👉 Africa pimples, also known as cystic acne, are a severe form of acne characterized by large, painful, pus-filled lesions that can leave deep scars. They occur when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to inflammation and the formation of cysts. These cysts can rupture, causing the pus to drain and leaving behind a scarred area. Factors like genetics, hormonal imbalances, stress, and poor hygiene can contribute to their development. Unlike regular acne, which often presents as small, red bumps, Africa pimples are more painful and can significantly impact one's quality of life due to their size and potential for scarring. Treatment typically involves a combination of topical medications, oral antibiotics, and lifestyle changes to manage symptoms and prevent recurrence.
