Are there any cleansers that are specifically for whiteheads?

i barely ever get pimples, but i am always getting whiteheads even though i wash my face regularly. any ideas???? Maybe a dermtologist could answer??? THANKS!!!Are there any cleansers that are specifically for whiteheads?
Not really, but Whiteheads are a build-up of oils, and dead skin that plugs up your pores. Just like the blackheads, the whiteheads can be also seen in both teenagers and adults. Therefor, you want to use cleanser for oily skin.


Whiteheads can be shortly defined as: tiny, pearly, white raised spots formed in the skin where skin cells clog and close a hair follicle (the reason why they are also called closed comedones ). Many people mistake whiteheads for pimples as they both look alike but there is a difference because whiteheads should be removed very carefully.


The exact cause of whiteheads isn鈥檛 still known for sure but most of the dermatologists suggest that the whiteheads are caused by the accumulation of hardened sebum (oil) in the pores of the skin. If the skin pore closes up then the bacteria will remain under the skin - it will begin to grow and after a few days a whitehead will be formed.


You should never try to remove whiteheads alone at home! You should know that whiteheads are different from pimples or blackheads. If you try to squeeze the whitehead you may easily break the skin which will result in permanent, reddish scar.
