Many people, special teenagers what is blackhead?

Well, like wikipedia says:

A blackhead (medically known as an open comedo,[1] plural comedones) is a yellow or blackish bump or plug on the skin. A blackhead is a type of acne vulgaris. Contrary to the common belief that it is caused by poor hygiene, blackheads are caused by excess oils that have accumulated in the sebaceous gland’s duct. The substance found in these bumps mostly consists of keratin and modified sebum (an oily secretion of the sebaceous gland), which darkens as it oxidizes. Clogged hair follicles, where blackheads often occur, reflect light irregularly to produce a blackhead’s “black” hue.[2] For this reason, the blockage might not necessarily look black when extracted from the pore, but may have a more yellow-brown colour as a result of its melanin content.

Acne is a skin problem that affects people from all ages. Usually starts as pre-adolescence and can last until the 40′s or 50′s. Some people are more affected than others and therefore treatments can differ.

We already know that adolescence brings us a weird and freaking new look that make us shy, embarrassed and complexed. I’m talking about the acne that usually attacks teenagers, when all those hormones are popping up in the body stream. We all know that acne appears, it’s treatable but can cause some inner psychological damage to the teenagers.

What about adult acne? Although people don’t talk about it often, adult onset acne is very common, especially in women, due to the hormone level variation throughout the month. Menstruation and contraceptive pills are the most important factors for adult acne in women.

Acne is also a hereditary disease, so if you have some family members suffering from it, it is possible that you and your kids will also have it.

Some medications can also have acne as a side effect. If you feel that a medication you are taking is causing you acne you should to your doctor and ask for advice. There are a wide variety of treatments available on the market but you should always check with a doctor before buying a treatment on your own.
