Talk:Blackhead

message: Person above - next time provide a source. I could say that my dermatologist said pigs flying were the cause of acne, but that doesn't mean that it should be added. But that being said, I have removed the treatment/causes sections and added sources to the article. This page says blackheads are a type of acne ... (forgot the type). That type of acne is linked (there is another wp article on it). In it there was a fully cited section on treatment and causes (this I noted), so therefore there is no need to have a treatment/causes section here (especially since it wasn't cited at all) - I see that as repetitive.

thread_title: Major Changes

message: Could someone explain what a blackhead gun is?  Presumably, it gets rid of blackheads.
Also, could someone post a picture of a blackhead?  I'm having no luck finding pictures online.

thread_title:  Blackhead gun? 

message: None the less, a picture of a nose with ordinary blackheads (almost all white people in cold climates have them to some extent; only real way to get rid of them is a hot climate where extra sweat/sebum flow keeps pores unclogged - though saunas can help) would be informative - their contents on a pore strip might as well be sand grains.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.45.14.247 (talk) 19:16, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Blackheads "in situ"

message: This article should be moved to the technical term and than discuss both whiteheads and blackheads. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 07:01, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Move to technical term [[comedone]]

message: Hi
I am new on Wiki. I added substantial information on Blackhead treatments but it is deleted. I am unable to follow the reason for the same.
Thanks.

replies: text: The reason was given in the edit summary. The material was mostly redundant with material in Acne Vulgaris, the article where it belongs. Furthermore, it was unsourced.  OhNoitsJamie Talk 13:59, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

text: Oh yes, you nailed this issue on the head. I have a COI with blackheads.  I own 52% of the controlling shares in Amalgamated Blackheads and Lesions, Inc.  I'm not going even going to address your other request because it's a "throwing out the baby with the bathwater" argument. OhNoitsJamie Talk 20:13, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

text: This article describes what a blackhead is.  There is another article describing what a whitehead is (Pimple).  Both are symptoms/manifestations of Acne Vulgaris, which is where any content on treatment belongs. Period. OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:26, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  blackheads-treatments deleted 

message: Not sure "modified" is the best word for the sebum here. "Modified" implies a person acted on it deliberately, or that, if it was nature, then a specific single event happened.
"Decomposed" or "oxidised" might be better, but I don't understand the process well enough to pick a specific word. Which is why I'm not changing it myself. But for the next passing dermatologist...
