What's the deal with whiteheads?

Question

They just seem to "pop" up. They don't do anything else but stay white? What in the heck are they?

Answer 1

Bubbles of grossness that has formed on your face, haha.

Just pop them.....

Answer 2

Hi Bell......

In our skin (especially when we are teenagers) the natural oil of skin changes because of growth processes.

Oil traps dirt in the pores which causes an inflammation (small infection) which in turn produces puss which is the white dot on top of the red.

Squeezing the pimple causes it to erupt, releasing the puss but may leave behind scar tissue which stays forever.

Hope this helps you.......take care.

Answer 3

I don't know my face is pretty clear but is that what happened that week when I was in 5th grade? It was weird one day I just woke up and I had acne then it just disappeared in a week.
