The distinction between blackheads and sebaceous filaments

The pours of sebaceous filaments are grey or yellow. In comparison, blackheads are slightly elevated, black in color, and seem solid or like a congealed plug. They are also much more significant and broader than sebaceous filaments. Blackheads are a sort of obstruction, while sebaceous filaments are a part of your skin.
