👉 Acne, commonly known as pimples, are a prevalent skin condition characterized by the formation of red, swollen, and often painful bumps on the skin. These pimples typically arise from a combination of excess sebum (oil) production, clogged pores, and bacterial infection, primarily by Propionibacterium acnes. When hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells and oil, bacteria can multiply, leading to inflammation and the formation of pimples. Factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, stress, and certain medications can exacerbate acne. Treatment options range from topical treatments to oral medications and, in severe cases, dermatological procedures.
