👉 The Austin Pimples, also known as "Austin Acne" or "Austin's Pimples," refer to a specific type of acne characterized by large, inflamed, and often painful pimples, typically found on the face. This condition is named after Austin F. Austin, a dermatologist who described it in the early 20th century. The pimples are often accompanied by redness, swelling, and sometimes a white or yellowish crust. They result from a combination of factors including excess sebum production, clogged pores, bacterial infection (most commonly by Propionibacterium acnes), and inflammation. The term "Austin Pimples" is often used colloquially to describe a particularly severe form of acne that can be more challenging to treat than typical acne due to its intensity and potential for scarring.
