Acne Blackheads

Acne blackheads are formed just like any other type of acne but it’s the size and color that determine it’s type.

So How Do Blackheads Differ From Whiteheads?

Blackheads are also known as open comedones because the infection is open to the air which causes oxidation and gives it its characteristic black color.  Whereas whiteheads are the opposite and are referred to as closed comedones because the infection is below the surface.
