Blackhead / Whiteheads
Struggling with blackheads and whiteheads even after using various cosmetic products? Consider aesthetic treatments for a better solution.
What are Blackheads and Whiteheads?
Blackheads and whiteheads occur when sebum clogs pores, forming a plug. The exposed plug turns black and becomes a blackhead, while hidden plugs appear white and are whiteheads.
Whiteheads
Whiteheads are small white tips that can be found on the skin, usually on the nose, forehead, and chin where the glands are active.
Blackheads
Blackheads are caused by sebum clogging in the pores due to inadequate cleansing. The accumulated sebum oxidizes and turns black. If left unchecked, the blackheads can grow bigger and harder, making them harder to remove.
Causes
Poor face cleaning can lead to clogged pores and the development of blackheads and whiteheads. Using rich skincare products without proper cleansing can also contribute to this issue. Overactive sebum secretion can cause whiteheads even with proper cleansing.
Symptoms
Blackheads are plugged pores with black or brown material that is exposed to air. They can make your skin feel rough and hard, and if you have blackheads, your skin is likely oily. There are three types of blackheads that are common.
Real blackheads
This blackhead is bigger and feels bumpy. It can be squeezed to release sebum.
Vellus hair-type blackheads
The Vellus hair-type blackhead is a rare type of blackhead found in less than 5% of the population. It usually appears near the nose or in front of the ear and feels prickly. Small black hairs grow inside, and hair removal or photorejuvenation therapies are recommended for treatment.
Sebum filament-type blackheads
Blackheads with a black, smooth surface have enlarged pores because of excess sebum buildup. They are hard to remove but squeezing them may release small filament-like sebum.
