Best Answer

They both are clogged pores, however a blackhead known as an open comedone, takes on a darker color because the sebum and debris have oxidized. A whitehead, known as a closed comedone, has not reached the surface and has not oxidized (a reaction when a substance hits oxygen). There are also pustules where inflammation and pus (infection) are present. A papule is a red, inflamed bump with no noticable pus.
