👉 Alto pimples, also known as comedones, are a common type of acne characterized by small, round bumps or whiteheads (closed comedones) and blackheads (open comedones) that appear on the skin, typically on the face. These pimples form when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells, sebum (oil produced by the skin), and bacteria. The clogging process starts when excess sebum mixes with dead skin cells, creating a plug that gets trapped in the follicle. Over time, bacteria can infect the clogged area, leading to inflammation and the formation of pimples. Alto pimples are often linked to hormonal changes, genetics, and lifestyle factors like diet and stress.
