Skin Blackheads
In comparison to other more severe skin problems, skin blackheads may seem a minor and inconsequential problem to worry about. However, blackheads can pose a problematic day-to-day living for individuals who are prone to getting them. Like many other skin problems, blackheads can also affect an individual’s perception of themselves, their self-confidence, and their esteem. ‘Open comedones is the scientific term for blackheads. They occur due to skin exposure to different aspects of life. At Clear Medical,, we aim to clear these widened pores and minimise their recurrence for clearer skin.
What causes a blackhead?
Blackheads mainly occur in hair follicle pores which are occluded with sebum (oily matter secreted by the sebaceous gland) and keratin (fibrous protein). The sebaceous gland secretions can be induced by skin abrasion or your immune system’s response to internal stress. Research conducted on blackheads shows that there are inherent susceptibilities to open comedones. This also means that they can affect any ethnicity and appear over any area of the body. The black appearance is caused when the open comedones become clogged with dead cells or environmental particles, followed by the oxidation of sebum and keratin.
The Favre-Racouchot disease is more severe solar elastosis (the accumulation of abnormal elastic tissue within the dermis of the skin) within open comedones, studding the periorbital (inflammation of the eyelid and the skin around the eye) region of the face.
Cleansing Nose Strips
Skin blackheads are pretty common over the nasal area, and most people attempt to remove them with cleansing nose strips. We do not recommend using pore strips for blackhead treatment as it is similar to waxing. Removing them with this method may cause irritation and damage to the skin. Over time, it may also cause the sebaceous gland secretions to increase, causing the situation to become more prevalent. The pore size may also dilate further, causing more blackheads.
