Blackheads-Treatment With Chemical Peeling
by CD Mohatta
Acne normally begins with white and blackheads. To know about how to treat them with Chemical peeling, let me tell you what are whiteheads and blackheads. Whiteheads and blackheads are the first stage of acne. Acne develops on hair follicles, which have sebaceous glands attached to them. These sebaceous glands produce oil called sebum. Due to various reasons, the sebum changes in quantity and quality resulting in scales on the hair follicle. These scales block the skin pores causing acne. This blockage of the skin pores is the beginning of acne.

Blackheads and whiteheads- How They Form?
The first stage of this blockage shows up as blackheads and whiteheads. These are also called as comedones. A comedone is a sebaceous follicle that is plugged and filled with sebum, dead cells, etc. An open comedone is called a blackhead because of its blackish appearance. A blocked comedone is called as a whitehead. It is a small bump in the skin with skin like color. A whitehead has a closed mouth and the blackhead has an open mouth. The black color of blackheads is not due to dirt as some believe, but it is the oxidized sebum.

Treatment Of Blackheads and whiteheads-
White and blackheads are a big problem to remove. Sometimes, despite trying many medications they do not get cleared. Chemical peels are done at that stage. A qualified medical practitioner should always perform chemical peeling. In this procedure a chemical is applied on the skin for a given time. Depending upon the strength of the chemical, its nature and the time duration, the chemical peels off some part of skin. As new skin heals, it is free of the earlier blemishes.
To treat whiteheads and blackheads mild or superficial peels are used. Mild AHA are used for 10 minutes and washed off. The chemical peel removes the upper most dead skin layer and very mildly peels off the uppermost part of epidermis. This removes the white and blackheads. Please consult your doctor for more details.
