While they may not be as glaringly obvious as a large, inflamed whitehead, blackheads are pesky blemishes to deal with—and can be quite stubborn to treat. “Blackheads are a form of acne that causes small, dark bumps, most commonly on the nose, neck, and chin,” says Sean Alemi, MD , double-board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon in New York, NY. Blackheads can be caused by myriad factors, including pore-clogging beauty products, excess oil production, and genetics; if not addressed with a skin-care routine that includes the best blackhead removers, they can lead to permanently enlarged pores.
