👉 Acne, commonly referred to as pimples, are a skin condition characterized by inflamed, red, and often painful bumps that appear on the face, back, chest, or shoulders. They occur when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells and excess oil (sebum), leading to bacterial infections. Factors such as hormonal changes, genetics, stress, and certain medications can contribute to acne development. When pores become blocked, bacteria multiply, causing inflammation and the formation of pimples, which can range from blackheads and whiteheads to more severe cysts and nodules. Proper skincare, including cleansing, exfoliating, and using non-comedogenic products, can help manage acne.
