👉 Automated pimples, also known as cystic acne, are a severe form of acne characterized by large, painful, and often inflamed lumps under the skin. These pimples occur when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum) and dead skin cells, leading to bacterial infection. When bacteria such as Propionibacterium acnes become trapped, they cause inflammation and swelling, resulting in the formation of pus-filled cysts. These cysts can rupture, leading to even more inflammation and potentially causing scarring. Automated pimples are typically deeper and more painful than other types of acne, often requiring medical intervention for effective treatment.
