👉 Attachment pimples, also known as cystic acne, are a type of acne characterized by large, inflamed, and often painful lesions that form when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells, excess oil, and bacteria. These pimples develop when a hair follicle becomes blocked, usually by a mix of sebum (oil) and dead skin cells, leading to bacterial infection. The blockage can cause inflammation, swelling, and the formation of pus-filled cysts beneath the skin's surface. These cysts can become infected, leading to further complications and larger, more painful lesions. Treatment often involves topical or oral antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide, and lifestyle changes to reduce oil production and prevent future breakouts.
