👉 Atlas pimples, also known as perioral acne, are a common skin condition characterized by inflamed or infected pores located around the mouth and lips. These pimples typically appear as small, red bumps or pustules with a white or yellowish center, often accompanied by a crusty or scabby appearance. They result from the blockage of hair follicles and sebaceous glands, leading to bacterial infection and inflammation. Atlas pimples are usually more prevalent in individuals with a family history of acne or those who have sensitive skin, and they can be exacerbated by factors such as hormonal changes, stress, and poor skincare habits. Treatment often involves gentle cleansing, the use of non-comedogenic products, and in some cases, topical or oral medications to reduce inflammation and prevent infection.
