👉 Albany pimples, also known as comedones, are a common skin condition characterized by small, round bumps or whiteheads (closed comedones) and blackheads (open comedones) that appear on the skin. They form when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells, sebum (oil), and sometimes bacteria. In Albany, this condition is particularly prevalent due to the area's humid climate and high humidity levels, which can exacerbate oil production and clog pores. Albany pimples can range from mild to severe, often leading to inflammation and discomfort if left untreated. Treatment options include topical retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics, and, in severe cases, professional skin treatments.
