What are blackheads made of?

dirt and oil.What are blackheads made of?
A blackhead is a yellowish or blackish bump or plug on the skin. A blackhead is a type of acne vulgaris. It is caused by excess oils that have accumulated in the sebaceous gland's duct. The substance found in these bumps mostly consists of keratin and modified sebum (an oily secretion of the sebaceous gland), which darkens (resembling dirt) as it oxidizes. It is not dirt that is in a blackhead. I hoped this helped you.





Sincerely, David.What are blackheads made of?
flesh, skin, blood, muscle, bone just like any old white head. ;)
dirt that gets stuck into the pores on your skin
oils and dirt
heads that are black...
