A blackhead results when dead skin cells and sebum block a hair follicle near the surface of the skin. The mixture of pigment (the protein that gives skin its color) from the dead skin cells and sebum makes a blackhead dark; it is not dirt that can be washed away.
The oily skin tends to attract more grime and dirt from the environment and these pollutants also collect in the pore with the hardened oil. Blackhead causes the pores to be further enlarged and women with oily skin end up with a skin texture that is course and rough.
They are the cause of acne. When a pore is fully blocked, the oil glands can get infected resulting in a pimple.
