Hello,
If there is cyst infection or block may lead to formation of black heads repeatedly. It may need complete removal of sebum from the sebaceous cyst. Along with that need to start antibiotics. Please use Clindamycin gel local application twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult with your dermatologist she will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
