Where do the carnations come from?
Blackheads are very common black spots on the skin of people of all ages, although they are more common from puberty until the early years of adulthood.
Blackhead formation begins when a pore clogs in our skin, resulting in the accumulation of fat within the sebaceous follicle, the channel where the hair root and sebaceous glands are located.

In the case of larger pores, the surface of the accumulated fat has a large contact with air oxygen and ends up oxidizing and darkening. This type of blackhead is called an open blackhead.
On the other hand, when the pore is small, fat has less contact with air, reducing oxidation. What can happen in this case is the proliferation of bacteria, forming a white spot known as a closed blackhead that can evolve into a pimple.
Blackheads are punctual signs that do not indicate a more serious disease. However, if you notice an increase in the amount of these spots, consult a dermatologist so that he can indicate the most appropriate treatment for you.
