Hello and welcome to HCM,
White heads on face are caused due to obstruction of pores of sebaceous glands on face.
Infection of the pores will lead to acne.
When the pores are obstructed by squamous epithelial cells, it leads to white heads.
When obstruction is with dirt, it leads to black heads.
Treatment of white heads is first removal of the white heads followed by closure of the pores.
If the acne have formed they have to be treated with antimicrobial ointment like clindamycin along with oral antibiotic if required.
Keeping the skin clean is of utmost important in preventing acne and white heads.
You need to consult a cosmetologist for removal of white heads, treatment of acne and for future closure of pores.
Thanks and take care
