It is very difficult to diagnose skin changes on the basis of description only. SKIN CHANGES HAVE TO BE SEEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. “White heads and small blackheads” could be acne, but they are not typical for your age(31). If they are acne, facial cleaner is useful. A dermatologist can offer you precise diagnose and proper therapy.
