Are those blackheads or sebaceous filaments?

Blackheads are plugs of oil and dead cells that have darkened at the surface, and they sit proud of the pore. Sebaceous filaments are the fine grey dots on the nose and chin; they are a normal part of the pore and always refill. Extraction clears both for a while, but only blackheads are a blockage worth treating.
