Blackheads are simply pores clogged with oil and sebum [ wax produced by skin ], since they remain open to air, they get a bit of dirt - thus the blackhead.
1] buy some facewash, toner, sunscreen, and moisturizer for her skin type. She should wash, tone, and sunscreen in AM, and wash, tone, and maybe moisturize in PM
2] get Aapri or St Ives apricot scrub - she should exfoliate every two days til skin improves
3] get some Biore pore strips. Read directions first, and use after a nice hot shower [ steam will open up pores ]. Then apply the strips according to instructions.
4] after strip is removed, use Toner only - no lotions or potions. Give pores a chance to heal and close
5] use wash and toner only for two days
6] get some acne cream or gel to dab on her nose in daytime to absorb some oil
7] keep baby wipes or acne pads in PE locker to clean face after sweating
8] when she starts to wear makeup, besure she buys non- comedogenic products - they say so on packaging
9] cornsilk powder is excellent for absorbing oil on noses!
I have been using it for 37 years - no blackheads!
10] diet may help- avoid all fried, fast, and junk food - even diet junk food
11] a multivitamin with minerals every day
12] drink 1/2 gallon of water a day

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.

You must read the Battle Plan For Getting Rid of Blackheads. A product with salicylic acid (a BHA) will help.

Hi,
I am a dermatologist by profession and within a careeer of 10 years I have seen lots of acnee problems. According to me Red and white pimpless are the worst and painful. Acneprone skin is very sensitive, even if you touch it once the redness will increase with itching. According to me there is no magical way to heal your pimmples over night as this is the puffed part of your skin due to the bacteria.

In simple words try to improve your diet and have lots of water that helps in healingg process. Un-necessary oily food should be avoided to get a healthy spotless skin.

ouch, i can see how that could be hard.
the easiest way is to just pop them and then put acne medicine on them at nights for about a week afterward so the redness goes down.
have her wash her face EVERY night/day with a combination face wash/acne medicine.
it hurts a little but it's a lot less ugly.
[i had one under my nose a few days ago and i popped it and now it looks a lot better.]
good luck! (:

you're really sweet about this. have you tried the biore nose pore strips? you should, it sets in deep into the pores to remove them. if not, lightly poke the blackheads with a clean sewing needle and try to squeeze it out. i know it'll hurt but in the end, it'll be gone. and after squeezing them out, be sure to have her wash her face and use toner & a non-comodemic (won't clog pores) moisturizer so it won't clog her pores again.

Pop them and the black will come out with no blemish. They are easier and faster to get rid of than whiteheads if you pop them. Or go to the dermatologist like I did and have them take them out.

this what i did. i went to a spa and had a facial. the lady there did a good job and picked my black head out, but at first it turned into a pink bump, and it took 2 weeks to look normal again.
