👉 Alarm pimples, also known as inflammatory cysts or dermal papules, are a type of skin lesion that appears as small, raised bumps or pimples often accompanied by redness and tenderness. They typically form when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells, sebum, and bacteria, leading to inflammation. Unlike regular pimples, alarm pimples do not usually rupture and discharge pus; instead, they remain closed and can be painful. These cysts are more common in areas with dense hair growth, such as the face and scalp, and can be a sign of underlying skin issues like acne or hormonal imbalances. Treatment often involves gentle skincare routines, avoiding picking at the bumps, and sometimes medical intervention to prevent infection or scarring.
