Dear TeenHealthFX,

What is a good way to get rid of black heads? Those little pore strip things don't work!!!

Dear Zapping Blackheads,

 

Acne is a frustrating skin condition that affects teens and some adults. It can be a very persistent and annoying problem.

FX has answered several questions on proper skin care see No More Zits and Oily Face.

 

In addition to taking care of your skin, you should also talk with your doctor. He or she may treat the acne with more powerful (prescription strength) medication or may refer you to a dermatologist - a doctor who specializes in treating the skin.
