Pimples are pus-filled; sometimes, it is painful, and acne sometimes causes bumps on the skin. This condition affects your skin\u2019s oil glands, probably starting in the teenage years and continuing after that age. Acne can appear in different body parts, including the face, neck, shoulders, arms, back, etc.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Types of acne<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Several types of acne include:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Fungal acne that occurs when yeast builds up in your hair follicles.

Such pimples can cause scars on the skin. Hormonal acne happens due to the overproduction of sebum that blocks the skin\u2019s pores. Nodular acne is a bit of a serious skin condition in which pimples on the skin become lumps and cause mild pain for a little longer.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Causes of acne<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Acne happens due to clogged hair follicles or skin pores. Hair follicles are like small tubes that contain several glands and different materials that can clog these follicles. Some other factors behind the blockage of hair follicles include sebum, bacteria, hormonal changes, dead skin cells, and small environmental pollutants. There are some potential triggers of acne outbreaks that you should be familiar with. Such triggers could be tight-fitting clothing, contact with synthetic materials, use of other\u2019s personal care products, side effects of medications, stress, hormonal disturbance, consumption of unsuitable food products, intake of high-sugar food, and unhealthy living style.
