What are the reasons that people get pimples?

Acne is serious: It's a combination of heredity, teen hormones, bacteria that you can't remove by washing, and the other changes of youth. Diet's role is minor, and it is not lifestyle-related. The good news is that all acne can be managed as a chronic disease until it remits by itself. Please get with your physician.

Natural Process: Pimples occur when glands in our skin get blocked and what they secrete collects and causes pressure. The immediate response is inflammation (red, hot, tender swelling). This is the body increasing the blood flow to the injury to bring healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away. Gentle cleansing and avoid picking/squeezing lets nature take its course.
