What is another word for whiteheads?
Pronunciation: [wˈa͡ɪthɛdz] (IPA) 
Whiteheads, also known as closed comedones, are a common type of acne. They are characterized by small, white bumps on the skin that occur when pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. While the term whiteheads is widely used to refer to this type of acne, there are other synonyms that can also be used. Some of these include plugged pores, sebaceous filaments, milia, and clogged follicles. Although they may be called by different names, the causes and treatments for whiteheads are largely the same. Regular cleansing, exfoliation, and the use of topical acne medications can help to prevent and clear whiteheads.
