Blackheads on white skin occur due to the accumulation of excess oil (sebum) in the pores. When this oil mixes with dead skin cells and debris or dirt picked up from the environment, it forms a plug or stopper. This plug then oxidizes and turns black when exposed to air.

Blackheads may appear more prominent on darker skin due to increased melanin production. This shows up more greatly as it gives a more contrasting appearance against the darker skin. Extraction of the blackheads can be more challenging without causing hyperpigmentation. An experienced skin specialist will be able to decide the safest and most successful treatment to remove the blackheads on the darker skin tones.

Blackheads on Asian skin might be finer or less pronounced due to natural smaller pores. Blackheads on Asian skin (light or dark) are most often found around the area between the eyes or on the cheeks.

Darker skin tones are more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), making aggressive treatments riskier.
It is important that a skin specialist, such as Jacqui Bannister at Skin Revision, understands the risks of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation when treating blackhead on darker, African type skin tones and skin colour.

Maintaining a healthy diet, staying hydrated, and avoiding excessive consumption of oily or processed foods can help reduce the occurrence of blackheads. Regular exercise and stress management also play a role in maintaining great skin health and the development and appearance of blackheads.
