👉 Advance pimples, also known as cystic acne, are a more severe form of acne characterized by larger, more inflamed lesions that can lead to permanent scarring. They occur when a hair follicle becomes blocked with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, causing pus to accumulate. This blockage can extend deep into the skin, leading to the formation of a cystic lesion that is often painful and can rupture, leaving behind a scar. Unlike typical pimples, which are usually red and swollen, advance pimples are larger, more painful, and have a white or yellow center due to the pus buildup. Early intervention with proper skincare and medical treatment is crucial to prevent these lesions from progressing and causing long-term damage.
