What are Blackheads and Whiteheads?
There is no cure for acne, although there are several successful treatments that will help you prevent serious outbreaks, and clear up the ones you currently have. Treating your acne and blackheads can also help improve your appearance and self esteem, as well as prevent the development of lifelong pitted scars.

Acne begins when sebaceous glands secrete excess oil and flood the follicle. When the oil presses up close to the skin and hardens to form a plug, this is called an open comedo, or a “blackhead.” A blackhead, despite the name, is not caused by dirt. The black color is the oil and skin debris accumulated at the opening the gland. Whiteheads are formed in similar manner, but the plug is much deeper under the skin.

Mild inflammatory acne is caused when the area just under the plug becomes infected by an overabundance of white cell matter battling skin bacteria. The area becomes inflamed and reddened. There are two types of mild inflammatory acne, papules and pustules. Papules are reddened, inflamed acne while the pustules are reddened acne with a white collection of pus at the top.

Treating whiteheads, blackheads and mild inflammatory acne is relatively simple when you are armed with the proper tools and knowledge.

What dermatologists recommend highly is a three-step kit approach to treating acne. By doing this, you effectively exfoliate the top dead layer of skin, so less dead skin and oil can clog your pores. The second step is generally applying a toner which works to help cleanse the freshly opened pores and exfoliated skin. The last step is a restoring cream made of 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide that works to treat and eliminate the acne, and prevent it from coming back. Based off our own research and from existing advise from medical professionals, we helped build a three-step kit that stringently conforms to the specifications of medical professionals and dermatologists.

When dealing with acne, one should rarely try to pop or force the blackhead, whitehead or acne to burst unless under the supervision of a doctor. Bursting the pustule or the plugs from the blackheads and whiteheads leaves the skin open to more infection from the skin based bacteria and could lead to scarring. Actively treating the problem with Truderma, is the best method to eliminate your acne and keep it from coming back. Learn more about Truderma or Order Truderma right now.
