I’m curious about what’s inside blackheads. What comes out when you pop a blackhead?

When you pop a blackhead, you may see a mixture of dead skin cells, oil (sebum), and bacteria that have accumulated in the pore. The dark appearance of a blackhead is due to the oil and dead skin cells being exposed to air and oxidizing, leading to the characteristic black color. It’s important to note that popping blackheads can lead to inflammation, infection, scarring, and may worsen the condition, so it’s generally recommended to use proper skincare techniques or seek advice from a dermatologist to address blackheads effectively.
