👉 Atom pimples, also known as microcomedones, are tiny, closed bumps on the skin caused by the accumulation of sebum, dead skin cells, and sometimes hair follicle openings. They form when these components clog the pores, creating small depressions or pimples. These can be open (blackheads) if the clogged pore becomes exposed to air, turning dark, or closed (whiteheads) if it remains sealed. Common triggers include hormonal changes, genetics, and lifestyle factors like diet and stress. While often harmless, they can indicate underlying skin issues and may require skincare intervention to prevent further breakouts.
