👉 Ash pimples, also known as milia or comedones, are small, white or yellowish bumps that appear on the skin's surface, often on the face. They are caused by the clogging of hair follicles with dead skin cells, keratin, and sebum, a natural oil produced by the skin. This blockage prevents the normal shedding of these cells, leading to the formation of tiny cysts beneath the skin's surface. Ash pimples are common in people with oily or acne-prone skin, and they typically appear during adolescence but can occur at any age. They are usually harmless but can be uncomfortable and may require treatment to prevent scarring or further skin issues.
