👉 Pimples, medically known as acne vulgaris, are a common skin condition caused by a combination of factors including excess sebum production, clogged pores, and bacterial infection. When pores become blocked by dead skin cells, dirt, and oil, bacteria can thrive, leading to inflammation and the formation of pimples. Hormonal changes, genetics, stress, and certain medications can also contribute to acne. Treatment typically involves a combination of topical and oral medications to reduce inflammation, unclog pores, and prevent bacterial growth, alongside lifestyle adjustments like maintaining good hygiene and avoiding excessive use of comedogenic products.
