Wash his face with a mild cleanser at least twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, try Neutrogena cream cleanser for acne. Also, I'd use a toner. In most cases, blackheads are caused from not washing your face enough and it being dirty and having dirt/oil sitting.
If the condition is worse, go see a pediatrician or a dermatologist.
