👉 Amplifier pimples, also known as cystic acne or nodular acne, are a more severe form of acne characterized by larger, inflamed lesions that can be painful and leave behind scarring. They occur when hair follicles become clogged with sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to the formation of painful cysts or nodules. Unlike typical pimples, which are small red bumps, amplifier pimples can grow significantly larger, often reaching the size of a marble or even a small pea, and may cause significant discomfort due to their depth and inflammation. These lesions can also lead to scarring, especially if they become infected or if the skin heals improperly. The development of amplifier pimples is often linked to hormonal changes, genetics, and poor skincare habits, making them a challenging form of acne to manage.
