[|AI|]  Hello. Thanks for writing to us at Chat Doctor Blackheads form as a result of keratin accumulation. You may use a product like benzoyl peroxide gel, twice daily. It is keratolytic and is also commonly used for acne. Alternatively you may use glycolic acid based cream, twice daily. Glycolic acid is an exfoliant and therefore would be beneficial in this conditional vitamin A is also an option if they involve extensive areas. Vitamin A in megadoses (25000 IU to 50000 IU daily) normalizes epidermal keratinization and therefore helps in this condition. I will suggest you to visit a dermatologist. You dermatologist will assess and appropriately recommend the form of therapy best suited for you. Regards
