3. Pimples – According to Christian Nordqvist of medical news today .A pimple is a
small pustule or papule. Pimples are small skin lesions or inflammations of
the skin - they develop when sebaceous glands (oil glands) become
clogged and infected, leading to swollen,red lesions filled with pus.

Causes of
Pimples
Hormones
Extra sebum
Follicle fallout
Bacteria
Inflammation
6. Extra sebum
– Extra sebum,When the sebaceous gland is stimulated by
androgens, it produces extra sebum (oil). As the sebum
makes its way up the follicle towards the skin’s surface, it
mixes with common skin bacteria and dead skin cells that
have been shed from the lining of the follicle. While this
process is normal, the presence of extra sebum in the follicle
increases the chances of clogging which can cause pimples.
8. Follicle fallout
– Dead skin cells within the follicle usually shed
gradually and are dislodged onto the skin’s surface. In
people with overactive sebaceous glands — (including
almost everyone during puberty) — these cells are
shed more rapidly. When this happens, the dead skin
cells mix with the excess sebum and form a plug in
the follicle, preventing the skin from finishing its
natural process of renewal.
10. Bacteria – Bacteria, The bacteria exists in all skin types; it’s part of the skin’s
natural sebum maintenance system. Once a follicle is plugged,
however, acne bacteria multiply rapidly, creating the chemical reaction
that results in inflammation in the follicle and surrounding skin.
11. Inflammation
– When your body comes in contact with unwanted bacteria, it sends an army of
white blood cells to attack the intruders. This process is called chemotaxis; or,
the inflammatory response. This response is what makes pimples red, swollen
and painful. The inflammatory response is different for everyone.
13. Wash your face
– Base on wikihow on How to Stop or Cure Pimples, Wash
your face twice a day. Washing your face removes dirt,
impurities and any excess oil that has built up on the
surface of your skin. Ideally, you should wash your face
three a day, in the morning and noon and in the evening,
using warm water and a mild facial cleanser. Use a clean
dry towel to pat your face dry.
15. Use a noncomedogenic
moisturizer
– Use a noncomedogenic moisturizer. After washing it is important to apply a good
moisturizer to hydrate the skin and prevent it from become dry and irritated.
However, if you suffer from pimples it is important that you use the right type of
moisturizer for your skin type. Heavy, oily moisturizers can clog your pores and lead
to further breakouts. Look for moisturizers which say "noncomedogenic" on the
label -- this means that they should not cause your skin to
16. Breakout
– Breakout, Avoid touching your face or popping pimples.
Hands come into contact with more dirt and bacteria
throughout the day than any other part of the body,
which is why you should avoid touching your face at all
costs. In addition to spreading bacteria and risking
infection, touching spots and pimples can cause them to
become irritated and inflamed, thus worsening their
appearance and prolonging healing time.
