What's the difference? less pus maybe?

Q. What's the difference between a blackhead and a whitehead?

A. Well, besides the colour of course, the difference is the way that the spot develops. Sometimes your pores are blocked at the surface of the skin by oil. With sun exposure the oil turns black and appears on your skin as a blackhead. When oil is trapped lower down in the skin, because of a build-up of oil and dead skin cells, a whitehead forms. If a blackhead or whitehead becomes infected from the bacteria that lives on the surface of your skin, the infection can also erupt into a pimple or yucky pus-filled cyst, which is why stopping yourself from picking and squeezing your spots is SO important!

Well don't ask silly questions then.

But so few do.

you have to squeeze both and leave an ugly red mark on your face... 

[Uncle Mort]

So a blackhead is a spot.

[Bar Wench]

Yes but the treatment is different. Blackhead scrub would not be very good for "spots" as we know them.

[chuntering again]

The difference is when you squeeze a spot you get a shotgun blast of yellow pus, whereas a blackhead produces a controlled worm of accumulated grease. There are few things more satisfying than squeezing a nice big blackhead (missus).

It would be nice if you substituted all the YOUR in that description for Me, My and/or Mine ~ Some of us don't have these problems and resent the implication that we suffer from spots, pimples and blackheads. It is a matter of cleanliness and hormones.

It is a matter of cleanliness and hormones.

I assume then that you lack both, Mr Smooth-as-a-babies-bum?

[Bar Wench]

Nothing to do with cleanliness and everything to do with hormones. 

[Uncle Mort]

Q: How do you make a hormone?


A: You don't pay her.


(sorry)
