What are whiteheads?
The whiteheads appear in the form of tiny, pearly white raised spots. They are common in the area just above the cheekbones, where the skin is fine. On oily skins, they may appear as part of a problem skin condition, along with blackheads, pimples and acne.
Causes of Whiteheads
Whiteheads are caused by the accumulation of hardened sebum or oil, in the pores of the skin. Where the skin is fine and delicate, the clogged sebum is not exposed to the air. In other words. the pores are not open. Oxidation does not take place, as in the case of blackheads.
Understanding the difference between blackheads and whiteheads
These are worm like mass of hardened sebum appearing most frequently on the face, forehead and the nose. Blackheads always accompany pimples and often occur during the teens. Whiteheads are cause by the accumulation of sebaceous matter beneath the skin. They occur on different parts of the face, neck, chest and the shoulders. Whiteheads are usually associated with fine textured and often dry skin. Make sure, a sterilized implement, known as blackhead extractor is used for removing blackheads.
