👉 Pimples, scientifically known as acne vulgaris, arise from a combination of factors including excess sebum production, clogged hair follicles, and bacterial infection. When pores become blocked by dead skin cells and oil, bacteria like
Cutibacterium acnes
can proliferate, leading to inflammation and the formation of pimples. Hormonal changes, genetics, stress, and certain medications can exacerbate these conditions. While often viewed negatively, pimples can also serve as indicators of underlying health issues, such as hormonal imbalances or immune system disorders, making their examination and management crucial for overall health.
