Pimple is a result of a blockage of the skin's pore. Pimples are small skin lesions or inflammations commonly arising from clogged or infected pores. Pimples can be a source of social isolation that can lead to frustration and depression. Pimples affect almost 90% of the population at some time during their lives. Pimples can form when dead skin cells mix with extra sebum (oily secretion of the sebaceous gland) plug the opening of hair follicles and trap the normal bacteria found on the skin. Pimples commonly show up during adolescence. Although pimples affect around 20 million teenagers in the United States, there is a growing number of adults with skin blemishes. Pimples can occur throughout adulthood, depending on your hormonal activity, heredity and hygiene. Majority of teenagers and adolescents experience pimple outbreaks. This happens when the skin tries to adjust to hormonal changes typically during puberty. However, even adults can have pimples, especially those who are most exposed to dirt and experience a lot of stress. Also women typically develop pimple outbreaks during their menstrual cycle when their hormones surge before or during their menstrual cycle.

Pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads can form on the face, chest, arms, neck, and back. Acne can range from mild to severe and can last a few weeks, months, years or can come and go throughout life. Several factors contribute to the onset of pimples. Both adult and teenage acne is usually caused by hormonal changes in the body. Hormonal Acne is very common among young women and some men. Most importantly, elevation of hormones produced during puberty or the menstrual cycle in women result in the hormone by-product called DHT. This hormone by product overstimulates the oil gland resulting in plugging of the pore and acne production. Clogged pores or follicles are a primary cause of pimples. Skin bacteria ( Propionibacterium acnes) multiply in clogged pores where they release a substance that can produce irritation and inflammation. The wall of the pores can sometimes burst, spreading inflammation to the surrounding skin. This results in acne lesions that go from blackheads to pimples to nodules. Common over-the-counter medications for pimples are Benzoyl peroxide and/or salicylic acid. Both medications can be found in many creams and gels used to treat acne through topical application. Regular skin cleansing regimen to rid your pores of unwanted particles and dirt.
