Let us know all details about comedonal acne

These skin coloured to black coloured bumps on face are your first stage of pimples, which gives that rough texture on cheeks, forehead and along jaw line. Black heads simply called open comedones are keratin and other materials of skin collected and when exposed to air gets oxidised and forms that black colour and that’s not the dirt !

White heads simply called closed comedones are again keratin and other skin materials collected underneath a thin layer of skin making it not exposed to external environment and hence appears white.

Why do we see comedones ?
