sebaceous filaments
solidified impactions of oil without cell matter-blocked folicles that are often found on the nose and cause comedones
similar to open comedone-black head
retention hyperkeratosis
hereditary factor where dead skin cells don't shed from the folicles
sebum builds-up and causes open/closed comedones
small ostium
small pore opening leads to impactions of sebum
acne
