How to Get Rid of Blackheads

As primary, non-inflammatory and efflorescence blackhead, they will cause acne in the end. Such comedo (Latin word) originates from an excessive keratinization (hyperkeratosis) of the canal of a follicular gland follicle (pore). By the condensation of horny lamellae, the outlet of the follicle becomes blocked, the sebum can no longer flow off properly. This process provides an ideal breeding ground for the acne bacteria and Propionibacterium acne. Depending on whether the pore opens (small / large) or not, the following two types of blackheads / comedones are distinguished:

Whiteheads: closed blackheads, enclosed sebum and bacteria that cannot reach the skin surface, the comedo remains light / white, and sometimes is not visible with the eyes.

Blackheads: open blackheads, in contrast to the whiteheads, these comedones have a larger pore opening, whereby the dye contained in the sebum can oxidize melanin, resulting in the typical black / dark coloration.
