Blackhead Whiteheads - How to get rid of blackhead and whiteheads

Blackhead and whiteheads are very common skin problems faced by many people. This site provides you complete information on blackhead and whiteheads. Let's discuss them one by one -

Blackhead

Blackheads, also known as open comedones, are follicles that have a wider than normal opening. They are filled with plugs of sebum and sloughed off cells and have undergone a chemical reaction resulting in the oxidation of melanin. This gives the material in the follicle the typical black color. Blackheads are the superficial plugs that form on the natural part of your skin pores.

Blackheads are caused by the over activity of the oil producing glands of the skin. The excess oil collects in the pores of the skin and hardens into a plug. Since the pores are open, the tip of the clogged oil is exposed to the air. It oxidizes and turns black. Hence, the name blackhead.

It is essential to keep the skin free of blackheads. Not only does it look unsightly, but, can also lead to acne. The control of blackhead is one way of preventing acne.

Whiteheads

Whiteheads, also known as closed comedones, are follicles that are filled with the same material, but have only a microscopic opening to the skin surface. Since the air cannot reach the follicle, the material is not oxidized (in other words pores are open), and remains white. Like blackhead, whiteheads are caused by the accumulation of hardened sebum or oil, in the pores of the skin. The difference is that in areas where the skin is fine and delicate, the clogged sebum is not exposed to the air.

The whiteheads appear in the form of tiny, pearly white raised spots. They are common in the area just above the cheekbones, where the skin is fine. On oily skins, blackhead and whiteheads may appear as part of a 'problem skin condition', along with pimples and acne.
