👉 Analog pimples, also known as whiteheads or closed comedones, are a common skin condition that resemble acne but occur on non-acne areas like the forehead, cheeks, or nose. They form when hair follicles become clogged with a mixture of sebum (oil), dead skin cells, and bacteria. Unlike open comedones (blackheads) that appear as small, dark spots on the surface of the skin, analog pimples remain beneath the skin's surface because the pore is blocked from opening. This blockage prevents oxidation, resulting in a white or closed appearance. The buildup of these clogged follicles can lead to inflammation and the formation of red, swollen bumps.
