👉 Pimples, also known as acne, are small, inflamed bumps on the skin caused by a combination of factors including excess oil production, clogged pores, bacterial infection, and inflammation. When hair follicles become blocked with dead skin cells and oil, bacteria can multiply, leading to inflammation and the formation of pimples. Hormonal changes, stress, and genetics can also contribute to acne development. These bumps can appear as whiteheads (closed pores with oil trapped inside), blackheads (open pores with oxidized oil), or red, swollen pimples (inflammatory acne).
