👉 Acne vulgaris, commonly known as pimples, is a skin condition characterized by the formation of red, swollen, and sometimes painful bumps on the skin. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to inflammation. Factors such as hormonal changes, genetics, and environmental influences can trigger these clogged follicles, resulting in the development of pimples. These lesions can appear as blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, or cysts, and while often harmless, they can be uncomfortable and affect self-esteem. Treatment options range from topical medications to oral antibiotics and lifestyle changes, depending on the severity of the condition.
