👉 Pimples, or acne, arise from a complex interplay of hormonal changes, excess oil production, and bacterial activity on the skin. When hormones like testosterone surge, they stimulate sebaceous glands to produce more sebum, an oily substance that can clog pores. If these pores become blocked by dead skin cells and bacteria, particularly Propionibacterium acnes, it leads to inflammation and the formation of pimples. Factors like genetics, diet, stress, and skincare routines can exacerbate this process. Treatments often focus on reducing inflammation, unclogging pores, and preventing bacterial growth through topical or oral medications.
