👉 Pimples typically appear as small, red, inflamed bumps on the skin's surface, often accompanied by a white or yellowish center known as a pustule. These lesions result from blocked hair follicles, where excess oil and dead skin cells accumulate, leading to inflammation. The redness and swelling are caused by the body's immune response to this blockage, and the pus within the pustule is a mixture of bacteria, dead skin cells, and inflammatory fluids. Over time, these pimples can rupture, releasing the pus and leading to a white or yellowish crust on the skin's surface. Factors like hormonal changes, genetics, and environmental influences can contribute to their formation.
