👉 Artificial pimples, also known as acne mechanica, are a type of skin condition caused by physical irritation or pressure on the skin, often exacerbated by certain activities. Unlike typical acne, which is primarily linked to hormonal changes and excess oil production, artificial pimples result from external factors such as tight clothing, friction, or rubbing against rough surfaces. These actions can lead to micro-tears in the skin, creating small bumps or pimples. The most common areas affected are the face, neck, and chest, particularly around the T-zone. Treatment typically involves gentle skincare routines, avoiding harsh products, and addressing any underlying skin conditions to minimize irritation and promote healing.
