Blackheads are a common type of acne that appear as small, dark spots on the skin, often found on the face, especially around the nose, chin, and forehead. They can be persistent and frustrating, but with the right knowledge and treatment, you can effectively manage and prevent them.
Blackheads form when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Unlike whiteheads, which are closed, blackheads are open to the air, causing the material inside the follicle to oxidize and turn black. Despite their color, they are not caused by dirt.
