In: Conditions and Diseases [Edit categories]

Answer:

Its a hereditary and genetic disease that makes your hair follicles plug the pore, and making a well of a natural substance called Keratin. Try AmLactin, that usually makes them less noticeable. It cannot be removed or cured, and it may go away as you grow. You can get AmLactin at any dermatology website or office. Good Luck!
