Pimples are one of the most common skin concerns faced by people of all ages, especially during adolescence and early adulthood. They occur when hair follicles become clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to inflammation on the skin’s surface. Hormonal changes, stress, poor skincare habits, unhealthy diet, and environmental factors can all contribute to the development of pimples. While they are not usually harmful, pimples can affect a person’s confidence and overall skin health. Understanding their causes and adopting proper skincare and natural remedies can help manage and prevent breakouts effectively.
