Know thy Comedones!
This section of the article focuses on explaining what comedones are. Comedones are primarily defined as a type of acne. In layman's language, the comedone is regarded as whiteheads or blackheads. A comedone or a comedo is a small aberration that forms bump-like structures on the skin surface, having its roots in the epidermal layer. Blackheads could be defined as small, black spots on the surface of the skin. When this oil comes in contact with the surrounding air, the color changes into an oxidized black shade. The whitehead is formed when the sebaceous glands secrete excess of sebum.

The whiteheads and blackheads are caused when the hair follicles are blocked by excess sebum secretion leading to clogged pores. These follicles have an inherent tendency to widen by filling in small amounts of bacteria and dead skin cells. The rate at which sebum is secreted ids the highest during teen years. It is during these years that the skin becomes increasingly susceptible to blackheads and whitehead formations, especially on the facial skin.
