👉 Adams pimples, also known as comedones, are a common type of acne lesion characterized by small, round bumps or whiteheads (closed comedones) and blackheads (open comedones). They form when hair follicles become clogged with sebum, dead skin cells, and sometimes bacteria. In the case of Adams pimples, the clogging typically occurs at the hair follicle's opening, preventing proper drainage and leading to inflammation. This can result in either a whitehead, where the clogged pore remains closed and appears white, or a blackhead, where oxidation occurs, causing the clog to turn black. These lesions are usually harmless but can be a sign of underlying acne issues, making proper skincare important for prevention and management.
