👉 Academy pimples, also known as comedones or blackheads, are a common skin condition often associated with acne-prone skin. They form when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells, sebum (oil produced by the skin), and sometimes bacteria. There are two main types: open comedones, which appear as small, round bumps or blackheads due to the oil and dead skin cells blocking the follicle's opening; and closed comedones, which look like small, dark spots beneath the skin's surface. These pimples can vary in size and color, from barely visible to large, inflamed lesions. Factors like hormonal changes, genetics, diet, and stress can exacerbate their occurrence. Treatment often involves topical or oral medications to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and prevent new breakouts.
