How To Get Rid Of Blackhead On The Arm?

I have an inverted blackhead on my upper arm. When I run my finger over it the amount of pus or whatever it is feels solid & quite large to me. It s too large for me to take care of this on my own. What kind of Dr would remove this for me? Would they numb the area?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi. I think its truncal acne. Consult a Dermatologist for its treatment. Meanwhile, you can try benzoyl peroxide 10% and sulphur containing cream (eg Persol Forte cream). You need to apply it once daily after bath. Apply small amount only to the affected area and dont rub it.
Hope it helps
