What are the causes and treatments for white heads?

My skin is plagued with white heads, mostly on my chin and jaw line. Literally hundreds. What causes them and how are they treated? I try popping them but it just makes new ones come up.

What's your current skincare routine? Is this normal for you or did these breakouts just pop up recently?

Well, there could be other causes too but from what I know whiteheads are just a clogged closed pore and if you pop them all that bad stuff inside is just spreading to the other pores causing them to clog up too. They can be treated with benzoyl peroxide, adapalene, BHA's etc.
