Whiteheads

Whiteheads, also known as closed comedones, are a form of acne caused by skin pores clogged with trapped dirt, sebum and dead skin. They mostly appear on the nose, cheeks, temples and forehead.


They are similar to blackheads but appear as small white or yellow bumps as they form under the surface of closed pores.
