👉 Activated pimples, also known as cystic acne, are a more severe form of acne characterized by larger, deeper lesions that often appear as red, swollen bumps or pustules filled with pus. These pimples form when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells, oil, and bacteria, leading to inflammation. Unlike regular acne, which typically presents as small, red bumps or whiteheads, activated pimples are larger and can develop into abscesses, which are painful, pus-filled cysts. The inflammation and infection associated with activated pimples can cause significant discomfort and may lead to scarring if not properly treated.
