Super giant blackheads are a type of acne lesion that occurs when the hair follicles become clogged with sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria. They are characterized by their large size and dark appearance. These blackheads can be more challenging to treat due to their size and depth within the skin.
The formation of super giant blackheads begins with the overproduction of sebum, which is an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. When there is an excess production of sebum, it can mix with dead skin cells and bacteria, leading to clogged pores. As the pore becomes blocked, it creates a favourable environment for the growth of bacteria, which can further contribute to inflammation and the formation of blackheads.
