The <\/span>nose <\/span>is <\/span>one <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>most <\/span>oil-<\/span>prone <\/span>areas <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>face, <\/span>making <\/span>it <\/span>highly <\/span>susceptible <\/span>to <\/span>clogged <\/span>pores, <\/span>blackheads, <\/span>and <\/span>inflamed <\/span>acne <\/span>lesions. <\/span>The <\/span>images <\/span>above <\/span>demonstrate <\/span>multiple <\/span>stages <\/span>of <\/span>nasal <\/span>skin <\/span>concerns \u2014 <\/span>including <\/span>deep <\/span>blackheads (<\/span>open <\/span>comedones), <\/span>inflamed <\/span>pustules, <\/span>and <\/span>irritated <\/span>or <\/span>infected <\/span>lesions <\/span>following <\/span>manipulation.<\/span><\/p>\n

While <\/span>blackheads <\/span>are <\/span>common, <\/span>improper <\/span>handling <\/span>can <\/span>turn <\/span>a <\/span>minor <\/span>pore <\/span>blockage <\/span>into <\/span>a <\/span>painful <\/span>and <\/span>potentially <\/span>scarring <\/span>infection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why <\/span>the <\/span>Nose <\/span>Develops <\/span>So <\/span>Many <\/span>Blackheads<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The <\/span>nose <\/span>contains <\/span>a <\/span>high <\/span>concentration <\/span>of <\/span>sebaceous (<\/span>oil) <\/span>glands. <\/span>These <\/span>glands <\/span>naturally <\/span>produce <\/span>sebum <\/span>to <\/span>protect <\/span>and <\/span>hydrate <\/span>the <\/span>skin. <\/span>However, <\/span>when <\/span>excess <\/span>oil <\/span>combines <\/span>with:<\/span><\/p>\n

    pores <\/span>can <\/span>become <\/span>clogged.<\/span><\/p>\n

    When <\/span>the <\/span>pore <\/span>remains <\/span>open, <\/span>oxidation <\/span>causes <\/span>the <\/span>trapped <\/span>material <\/span>to <\/span>darken \u2014 <\/span>forming <\/span>a <\/span>blackhead.<\/span><\/p>\n

    What <\/span>Happens <\/span>When <\/span>Blackheads <\/span>Become <\/span>Inflamed?<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Blackheads <\/span>are <\/span>usually <\/span>painless. <\/span>However, <\/span>inflammation <\/span>may <\/span>occur <\/span>if:<\/span><\/p>\n
