Valkopäät

Valkopäät, also known as whiteheads, are small, solid, white or yellowish bumps that appear on the skin. They are typically found on the face, chest, and back, and are caused by a plugged hair follicle. The plug is composed of dead skin cells, oil, and bacteria. Whiteheads are not as visible as blackheads because they are covered by the skin's surface. They can vary in size from a small pinpoint to a larger bump. Valkopäät are often associated with acne and can be a sign of underlying skin issues such as hormonal changes, stress, or poor skincare habits. Treatment options for whiteheads include over-the-counter topical treatments, prescription medications, and professional skincare procedures. Regular cleansing and maintaining good skincare habits can help prevent the formation of whiteheads.
