These white plugs in your pores are likely called whiteheads. Whiteheads are a type of acne characterized by clogged pores containing skin oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells. They appear as small white or yellowish bumps on the skin and can be treated with proper skincare routines, such as gentle cleansing, exfoliation, and topical treatments containing ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. If you have persistent issues with whiteheads, consulting a dermatologist may be beneficial for personalized treatment recommendations.
