👉 Atlantic pimples, also known as Atlantic nodules or Atlantic rosettes, are a type of skin lesion characterized by small, firm, raised bumps that often appear in clusters on the trunk, arms, and legs. These lesions are typically round or oval, with a diameter ranging from 1 to 2 centimeters and can vary in color from pink to brown. They are usually painless but may become inflamed or itchy. Atlantic pimples are believed to be caused by a combination of factors, including genetic predisposition, hormonal influences, and possibly an immune response. Unlike acne, which involves clogged pores and bacteria, Atlantic pimples are more closely associated with the overproduction of sebum and the accumulation of dead skin cells. They are relatively common in adults, particularly those with fair skin, and can be more prevalent during puberty or later in life. Treatment often focuses on managing symptoms and preventing recurrence, including topical creams, oral medications, and lifestyle adjustments.
