For blackheads, a simple baking soda + water in paste and apply it as a mask for 2-3minutes 2x per week works well.
I wouldn't suggest tea tree oil. Manuka honey would be way better and safer and less harse and more balancing.
That said, you need to understand what your root cause is.
Hormonal?
Allergy? Food or chemical reaction to some product ie soap
Detoxification? body off or pushing a toxin
Surface skin oil imbalance?
How is your scalp? Dry? Look into doing a couple clarifying washes and maybe even a monistat treatment of your scalp incase your have a undetermined infection. Avoid any shampoos, and considering doing mainly condition only washes that have no bad stuff in it.
I suggest going the route of a gluten intolerance check diet. Not because you have a gluten intolerance but the way you go for checking is also very good for checking food intolerances.
Also, get rid off allllllll soaps and cosmetics. Use only Castil soap or even africian black soap. I would suggest oil cleansing method to balance your natural oils. Only use jojoba oil as moisturizer or sweet almond oil if you want a less expensive alternate.
