Whiteheads are closed comedones: pores blocked under a thin layer of skin, forming small white or skin-coloured bumps. They respond to professional extractions, chemical peels, retinoid skincare and gentle laser. At Louave in Cheongdam, Gangnam, Seoul, a dermatologist confirms the diagnosis (milia and other bumps can look similar) and plans treatment.
