👉 Pimples, medically known as acne, occur when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to inflammation and the formation of small, often red, bumps on the skin's surface. These lesions typically appear on areas with high sebum production, such as the face, neck, and chest. The process begins when pores become blocked by a mixture of sebum (oil produced by the sebaceous glands), dead skin cells, and bacteria. This blockage can cause irritation and inflammation, resulting in the characteristic appearance of pimples. Factors like hormonal changes, genetics, stress, and certain skincare products can exacerbate this condition. Treatment often involves a combination of topical medications, oral antibiotics, and lifestyle adjustments to manage oil production and prevent future breakouts.
