Pimples
Acne is a disease, and pimples are a symptom of it. When you have acne, you may get pimples on your face.
What is Pimples?
Acne is a disease, while pimples are a symptom of acne. There are different types of acne like comedonal acne, baby acne, drug-induced acne, acne breakouts, etc. Adolescent acne is the most popular type that occurs in teenagers during puberty. Pimples result from the over-secretion of sebum from the sebaceous gland, clogging of pores by sebum/dead skin cells, growth of acne-causing bacteria, and inflammation of pores. They can cause different symptoms such as redness, bumps, blood, pus, etc. Comedone is also a type of pimple.
Symptoms
Papules: Small bumps called papules can become warm and painful when inflamed.
Blackheads: Blackheads are open pores that contain extra oil and dead skin, leading to a dark spot.
Whiteheads: Whiteheads are closed bumps caused by oil and dead skin that appear white or yellow.
Nodules: These are irregularly shaped masses that can be painful and found deep in the skin.
Pustules: Pustules are pimples filled with pus. They resemble whiteheads surrounded by discolored rings. Picking them can cause scarring.
Cysts: Pimples filled with thick fluid, dead white blood cells, tissue and bacteria are called cysts. They can lead to scarring.
Causes
Pimples form when sex hormones increase during puberty and cause too much sebum production. The hair follicle becomes blocked by sebum, forming a comedone. Bacteria infect the comedone, leading to inflammation and an acne breakout.
1. Hormonal change
Hormonal changes can cause acne, particularly in women during their menstrual cycle due to increased male sex hormone secretion. These pimples will usually go away after the period ends.
2. Food and weather
Some diet preferences and weather conditions may be prone to pimples formation: peanuts, chocolate, deep-fried food, sun radiation, hot weather, constipation problem, poor digestion, etc.
3. Tiredness
Fatigue can be caused by overworking, not getting enough sleep, stress, and anxiety leading to hormonal changes.
4. Chemicals and makeup residue
Exposure to certain irritants, such as steroids, cosmetics, oils, and medications, can lead to skin irritation and the development of blemishes.
