👉 Acne, commonly referred to as pimples, is a skin condition caused by blocked or clogged pores, typically due to excess oil production, dead skin cells, and bacteria. When hair follicles become inflamed, they can lead to the formation of pimples, which manifest as red, swollen, and sometimes painful bumps on the skin. Factors like hormonal changes, genetics, and environmental influences can exacerbate acne, making it a common issue among teenagers but also affecting adults. Treatment options range from topical medications and oral antibiotics to lifestyle changes and advanced therapies, aiming to clear up existing pimples and prevent future breakouts.
