Blackheads tend to form in the ear due to several factors. Firstly, the ear has a high concentration of oil glands, which produce sebum to keep the skin moisturized. When excess sebum is produced or when dead skin cells accumulate, they can clog the hair follicles and lead to the formation of blackheads. Additionally, the shape and contours of the ear make it difficult to effectively cleanse and exfoliate, allowing for the buildup of dirt, oil, and dead skin cells.
The stubbornness of ear blackheads can also be attributed to the presence of bacteria. Bacteria thrive in warm and moist environments, making the ear an ideal breeding ground. When bacteria combine with excess oil and dead skin cells, they can further clog the hair follicles and contribute to the persistence of blackheads.
