Self-care
Self-care options include acne products available without a prescription. These help dry excess oil and promote peeling. A gentle cleanser and oil-free moisturizer also may help.
When to seek immediate medical care
Seek emergency help if:
- A skin care product causes faintness, difficulty breathing, tightness of the throat, or swelling of the eyes, face, lips, or tongue.
When to make a doctor's appointment
See a healthcare professional if:
- Self-care steps don't clear up blackheads.
