Whiteheads appear as small, white or flesh-colored bumps on the skin’s surface. They are typically painless but can become inflamed or irritated if picked or squeezed. Unlike blackheads, whiteheads do not have an open pore, making them less noticeable but still a cosmetic concern for many individuals. Diagnosis is straightforward and usually involves a visual examination by a dermatologist. In some cases, a dermatologist may use a magnifying tool to examine the skin more closely and confirm the presence of whiteheads. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent the development of more severe acne.
