👉 Pimples, or acne, occur when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to inflammation and the formation of red, swollen bumps on the skin. This process can be triggered by various factors including hormonal changes, genetics, stress, and certain foods. When pores become blocked, bacteria can multiply, causing infection and further inflammation. Common types of pimples include blackheads (open comedones), whiteheads (closed comedones), papules (small red bumps), pustules (smaller red bumps with pus), nodules (large, painful cysts beneath the skin), and cysts (deep, painful lesions). Proper skincare routines, including cleansing, exfoliating, and using non-comedogenic products, can help prevent and manage pimples by reducing clogged pores and bacterial growth.
