👉 Acne vulgaris, commonly known as pimples, are a prevalent skin condition caused by the overproduction of sebum, clogged hair follicles, and bacterial infection. When excess oil mixes with dead skin cells, it can block pores, leading to inflammation and the formation of pimples. These lesions can appear as red, swollen bumps, whiteheads, blackheads, or pustules and are often accompanied by pain or tenderness. Acne can affect various parts of the face, neck, and even the back, and its severity ranges from mild to severe. Factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, stress, and certain skincare products can exacerbate acne. Effective management typically involves a combination of topical treatments, oral medications, lifestyle adjustments, and in some cases, professional interventions like laser therapy or chemical peels.
