It's estimated that around 80% of people will experience acne at some point in their lives. They usually develop during puberty, but they can also occur in adults. Pimples are small, raised bumps on the skin that can be red, white, or black.
Blackheads are a type of pimple that forms when sebum, the natural oil produced by your skin, and dead skin cells block pores. This can cause bacterial growth and sometimes inflammation as well.
There are many ways to get rid of pimples and blackheads, but not all of them are equally effective. In this blog post, we will explore the most effective methods for getting rid of pimples and blackheads.
What are blackheads and pimples?
Blackheads:
Acne has a form known as blackheads. They are open skin pimples that collect extra oil and dead cells. The black patches appear to be dirt in the bump, but they are actually caused by an uneven light reflection from the obstructed follicle.
Pimples:
Oil glands that are blocked or irritated or an increased amount of acne-causing bacteria on your skin are the two main causes of pimples, which are common skin issues. There are numerous varieties and they are a sign of acne.
Know their causes
When skin is irritated by objects it comes into touch with, pimples can sometimes form. When most folks think of pimples, they envision acne. Sebaceous glands, often known as oil glands, are found all throughout your body. Pimples develop when your sebaceous glands get clogged or inflamed.
Blackheads and whiteheads are comedones (Small, flesh-coloured, white, or black lumps that give the skin a rough texture). Blackheads are open comedones, and whiteheads are closed comedones. The inflammation of a hair follicle / sebaceous gland can cause comedones.
Causes of inflammation resulting in both pimples and blackheads may include:
- Increased sebum (the greasy substance generated by the sebaceous gland) levels
- abnormal keratin production
- Increased Hormone levels (Androgens)
- Pimple-causing germs are more prevalent on your skin.
