commonly known as black heads or white heads, occur when a hair follicle becomes plugged with sebum (oil). When the sebum is exposed to the environment it can oxidized and turn black (black heads). When the follicle is closed and not exposed to the environment they are cream colored (white heads). Keratolytic agents (Glycolic acid and salicylic acid) are helpful in treating blackheads and whiteheads seen in acne.
