👉 Pimples, medically known as acne, are small, inflamed bumps on the skin that typically appear on the face, neck, or chest. They result from a combination of factors, including excess oil production, clogged pores, bacteria, and inflammation. When pores become clogged with dead skin cells and oil, bacteria can enter and cause irritation. This leads to inflammation, which manifests as a pimple, which can vary in size, shape, and color. Some pimples are blackheads or whiteheads due to oxidation, while others may be red, painful, and filled with pus, indicating a more severe infection. The severity of pimples can range from mild to severe, and they often require treatment to prevent further breakouts and manage existing ones.
