if you have way too many, yes

blackheads are sebum that oxidizes at the surface of the sebum canal
they are formed when the sebum is not smeared out over the skin, but remains in the pore; when it remains there, it will oxidize, which gives it the 'black' colour

as such, blackheads are perfectly natural; everybody has them
but, if your sebum canals are somewhat pinched off, the deportation of the sebum to the surface of the skin is slowed down, and thus the sebum will oxidize; more blackheads

so, yes, by eliminating water retention, you will also reduce the number of blackheads
