👉 Asks pimples, also known as whiteheads or closed comedones, occur when hair follicles become clogged with sebum (oil), dead skin cells, and bacteria. When pores become blocked, the trapped material forms a small, closed plug that appears as a bump or pimple on the skin's surface. These pimples are typically smaller and less inflamed than open comedones (blackheads) because the pore remains closed. The clogged follicle can lead to inflammation and the development of more severe acne lesions, making asks pimples a common precursor to other forms of acne.
