Comedo occurs when the follicular canal of the [[sebaceous]] follicle becomes blocked due to excessive keratinization. Horn lamellae condense into a plug which completely closes the exit of the follicular canal. The [[melanin]] stored in combination with the [[oxygen]] of the air can cause the plug to turn dark.
