👉 Pimples, or acne, are a common skin condition caused by the clogging and inflammation of hair follicles and oil glands. When excess sebum (oil) from the skin mixes with dead skin cells, bacteria, and other impurities, it can lead to the formation of comedones (blackheads or whiteheads). If these blocked pores become infected, they can inflame, resulting in pimples, which may appear as red, swollen bumps on the skin. Factors like hormonal changes, genetics, stress, and poor skincare can exacerbate acne. Proper skincare routines, including cleansing, exfoliating, and using non-comedogenic products, can help manage and reduce the occurrence of pimples.
