Welcome to Android Central! What phone do you have? Is it only turning black when it is up against your ear? This is normal--the proximity sensor detects it's near something (i.e., your ear), and turns the screen off while you're on a call, so that your ear doesn't accidentally press any buttons. Or are you on speakerphone, and the screen is still blacking out?
