What is the difference between a blackhead and a pimple?

They are both clogged pores right? Then how are they different? Is a pimple the same thing but gets infected?|||Yes, a pimple is a blackhead that gets infected. The lining of the pore gets weak and breaks. Lots of white blood cells flood the area to attack what they think is the foreign invader. The white blood cells is what forms the pus that you see with pimples.|||A blackhead is a yellowish or blackish bump or plug on the skin. A blackhead is a type of acne vulgaris. It is caused by excess oils that have accumulated in the sebaceous gland%26#039;s duct. The substance found in these bumps mostly consists of keratin and modified sebum (an oily secretion of the sebaceous gland), which darkens (resembling dirt) as it oxidizes. While A pimple is a result of a blockage of the skin%26#039;s pore. It can be a pustule or papule.|||Exactly, a pimple is infected. Also dont listen to Diety, blackheads ARE easier to get rid of. One simple push and their gone, you dont even have to break the skin. While pimples, you have to break the skin if you want to pop it (which you shouldnt because you%26#039;ll probably just reinfect the area) will leave scars.|||A pimple is a clogged pore. A blackhead is a pimple that has collected dirt on top of it, making it appear dark. It tends to be dried out compared to pimples, too.|||Blackhead:
