👉 Allowed pimples, also known as non-inflammatory acne lesions, are typically characterized by small, closed comedones (blackheads or whiteheads) and non-inflammatory papules or pustules. These lesions do not involve inflammation of the hair follicle, meaning they are not painful or swollen. Common examples include microcomedones, which are the earliest stage of acne formation and appear as tiny, plug-like bumps or whiteheads; and microcystic papules, which are small, red, tender bumps that can be painful. These types of pimples usually resolve without scarring and are often considered less severe than inflammatory acne, which involves deeper inflammation and can lead to more significant scarring.
