👉 Apple pimples, also known as comedonal acne, are a common type of acne that occurs due to clogged pores on the skin. They form when hair follicles become plugged with a mixture of sebum (oil produced by the skin), dead skin cells, and bacteria. This blockage creates a small, often red or white bump on the skin's surface. Unlike more severe forms of acne like blackheads or whiteheads, apple pimples are typically less inflamed and tend to appear on the cheeks, forehead, and chin. They are usually harmless but can be a precursor to more serious acne issues if left untreated.
