👉 Antarctica pimples, also known as "ice pimples" or "frost noggers," are a unique type of skin condition that occurs in Antarctica due to the extreme cold and dry conditions. These pimples are essentially bacterial infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, which thrives in the freezing environment. When skin is damaged or broken, bacteria can enter and multiply, leading to inflammation and the formation of small, red, pus-filled bumps. The harsh climate exacerbates this issue by causing the skin to dry out and crack, further facilitating bacterial entry. While not directly caused by human activity, the prevalence of these pimples highlights the challenges of maintaining skin health in such an extreme environment.
