whiteheads occur when your pores accumulate excess oil or sebum and fail to drain. frequently acne-forming bacteria will arise simultaneously due to pore blockage and the alteration of the ph on the surface of your skin. in order to combat this you will need to begin exfoliating your skin and reduce surface bacteria on your skin with compounds containing alpha-hydroxy acids (ahas) or salicylic acid.
