👉 Act pimples, also known as comedones, are a common skin condition resulting from clogged pores. They occur when hair follicles become blocked by a mixture of sebum (oil), dead skin cells, and sometimes bacteria. This blockage can lead to two types of pimples: open comedones, which appear as blackheads due to the oxidation of sebum at the surface, and closed comedones, which appear as whiteheads when the clogged pore remains beneath the skin's surface. Factors like hormonal changes, genetics, and lifestyle can contribute to their formation, making them a prevalent issue in both men and women.
