👉 Adam's pimples, also known as cystic acne, are a type of acne characterized by large, inflamed, and often painful lumps beneath the skin's surface. These pimples form when hair follicles become clogged with a mixture of dead skin cells, sebum (oil produced by the skin), and bacteria. When this blockage occurs deep within the follicle, it can lead to inflammation, causing the characteristic redness, swelling, and pus-filled appearance. Unlike regular pimples, which are usually smaller and less severe, cystic acne can be significantly larger and more painful, often requiring medical intervention for effective treatment.
