👉 Arnold pimples, also known as cystic acne nodules, are a severe form of acne characterized by large, painful, and inflamed lesions that can leave scars. They develop when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells, oil, and bacteria, leading to the formation of cysts beneath the skin's surface. These cysts can rupture, causing pus-filled pimples and further inflammation. Unlike regular pimples, Arnold pimples are deep-rooted, often painful, and can persist for weeks or even months before healing. They typically appear on the face, chest, or back and are more common in individuals with sensitive skin or those who have a genetic predisposition to severe acne. Treatment usually involves a combination of topical and oral medications, lifestyle changes, and sometimes professional medical interventions to manage inflammation and prevent recurrence.
