I have blackheads on my nose, does anyone know any effective ways to remove them? My parents literally wont let me do anything to get rod of them because "it's no big deal". No matter how many mature conversations I have they won't listen to me. So no doctor, or buying meds or products.

Also, I have other small black dots on my face and they're definitely not blackheads. Anytime know what they are? It kids looks like someone took a marker and dotted on my face.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

Also sorry for any spelling errors I typed this on my phone and didn't proofread.

The small black dots might be open pores.
If you don't have access to any cleansing product, the best advice i can give you is to was your face thoroughly every morning and evening. I know it's not much to go on but I hope this helps :)

You don't need meds for blackheads. Blackheads are a buildup of dirt and bacteria in your pores so they can be easily dealt with by washing your face better and buying a proper cleansing product. Even something simple like Spectro Gel I think it's called. There are wipes you can get meant for blackheads or little sticky strips to clean them. But if you can't buy anything, just take a facecloth and gently scrub at the affected areas so you're cleaning a bit deeper than just the surface. Use a gentle soap and warm water. Too harsh a soap and it will just irritate your skin.

Also, without knowing exactly what you mean, they could be moles. Are they something like this (http://www.lifeonthemoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/mole-on-face.png)? They can be darker depending on your skin tone. I have a ton of them on my face. And I don't mean freckles, because those are typically smaller and paler. Moles can be small or large but they're typically much darker and a more solid colour.

You can try homemade remedies for cleaning pores, you don't have to go out and buy specialty products. Just look it up on Pinterest or Google.

Also, if you're that type of person takes touches their face, try to keep from touching it with your hands. It just makes it more dirty.

That is a bad thing to do. It might get rid of them but it will lead to scaring which is worse

Not really with blackheads. They aren't completely clogged like pimples.

Washing your face twice daily should remove excess oils that build up which usually cause blackheads and pimples to develop.
Me saying that, I do have mild acne and have blackheads on my nose. I better use moisturiser and wash my face twice a day too >.<
