Blackhead and Whiteheads:What's the difference?

Blackhead and whiteheads are types of acne (known as comedones) but is not as big as a regular acne. Comedones and acne both result from overproduction of androgen which is most commonly known as male hormones for both amle and female during puberty.

Acnes have pus inside the skin that goes deep inside the pores while blackhead/whiteheads is just a trace of the infected skin pore.
