I am having a seriously problem with blackheads and pimples lately. I am getting a rush of pimples on my forehead and temple area (I used to have them really bad in the cheeks area, they are gone now but not without leaving some scars) Also I have some serious issues with blackheads in my nose. (ALOT!) Can anyone help with something to do to get rid of these things? Its driving me crazy!

Tip on removing blackheads: Combine 1/4 cup boiling water with one teaspoon of Epsom salt and three drops of iodine. Let mixture cool until it's comfortable to the touch. Saturate a cotton ball with this mixture and dab on blackheads. This will allow them to loosen so they can be easily squeezed with a gauze pad.

You may want to consult a dermatologist. There are a lot of products in the market nowadays but the results may vary per person. Each person have different skin types and the best way to treat your skin problems is to have a check-up from a certified dermatologist. As much as I want to provide you with a list of products I've used, that I find quite effective, I'm afraid you might have a skin reaction since such products have a strong formulation, most specially if your skin is very sensitive. Trying out new products might just aggravate your skin problem. Contact a dermatologist and I'm sure he/she will be able to advise you with the best medication suited for your skin type and will help you achieve and maintain a clear and blemish-free skin. Believe me, the doctor knows best.
