Blackheads
I have asked a question on here before about this, but I have blackheads on my nose, and I have tried the biore nose strips, but they didn't work. I have tried them several times, and have made sure I have used them properly. I've also tried to use a DIY scrub with nutmeg and a little bit of milk, that didn't really work either. Are there any suggestions on what will get rid of these black heads?? Thanks!

Heredity and hormones are the main contributing factors and there is not likely to be a quick & easy fix...
In addition to what's already been said regarding treatments, be careful of your diet.
You'll want to avoid things that aggravate the problem (greasy fried foods, chocolate) and try to get more vegetables and fruits that will help with the overall balance of your body systems.
Lastly, in support of your Internet research, I had a friend as a kid who would boil/simmer water and put his head over the pot to steam his skin.
I'm not sure of the exact process beyond that, but he said that it made the cleaning and scrubs that he used more effective.

These home remedies generally do not work. What you have is oily skin and your pores get clogged/. If an over the counter medication is not working then you may need something stronger.
I would suggest you see a dermatologist. Let the doctor examine the blackheads and make sure that they are what they appear to be. The doctor then can write you a prescription for a stronger medication and what cleansers to use to dry up the oil.
IF you have Health Insurance this type of doctor may be covered under your insurance. Depending on the type of health insurance, such as an HMO type coverage, you have you may need a referral from your family doctor.
