👉 Arrow pimples, also known as microcystic or follicular keratosis papulosa, are small, round bumps that appear around the hair follicles, typically on the face. They are characterized by their tiny, often red or pink appearance and can be filled with pus or have a crusty texture. These pimples result from blocked hair follicles, where sebum and dead skin cells accumulate, causing inflammation and the formation of small, hard bumps. They are usually harmless but can be a cosmetic concern due to their appearance. The exact cause is not fully understood, but factors like genetics, hormonal changes, and environmental influences may play a role in their development.
