Breakouts/ Blackheads

Blackheads are tiny bumps that develop on the skin when hair follicles become clogged. This occurs when dead skin cells and oils accumulate within the follicle, resulting in the formation of a bump known as a comedone. When the skin over the bump remains closed, it is referred to as a whitehead. However, if the skin opens up, exposure to the air causes it to darken, resulting in the formation of a blackhead. While blackheads and whiteheads are mild forms of acne commonly found on the face, they can also occur on other parts of the body.
