Whiteheads and milia- comparing two women of differing ages. For medical education- NSFE.

For medical education- NSFE. Now that I have extracted more blackheads and whiteheads in the last few months than I have in my entire career as a dermatologist (!), I have noticed a pattern. Women tend to present more with whiteheads, aka as closed comedones, rather than blackheads. Maybe this is because we, as women, […]
