blackhead
Clogged skin pore
A blackhead is a small plug of dark-colored material clogging a pore in the skin—a mild form of acne.
The dark color comes not from dirt but from oxidized oil and dead skin cells exposed to air.
She squeezed the blackheads on her nose.
Blackhead also names a bacterial disease affecting turkeys and other poultry.
