Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This is typical acne with blackheads or comedones. I would advise using acne soaps containing Benzoyl peroxide once daily in the morning, and start applying Clindamycin 5% cream or gel to the affected area after washing your face in the morning.

For soap and gel, ask pharmacists, as they come in different brands in different countries. I just mentioned the contents. Also, these blackheads will get better soon if you just get them removed manually.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
