Pimples (Yuvana Pidika)

Pimples are also known as acne and it is a skin disease in which the oil glands become more active and secrete excessive oil. Pimples are mostly seen during puberty and oil glands become very active due to hormonal changes. Acne is not a serious problem but in some individual it may leave scars. There are oil glands present under the skin. The oil glands produce sebum which removes the dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. A small hair follicle may grow out from the skin and when this hair follicle gets blocked, it may cause accumulation of sebum under the skin thus producing pimple or acne. Acne may appear on other parts of the body as well such as head, chest, back and shoulders. It is estimated that people get acne from the age of 11 -30 years. It may occur in people of all races. Young adults and adolescents are more commonly affected by pimples.
