👉 Ambient pimples, also known as whiteheads or closed comedones, are a common skin condition characterized by small, hard bumps beneath the skin's surface. They occur when hair follicles become clogged with a mixture of sebum (oil), dead skin cells, and bacteria. When the follicle is completely blocked, the trapped material forms a plug, creating a whitehead visible on the skin's surface. These pimples are typically painless but can cause irritation if they become inflamed or infected, leading to red, swollen bumps. Factors like hormonal changes, genetics, and environmental conditions can contribute to the development of ambient pimples.
