What are blackheads?

The skin is the largest organ that can perform many useful functions, such as thermoregulation, excretion of metabolic products, respiration, and protection of other tissues. All skin on the face is covered with glands. There are two types of sweat glands, eccrine and apocrine. Apocrine glands contain cells that are destroyed by sweat. These glands can be found on the skin of the forehead, wings of the nose, and eyelids. These glands are highly responsive to stress.

The main causes of the appearance of blackheads

You have probably heard about comedones. Many people have them, and often comedones appear during the period of hormonal changes, for example, in women during pregnancy or before menstruation, or in adolescence. As you get older, your body produces less sebum and sweat, so these rashes may go away on their own. Androgens have a great influence on the functioning of the skin glands. For example, during adolescence, there is a physiological increase in the concentration of hormones in the blood, but not everyone suffers from cosmetic imperfections. Some people have an increased sensitivity of the sebaceous glands to androgens. In this case, even a normal hormonal level can cause skin defects. Do not try to remove blackheads yourself. This problem needs to be solved with special cosmetic products, which may contain:

— azelaic acid, which regulates the activity of the sebaceous glands and keratinization;

— retinoids (vitamin A), which are mainly absorbed from food, but if blackheads appear, their intake should be increased;

— benzoyl peroxide has an antimicrobial effect and reduces inflammation;

— antibiotics inhibit the growth of bacteria.

Sometimes blackheads can become inflamed and in their place appear wounds, spots, or scars. To prevent these consequences, it is necessary to use skin-soothing products, which contain salicylic acid, zinc, and panthenol. If you have a problem with enlarged pores and blackheads, you need to responsibly choose products for skincare at home.
