What are Blackheads?
Blackheads are small bumps that appear on your skin due to clogged hair follicles. These bumps are called blackheads because the surface looks dark or black. Blackheads can usually be treated with over-the-counter acne products.
Blackheads are a mild type of acne that usually form on the face, but they can also appear on the following body parts:
- back
- chest
- neck
- arms
- shoulders
Acne affects nearly 50 million Americans and is the most common skin disorder in the United States, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.
