Anyone who looks at pictures of friends or celebrities on Facebook & Co often gets the impression that everyone is blessed with perfect skin. But often filters are used to cheat. The truth is that everyone suffers from pesky pimples at one time or another – and everyone can fight them. Everything you need to know about blemishes and its treatment can be found here.
You probably know blemishes best from puberty. It manifests itself in the form of white or black blackheads and reddened, inflamed pimples. All of the above skin symptoms can be the first precursors of acne. They are usually caused by an interaction of many factors. Changes in hormone balance as well as excessive sebum production are only two of many factors that promote skin blemishes. This also explains why not all areas of the body are prone to blemished skin. Most often they occur on the face, back and chest.
In most cases, blemished skin is a mental burden. The appearance of the skin is very important for our perception of beauty and thus it often has a direct effect on self-confidence.

Unfortunately, sebaceous glands may want to help too much. Then the channel becomes clogged and fills with sebum as well as dead skin cells. A white blackhead appears. As soon as it tears, the skin pigment melanin stored in the blackhead reacts with oxygen. This causes the sebaceous plug to turn dark and become the classic black blackhead. You’ll especially often find these problem children in the T-zone, i.e. on the forehead, around the nose and on the chin.
If the white blackhead does not tear, but remains closed, bacteria can multiply in it. To get rid of them, the body provides inflammation. This shows itself to you through the dreaded pimple: the skin reddens and pus forms, which can be seen as a small white dot under the surface of the skin.
The development of blemished skin can be promoted by a wide variety of factors. The most important of these are:
