👉 Alignment pimples, also known as cystic acne, occur when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells and excess oil, leading to inflammation and the formation of pus-filled cysts. This happens when pores become blocked by a mixture of sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria, often exacerbated by hormonal changes or stress. The blockage causes the follicle to swell and become infected, resulting in painful lumps or cysts beneath the skin's surface. These pimples can be deep and inflamed, sometimes leading to scarring if not treated properly.
