Well First of all stop picking cuz what your doing is when you are picking at your face you are also transmitting oils from your fingers to your face. Black heads can be cleared up by just simply washing your face everymorning and night. If you have a dry face lots of oils collect at night. Moisturize your face with a non greasy non oily moisturizer!

First of all...stop picking them. It just gives you scars. Most (not all)acne comes from inside you. YOu have to keep a daily record of what you eat (I mean everything) & how many outbreaks you get (days & Amounts). My son has REAL BAD acne & he's 16. I had him do the same thing about recording everything he ate, & he figured out that peanut butter, milk, & chocolate caused him more outbreaks. All those topical solvents can damage your skin after years of use. Just stay away from what causes most of yoru breakouts, wash your face at least 3 times a day with soap to keep the grease out of your pores & try a Noxzema mask at night before bed. I have the same prob with the big pores. Noxzema will close them up a little but you might want to try a cold wash cloth on your face to help close them. I'm 32 & i still get the little white heads & BIG black heads. JUST DON"T PICK THEM!! I used to & it really f'ed up my face with a lot of craters.

Been there...it may be Rosacia, especially if you have a tendency to blush easily or your face just looks red or wind-burned. The deretologist put me on a prescription that was basically a topical antibiotic (like Benedryl). I used that for a few days to get rid of it initially, then I also kept an eye on food triggers...when it flairs up, I just put antibiotic ointment on it for a few days (I can't do anything about avoiding heat & humidity - so I just live with it). Keep the skin moisturized and clean.
