Acne comes in two varieties: blackheads and whiteheads.

Blackheads appear as black dots on your skin, while whiteheads appear as white spots. While blackheads and whiteheads form in different ways, they both respond to similar treatments.

Check out what causes whiteheads and blackheads, as well as some tips for dealing with them.

How Blackheads Develop

Blackheads are also called open comedones. Comedones are skin-coloured bumps that appear after a pimple. In the case of blackheads, these comedones are follicles beneath your skin with very large openings.

These pores become clogged with the oil called sebum when you have blackheads. Under your skin, a chemical reaction with sebum occurs. Melanin oxidises and turns the clogged pores black. This type of acne is commonly found on the back, shoulders, and face.

How Whiteheads Develop

Whiteheads are known as closed comedones. Bacteria accumulate in the follicles beneath your skin, with a very small opening at the top. The bacteria within the follicle cannot undergo the same chemical reaction that causes blackheads to darken because air cannot enter the follicle.

Whiteheads, like blackheads, are commonly found on the shoulders, back and face.

Treatment for Blackheads and Whiteheads

Because both blackheads and whiteheads are caused by clogged pores, they can be treated in the same way.

Over-the-counter (OTC) treatments for blackheads and whiteheads can be effective. You can use face serum to remove blackheads & whiteheads.

Search for products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Both assist in the removal of oil and dead skin cells that clog your pores. These ingredients can be found in everything from facial washes to creams to astringents at your local medical store or online.

A review of existing research suggests that the following natural remedies may help some people reduce acne:

  • Using tea tree oil on the skin
  • consuming bee pollen venom
  • adhering to a low-glycemic diet

You might be tempted to remove blackheads or whiteheads. However, spreading the bacteria from your pimples to your skin can result in more outbreaks on the rest of your face. Picking at pimples can also cause scarring, discolouration, or red, irritated, and painful skin.

Tips for Prevention – Whiteheads and Blackheads

Following a skincare regime and washing it regularly can help reduce the likelihood of blackheads or whiteheads developing into major skin problems.

To avoid breakouts, follow these guidelines:

  • It is essential to wash your face with mild soap twice a day to keep it clean.
  • To dry out excess oil, use over-the-counter products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.
  • Choose makeup that is oil-free and will not clog your pores.
  • Try not to touch your face.
  • Refrain from picking at or popping pimples.
  • For your hair, use water-based gels and sprays. Even better, keep your hair away from your face so that products won’t clog your pores.

If these lifestyle changes do not help clear your skin, or if you have severe acne, consult your doctor or a dermatologist. Dermatologists specialise in treating skin conditions. Your doctor may prescribe oral or topical medications to clear up and heal your skin. They can also assist you in developing a daily routine that is specific to your skin type.

Over to You

There are several widely held misconceptions about zits. One of the most common is that acne is caused by dirty skin. While washing your face regularly is part of a healthy skincare routine, over-washing can irritate and worsen acne.

However, lifestyle factors such as touching your face as little as possible, not picking at blemishes when they do appear, and eating a healthy diet may help prevent future breakouts. Speak with your healthcare provider if you have concerns about your acne or want to investigate some medications listed above for treating black and whiteheads.
