Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Acne is age related and usually subsides by 25-28 years of age.
To control blackheads and whiteheads, you can use a salicylic acid containing face wash. Undergo comes one extraction procedure at 4-6 weeks interval by your dermatologist. Use a adapelene or tretinoin containing gel at bedtime.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
