what is a clogged pore called
Pores clogging: basics. Clogged pores (also called blocked pores) are the types of acne called comedones or comedonal acne. There are two types of comedones: blackheads and whiteheads. These skin conditions appear when hair follicle on our skin becomes blocked by dead cells and the oil gland continues to produce sebum. In this case sebum doesnât come out from the gland to the skin surface because the follicle is blocked.
