<s>[INST] I need a foolproof way to get rid of the blackheads on my forehead. I have tried a special soap and a special face wash but nothing seems to work. I want to know of a home remedy or something to get rid of my blackheads as soon as possible. If you know a good lotion or something, please inform me. [/INST] Hello,Thank you for posting on HCM.Blackheads are basically a type of acne.Any cosmetics or medication can block the pores and cause acne.On daily basis use a retinoid like tretinoin in lower percentage like 0.12 or 0.25 at night time over full face to prevent new eruption of acne and for healthy glowing skin.Use a gentle cleanser for oily skin like cetaphil OS on regular basis.Drink plenty of water and take fresh fruits and vegetable in your diet. Hope this will take care of your issue.Wish you best of health.Thank youDr Hardik PitrodaM.D Dermatology </s>
