In the case where you do not have a colored image to begin with, here are some tips:
PP uses color to help find skin, so if you are using a black and white image that is more likely to go wrong: so make sure the skin selection is ok by using "View/Edit Skin Area" (in v10).
PP also uses color a lot in the spot detector, so it's worth playing with different values of that to see if it's useful or if turning it off and using the touch-up brush is better.
Apart from that everything else should work similarly to how it does in the colored case. The occasional slider (like blemishes) works on color, so don't be surprised if some sliders have no affect on black and white images.
Hope that's more helpful!
