Blackheads

Blackheads are a very rare type of acne that causes blue-black patches with bright white centers. Black acne has a dark pigment called melanin, which is absent from the epidermis of any normal person. This is one of the reasons why blackheads have such an unusual appearance. Acne of this type should be treated under the supervision of a dermatologist. Other factors for the appearance of black spots in problem areas: if acne looks black due to insufficient cleansing; due to too aggressive effects of masks and peelings; if inflammation occurs during the process of sebum production; melanin hyperpigmentation; age-related erythema with actinic dermatitis and symptoms of age-related skin atrophy; sarcaidosis; demodicosis; acne; depression; reaction to medications; sunlight; other factors. Blackheads are considered a manifestation of various types of diseases associated with pathological processes of the skin. The main reasons for the appearance may be: hereditary factor - the transfer of melanin pigment from parents to offspring at birth; sexual hormonal imbalances; pregnancy, postpartum period; uncontrolled use of pharmacological drugs; decreased immune defense; prolonged exposure to the sun; inflammatory processes in the oral cavity; manifestations of stress; multiple sclerosis; endocrine pathologies; ultraviolet exposure; stressful periods, hypovitaminosis; malfunction of the thyroid gland; use of low-quality cosmetics; cancerous tumors; vascular pathologies; psoriasis, neurodermatitis; renal failure. Provoking factors for black acne are: overeating difficult-to-digest foods, heredity, frequent alcohol consumption; increased fat content in the dermis; disruption of the natural functioning of metabolic processes in tissues; improper hygiene; bad habits - smoking and alcohol; abuse of solarium, neglect of sun protection products; frequent washing of the face with tap water, removing impurities using aggressive scrubs; the presence of problems with the nervous system, abnormal psycho-emotional background; great mental or physical stress; gel polish, hair coloring, permanent makeup and eyebrows that are prone to irritation; allergen; overfeeding with cosmetics and, as a result, the appearance of an allergic reaction. Allergic blackheads appear a short period of time after using creams and masks. Very often such pigmentary changes are found on the face of people who do not care about the quality of their skin and apply dubious dubious cosmetics to it
