COMEDONES (BLACKHEADS)

Clinical Manifestations	A blackhead is created when a follicle in the skin becomes plugged and pushes through the surface. Technically called open comedones, they are typically caused by the skin producing too much oil. This oil, when exposed to air, turns black in color (and sometimes yellow) because of a buildup of melanin, the skin’s dark pigment. Therefore blackheads are not caused by dirt as a lot of people think.
