👉 Approved pimples, also known as cystic acne lesions, are a type of acne that forms when a hair follicle becomes blocked with oil and dead skin cells, leading to inflammation and the formation of pus-filled cysts. Unlike regular pimples, which are usually red and inflamed on the surface, approved pimples are larger, deeper, and often contain pus, forming a visible bump or cyst. These lesions typically appear as red, swollen nodules under the skin and can cause significant discomfort and scarring if left untreated. The term "approved" refers to their classification as a recognized form of acne, distinct from non-acne lesions like whiteheads or blackheads, and they often require medical intervention such as antibiotics or topical treatments to resolve.
