Blackheads · 블랙헤드

Also called: open comedones · 피지블랙헤드 · 코 블랙헤드

Updated May 2026. Based on public dermatology references (AAD, MedlinePlus, NHS) plus K-beauty editorial summary. Editorial summary — not regulatory or medical advice.

What it is

Blackheads are open comedones — clogged pores whose contents oxidize on air exposure and turn dark. They cluster on the nose, chin, and forehead in oily and combination skin.

한국어 설명

블랙헤드는 모공이 막혀 내용물이 공기와 만나 산화·검게 보이는 개방 면포다. 지성·복합성 피부의 코·턱·이마에 집중적으로 분포한다.

Common triggers

K-beauty approach

K-beauty pairs proper double cleansing (oil + low-pH foam) with gentle BHA toners or pads rather than mechanical squeezing or pore strips, which can damage pore walls and worsen the appearance over time.

한국어 설명

K-뷰티는 모공 압출이나 코팩보다 이중세안(오일 + 저자극 폼) + 약한 BHA 토너·패드 사용을 권장한다. 물리적 압출은 모공 벽 손상으로 오히려 외관 악화 가능.

When to see a clinician

If blackheads are accompanied by cystic inflammation or severe oily skin that does not respond to topical care, consult a dermatologist.
