Blackheads are small, dark-colored bumps that appear on the surface of your skin. They are a type of acne known as acne vulgaris in medical terms. The sites where blackheads are most commonly observed are the nose and chin, but they can be present in other regions. The hair follicles on your skin get filled with sebum and dead skin cells, which accounts for the dark color of blackheads. When they are removed, it can be seen that they are actually lighter in color. Blackheads are not a serious skin condition, but they can be considered an aesthetic concern.
