Pimples (Acne) usually occurs when the openings of hair follicles become clogged and blocked with oil and dead skin cells. If the clogged pore becomes infected with bacteria, it forms a pimple, which is small red bump with pus at its tip. Pimples usually occur more among adolescents and young adults as well as in those with oily skin. The usual treatment consists of ccleansing your face gently twice daily, application of an anti- pimple cream which can be purchased at a local pharmacist. As you grow older, the problem will abate until it finally stops.
