👉 Abstract pimples, also known as microcystic or follicular cysts, represent an early stage of acne formation characterized by small, round, and often painful bumps beneath the skin's surface. Unlike larger, more visible pimples, these cysts develop when hair follicles become clogged with sebum (oil), dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to inflammation and the formation of a fluid-filled pocket. This process can result in tiny, hard lumps or pimples that are usually painless but can cause discomfort and lead to scarring if not treated promptly. The term "abstract" in this context highlights their microscopic and often imperceptible nature, distinguishing them from the more common, larger pimples that are visible to the naked eye.
