Twice a day, apply a coating of Erythromycin Topical Solution all over your face---once in the morning, once in the evening. If you can, do it three times. That should do the trick.
The Erythromycin Topical Solution is something you can only get at the pharmacy. Get your doctor to write a prescription for it.

Here's you a couple home remedies for getting rid of blackheads:
1. Use a gentle scrub to prepare your skin and place a strip of heavy duty (like trimmed packing tape) over your nose and sides of nostrils and give it a few minutes. It's going to hurt a bit when it comes to removal but it should remove a fair amount of gunk.
2. Remove blackheads by combining 1/4 cup of very hot water and 1 teaspoon of Epsom salts with 4 drops of iodine. Mix well and let cool until warm to the touch. Dip a cotton ball and apply to the blackhead and surrounding area. When mixture is dry gently remove with a washcloth.
3. Pop the blackhead with very clean fingers then apply neosporin directly to area.
4. Grated cucumber applied over the face ,eyes and neck for fifteen minutes are very much beneficial for acne and blackheads. (LOVE THIS ONE)
5. Mash aspirin with spoon and add a little drop of water to make a paste, spread on problem areas.
6. Put toothpaste on your pimple before you go to bed, should help reduce swelling overnight. Make sure it is the paste not the gel. One of the most popular acne home remedies.
7. Wash your face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave your face oil free without aggravating the acne.
8. Apply fresh lemon juice on the affected area overnight. Wash off with warm water next morning.
9. Aloe Vera juice applied twice a day can greatly speed up the healing of acne lesions.
10. Take vitamin B5 and zinc supplements daily to strengthen the skin's resistance to acne.

The easiest (but not so funnest) way I know is using those black-head strips. You wet your nose and apply this cloth-type of strip onto your nose for about 15 minutes, then tear it off! You can find them in any drugstore like Eckerds/Walgreens/Whatever. They hurt pretty bad but they work.

Here are some basic tips I can give you,
Keep the skin as clean and oil free as possible. Use natural or chemically prepared cleansers, astringent solutions or masks to accomplish this. Avoid harsh soaps that may irritate the skin or any creams that leave an oily finish.
- Use a gentle exfoliant to keep the dead cells off your skin and away from the pore openings.
- Avoid harsh squeezing or scraping at the blackhead. Excessive squeezing can damage the skin surround the pore and can actually increase the size of the pore leading to more blackheads in the future.
- A warm compress of water applied to the area of the blackhead followed by a very, very gentle pressure can help in clearing the clog from the pore.
- Commercial “blackhead strips” which are basically a tape like substance that is placed over the nose and then pulled off will remove some blackheads that are at the surface. Caution should be used with these products and it is important to read the directions completely before deciding to use the strips or not.
Those are just some basics, but if you can, try seeing a dermatologist. They have this cream Differin, and it works wonders. It is the absolute best, it's a cream, and it'll make blackheads dissapear quick! If you can't visit one, just try those basic tips. The main thing is to keep your face CLEAN! Wash is every night, and it will help so so much!

Usually this happens because you are about to get your time of the month and your hormones are going crazy
