What is a blackhead?
fatty accumulation lodged within the skin's pores that oxidizes upon contact with air, thereby taking on a black color. These protrusions are primarily located in the T-zone of the face : on and around the nose, on the forehead, and on the chin, an area where the skin is particularly oily. They appear when the pores dilate, especially following excessive sebum production. These pores then become clogged with a mixture of sebum, impurities, and dead cells, and blackheads make their appearance. Moreover, if a blackhead becomes infected, it can develop into pimples.
