Answer
Unfortunately, I have no idea what is available to you, and I don't know what a "stop" is due to our slight language differences.

I would get some advice from a veterinarian, if you haven't already, and I would wipe her down daily with Listerine mouthwash. I would also investigate other dog foods and maybe experiment with different things, such as making her diet as grain-free as possible.

Here is a UK website that talks about acne and blackheads (in people) and it might have some useful information for you in regard to products to try, etc. http://hcd2.bupa.co.uk/fact_sheets/html/acne.html  It sounds like something with benzoyl peroxide in it would be your best bet.

Please note some of the causes of acne/blackheads as some might apply to your dog.
