There are small black spots on the skin

Various melanin deposits often appear on people's skin, some are large and some are small. These are all dark spots formed on the skin due to excessive secretion of melanin. If you find small black spots on your skin, you should pay attention to it. This means that your skin needs careful care. This is most likely caused by lack of water in the skin. Let’s take a look at what the small black spots on the skin are all about.

How are blackheads formed? Blackheads are caused by excess oil secreted by the sebaceous glands, which solidifies and hardens when it encounters air and is oxidized to turn black when it flows out through the pores. In the process of oil solidification, dead skin and dust in the skin will also be mixed in.

Areas where blackheads are easily formed: Blackheads are easily formed in areas where oil secretion is abundant. Blackheads in men tend to appear on the face, chest, and back. As far as the face is concerned, combination skin will have obvious blackheads in the T-zone such as the nose and forehead. Blackheads can form anywhere on the face of oily skin. People with neutral skin are more likely to develop blackheads in the T-zone of their face in the summer.

The shape of blackheads: Blackheads are solid hard particles, black or dark brown. Most blackheads are so small that they are invisible to the naked eye. Some blackheads are not only large in size but also dark in color, and are firmly embedded in the pores. Blackheads generally won’t fall off on their own without care.

Age at which blackheads appear: Generally speaking, the appearance of blackheads has little to do with age. Blackheads are mainly related to oil secretion, which in turn has a great relationship with skin age. Therefore, blackheads are more likely to form during adolescence and youth. Then, if not taken care of, the blackheads will grow larger and more obvious. Men often don’t pay enough attention to blackheads when they are just formed, but after they are 25 or 30 years old, blackheads will become one of the main obstacles to skin health. If you try to deal with it now, it will leave permanent marks on your skin.

The harm of blackheads: The accumulation and expansion of blackheads will enlarge the pores. When the pores are enlarged beyond the limit, they will lose the function of opening and closing.

If the blackheads are too large, they will burst the hair follicles, causing inflammation of the hair follicles and causing redness and swelling of the skin.

Blackheads are prone to acne bacteria and prostatitis.

When blackheads clog the pores, the skin cannot exchange gases and fluids with the outside world, which causes the skin's blood to lack oxygen and lose its luster, becoming one of the reasons for dull skin tone.
