What is blackhead? :-
Blackheads are small, dark spots on the skin, caused by a small blockage in the opening of a pore (follicle). They can occur in people with any skin type but mostly affect ones with oily skin. They usually form on the face especially on the nose but can also appear on the shoulders, back, neck and chest. Blackhead is also known as open comedo. Skin and hair are supplied with a substance called sebum. Sometimes this sebum secretion gets blocked and therefore it gets accumulated in the hair follicles. It also leads to accumulation of skin debris. Melanin- the pigment which gives color to the skin, which is also present in the sebum gets oxidized and turns to black color and hence causing black heads.
What causes blackheads? :-
