Those little white plugs in your pores are most likely whiteheads or closed comedones. Whiteheads occur when dead skin cells, oil, and bacteria get trapped in a pore, causing it to become blocked and leading to a small white bump on the skin’s surface. They are a mild form of acne and can be treated with proper skincare, exfoliation, and sometimes topical treatments containing ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. It is essential to avoid squeezing or picking at whiteheads, as this can lead to inflammation and potential scarring. If you have persistent or severe whiteheads, it may be helpful to consult a dermatologist for further guidance and treatment options.
