| If the lipid material accumulates in the hair follicle, we have the formation of comedones, or blackheads. |
| But how do you get someone to see all the love and longing lurking behind pimples, blackheads and misty specs? |
| If mixed with the secretion of the sebaceous glands, blackheads will come up on the face. |
| You have moderate acne if you have swelling, red bumps, or pustules, along with the whiteheads and blackheads. |
| The resulting build up of sebum behind the blockage helps produce blackheads and whiteheads. |
| Patient education is important since attempts to extrude blackheads or pustules may lead to deeper, potentially scarring lesions. |
