In the region of the mouth of the sebaceous duct thickening of the stratum corneum occurs. The scales of the dermis come off much faster than usual. The duct is blocked by these scales. For this reason, the sebaceous gland is stretched by secretion secreted, which can not escape through the contaminated duct.

Comedon is represented by the sebaceous gland, which, due to clogging, can not release fat. This bacon takes on a white color, which is contained inside the eel. When the comedon leaves the surface of the dermis, oxidation of this secret is noted. Black color of the head of the eel is explained by the fact that melanin is mixed with the fat.
