  • Topic: Pimples.

  • Why do we get pimples?

  • Because they don't want me to look handsome.

  • No.

  • Pimples are caused due to the activity of sebaceous gland present inside our skin.

  • This gland produces an oily substance called sebum.

  • Sebum comes up to the skin surface through a pore and moisturizes our hair and skin.

  • Like a moisturizer.

  • Absolutely.

  • However, sometimes the pore gets blocked due to dead skin cells.

  • Due to this blockage, the sebum gets accumulated, creating a bump.

  • As sebum is a very good source of nutrients for the bacteria in our skin.

  • They start to grow in that area, leading to an infection.

  • Our immune system responds to this infection by sending blood and immune cells.

  • Blood makes the area red whereas the immune cells kill the bacteria.

  • Resulting in inflammation and formation of a pimple.
