👉 Alberta pimples, also known as cystic acne or nodular acne, are a severe form of acne characterized by large, painful, and often inflamed lesions. These pimples form when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells, oil, and bacteria, leading to the formation of a pus-filled cyst beneath the skin's surface. Unlike regular pimples, which are small and red, Alberta pimples can be much larger, often reaching the size of a pea or even a marble, and can cause significant scarring if not treated promptly. The inflammation associated with Alberta pimples can lead to deep, scarring nodules and cysts, making them a challenging condition to treat and often requiring medical intervention.
