👉 Ate pimples, also known as blackheads or comedones with a dark center, are a common skin condition characterized by clogged pores. They occur when hair follicles become blocked with sebum (oil) and dead skin cells, leading to the formation of small, dark spots on the skin's surface. These pores can become inflamed, resulting in red, swollen bumps that may appear black or dark brown due to the oxidation of sebum. Ate pimples are typically found on the face, particularly around the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), but can appear on other areas as well. They are often treated with over-the-counter products containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to unclog pores and reduce inflammation.
