without drying your skin. Contains Lavender oil – well known moisturizer.

For acne scars, I've used products from 30glycolic. They're skin peels you do yourself at home. Start with a 10 percent kit until your skin gets use to it. then if needed you can move up to a stronger peel. One thing you can do to help prevent more blackheads is to put some peroxide instead of bleach in when you wash your pillow cases. And change your pillow cases daily. You can also use it to wash your face, A bottle of 3 percent peroxide cost around 3 or 4 dollars in the store.

An extremely professional facial course and treatment with expensive lotions and potions. Microdermebrasion can then help heal the scars....Research local beauty therapists with a great reputation. Its the only way. Don't trust just any body, they can make it worse. It's worth the investment as its the only skin you get for the rest of your life. All these home made recipes are for minor disorders. From what you have described its much more severe and needs professional treatment, so as not to scar any more.

You can buy patches which are applied to a wet nose, when the patch dries (Usually 10 mins) lift the patch along with the blackheads. Works very very well.

i have never tried this, but i was given these advice on blackheads:
-pour a little bit of white vinegar on a cotton and delicately rub the area where the blackheads are, then wash with cold water.
-get a bit of natural yogurt (no sugar or anything, plain yogur) and mix it with a smashed aspirin (not efervescent, but a normal one) and massage the area with the mixture.
