Everybody would want a clear and soft skin without any aberrations such as pimples. A pimple is a form of acne which is usually as a result of dirt/excess oil getting trapped in pores of the skin. Acne sometimes gets infected with bacteria which lead to development of pus inside it and turns red and painful. This is the form which we call a pimple.
Some people squeeze these pimples oozing the pus out which can lead to further spreading of bacterial infection. Some pimples leave out scars which are caused due to bacterial feeding of the skin. These scars can be commonly seen in youngsters and adults.
The causes of pimples vary from person to person. Usually they are caused due to hormonal imbalance in the person. In few instances, even excess heat production in the body and weak immune system also cause pimples on the skin. Pimples can form almost anywhere, but the usual areas are face, neck, chest and back.
