I have these black spots that look like moulds but really aren't. They are just all over my face and make me look so horrible. I need some advice because they seem to be spreading....

If they are blackheads they could look really big because your pores are very large?
First I did a search for 'blackheads' and found a lot of advertising. After a while I've learned some of my preferences, I like http://www.WebMd.com/ for medical, body, symptoms, etc. Good to Bookmark.
Seems they have to use advertising too ... Great site though. Advertising up top...so scan down for articles et al.
Here is one of the Articles I found that cover basic treatments and it includes guys too...imagine that.
Always, always. KEEP it SIMPLE. BASIC is GOOD. Stuff you have in the house, maybe you have to run to the store. No big deals.
Use viniger, oatmeal, avacados, olive oil, lemon, scin scrubs, and more. (These are normal ingrediants for oily and/or mixed t-zones that I know. ) I would clean my face and hang my head over a pot of steaming hot water (not too hot cause you can burn your face), and wrap a towel around my head to stop the steam from escaping. After rinsing your face with warm water and clean, then cool water.
Then use a mask. Keep it with your skin type. Oily you want to kind of dry it out. Do some research or ask a question if you have a different skin type.
Then, no alcohol or anything harsh, use hydrogen peroxide if you have to. Then a light cream. THIS IS WHAT I learned over the years. I still have blackheads, pimples, facial hair et al, but my skin looks younger than others with different skin types. Its the oil...keeps you young. Like olive oil. lol
Don't spend a lot of money. Look at the ingrediants...they're all basically the same.
That is...If they are blackheads and you have oily to normal type skin. Do more research. THIS GIRLS RIGHT ON LIVEWITHO (see above) ---drink lots of water!!!!!!!! (http://answers.yahoo.com/my/profile;_ylt=AstCiw7bCUm3_03uBHs7ZpUezKIX?show=AA11260284)
But, if your blackheads look like these...you need big time help: http://www.ristoklint.com/ristoons-1/pictures/blackheads.htm

Tips to Remove blackheads
When the pores close with the sebum content on the surface and bulge out, it is a whitehead and if the oil gets rusted due to the opened pores you will notice a black colored swelling which is called as blackhead. For non-inflammatory kind of acne, just a few blackheads or whiteheads will appear on the skin crust. They are simple in nature and do not require a physician’s prescription. If you come across blackheads you can use Retin-A, which is an effective remedy. Majority of the people face this problem.
You can find blackheads on your nose, chin or forehead. Removing a blackhead is a difficult task and its frustrating.Given below are a few tips to remove blackheads:·
Do not use harsh soaps or lotions, which could the face oily.
Use cleansers and try to keep the skin less oily.
Try to keep the dead cells away from the skin, by cleaning your face.
Do not squeeze the blackheads. Too much squeezing could damage the skin and make the pores large.
Applying warm water on the face and gently putting pressure with a little cotton could clear the clogs.
You can use “blackhead strips” which are available in the markets. These strips only remove the upper portion on the blackheads and not its root.

If there is a local health club with a steam room, see if you can get a day pass, and then sit in there as long as you can, and, after you're done, either jump into a cool swimming pool, or cool your face off with a shower or at the sink. Repeat the process about two or three times. The steam room opens the pores to get the oil and tokens out of them, and by cooling off the skin quickly, it closes the pores, to prevent the toxins and oils from reentering. If you do not have this option, then get water as warm as your skin can take it, and then pour it on a washcloth, and then hold the cloth up against your face for as long as you can. Then cool your face off with water, and repeat the process about four or five times. I had the simliar problem when I was a a young teenager, so I can feel for what you are going through. No matter what, do not let anyone talk you into letting them pop them, because, not only is it painful, but it also leaves marks, as well as spreading the infection.

I don't know how to cure them, but whatever you do don't open your pores further by using apricot scrub or those strips that go on wet and dry. And avoid proactive too -- it ruined my face! Seriously. It made my skin so bad and irritated it so much and now I have acne all over my face and blackheads all over my face instead of a little bit of acne on my chin because of a prescription I was taking. The prescription didn't damage my face. I've heard bad things about pore scrubbers and proactive and now I believe too.

If you can afford it, see a dermatologist, or...
Try Proactive or Acne Free (available at Walmart). or if not that either...
Drink a ton of water a day and use St. Ives Medicated Apricot Scrub as directed.
P.S. Drink a ton of water anyway - keep a bottle with you all the time.
