👉 Acne, commonly referred to as pimples, arises from a combination of factors including excess sebum production, clogged pores, and bacterial infection. When oil glands in the skin overproduce sebum, it can mix with dead skin cells and bacteria, forming a plug that gets trapped in hair follicles. This blockage leads to inflammation and the formation of pimples, which can manifest as blackheads, whiteheads, red pimples, or cysts. Hormonal changes, genetics, stress, and certain skincare products can exacerbate these conditions, making acne a common yet complex skin issue.
