What is Comedo?
Comedo is the primary sign of acne.
Comedo can either be a closed or an open type.
Closed comedo is commonly known as whiteheads while open comedo is more popularly referred to as blackheads.
Closed comedo has an obstructed opening that can be ruptured. When that happens, a low-grade infection could form on the skin area.
On the other hand, open comedo produces a wide opening on the skin, which is usually capped with blackened mass.
Treating these two types of comedo is easy. You can find the most common solutions right inside your homes.
