Hi and sorry to hear about what your daughter has.

I am not exactly sure of what you call blackhead. It can mean so many different things that i will not really want to start listing.

I think it would be best for you to visit a doctor who will examine and tell for sure what skin lesion it is and what the way forward is.

Hope this helps and please do come back more often for your health worries.
Wish your daughter a good health.
