Blackheads, the small dark spots on your skin, are also known as ‘open comedones,' whereas whiteheads are ‘closed comedones.' Blackheads are, in fact blocked pores that become filled with keratin, skin debris, and sebum, your body's natural oil. This marks the first stage of pimples or acne formation.
Although they aren't an actual health threat, blackheads can be quite annoying since they appear on the most noticeable part of your body — your face. Generally, they appear on the nose, which can be really unattractive. So, if you want to get rid of this pesky skin issue, it's important to know how to deal with it safely and quickly.
