👉 Pimples, or acne, arise from a complex interplay of factors including hormonal changes, excess sebum production, clogged pores, and bacterial infection. When oil glands in the skin produce more sebum than necessary, it can mix with dead skin cells and bacteria, leading to the formation of comedones (blackheads or whiteheads). If these pores become inflamed due to bacteria like Propionibacterium acnes, they can develop into pimples, cysts, or nodules. Hormonal fluctuations, stress, diet, and genetics also contribute to acne's onset and severity. Effective management often involves a combination of topical treatments, oral medications, and lifestyle adjustments to address these underlying causes.
