👉 While many people associate pimples with severe acne, it's important to note that not all pimples are a sign of poor skin health. Mild, non-inflammatory acne, such as whiteheads (closed comedones) and blackheads (open comedones), are common and generally not harmful. These types of pimples occur when pores become clogged with dead skin cells and oil, but they usually clear up on their own with time. More severe conditions like cysts or abscesses, however, should be addressed by a dermatologist as they can indicate underlying skin issues or infections. Understanding the difference between mild and severe acne helps in managing expectations and choosing appropriate skincare routines.
