The small dark spots on your skin, or blackheads, are also named “open comedones”, and “closed comedones” are the whiteheads. These dark spots are actually blocked pores, which are filled with skin debris, keratin and sebum, an oily substance. When in this stage, they represent the beginning of the formation of pimples and acne.
Even though they do not possess potential to harm our health, they appear on the face (generally on the nose), which is the most noticeable body part, so they are an unpleasant phenomenon and can be quite annoying and unattractive.
