Blackheads

mineaderm

Blackheads (comedones) are small and common skin lesions that form when skin pores become clogged with oil (sebum) and dead skin cells. They turn black when the upper part comes into contact with the air and oxidizes. They most commonly appear in areas with high oil secretion, such as the nose, forehead, and chin. When the accumulated contents within the pores are exposed, melanin and oil oxidize due to the air, resulting in a darker color. Blackheads are often the first sign of acne-prone skin and can disrupt skin smoothness and be aesthetically unsightly. Proper cleansing, regular care, and the use of skin-friendly products can reduce the occurrence of blackheads and promote a healthy complexion.
