Understanding The Basics Of Comedonal Acne

Understanding the basics of comedonal acn

About

The skin colour acne bumps are called as the comedones. They can develop on areas such as chin and forehead.

It is a common condition and is also considered that form of acne that is mild to moderate.

  • Due to oxidation of open comedone the pimple looks dark.
  • The whiteheads look like small white dots and the surface is closed.
  • All the comedone acne looks bumpy.
  • It is easily identifiable as it is in flesh colour.

Blackheads along with whiteheads are usually caused by the trapped hair follicles. Dead skin cells can also get trapped within the hair follicles and these together in the presence of natural oil in the sebum can form a plug.

Adults who have oily skin are primarily affected by comedonal acne. It is also a common occurrence in individuals who have a habit of smoking. Some risk factors such as high humidity, over hydrated skin, high consumption of dairy products along with laser therapy leads to the appearance of this type of acne.
