👉 Attempting pimples, also known as cystic acne, occur when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells and excess oil, leading to inflammation and the formation of painful, swollen cysts. This process typically starts with a blackhead or whitehead, where oil and dead skin cells block the follicle's opening. Bacteria then invade, causing infection and swelling. As the cyst grows, it can become painful and may drain, leaving behind a scar. This intense inflammation is what makes attempting pimples particularly uncomfortable and often requires medical intervention to resolve.
