Blackheads are a chronic skin condition. According to some research, Androgens hormones cause these oil-producing glands to increase sebum or oil production, which then turn into tiny plugs called blackheads.
A few more researches tell us that bacteria that flourish on the skin cause this condition to develop at the first place. So these bacteria emit substances which then cause inflammation. Estrogens, the female hormones, can also play a major role in the development of acne particularly in girls. The people who believe that it is caused by a genetic factor; tell that you can’t stop it. Stress and diet, don’t actually cause it to form.
Blackheads usually occur on the T-Zone but sometimes they do appear on the whole face. Mostly blackheads are related to minor or moderate forms of acne. You must also clean the pore when you clean a black head pimple and be careful, don’t let it spread on your whole face which may taint other areas of your face.
