👉 Articles in the context of acne, specifically pimples, refer to the inflammatory lesions that form on the skin's surface due to clogged pores and bacterial infections. There are three main types: open comedones (blackheads), closed comedones (whiteheads), and inflammatory lesions like papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. Open comedones occur when sebum and dead skin cells block pores without causing inflammation; whiteheads form similarly but are sealed by skin; and inflammatory lesions result from bacterial infection and immune response, leading to redness, swelling, and sometimes pus-filled bumps. Understanding these articles helps in identifying the stage of acne and choosing appropriate treatments.
