Pimples
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Seeing a dermatologist is the most appropriate step when so-called "barros" appear, a popular term used to refer to acne lesions, such as pimples and blackheads that arise mainly on the face, chest, and back.
What are they? They form when the skin's pores become clogged with oil and cells, which favors inflammation of the small skin glands.
Contributing factors: hormonal changes, genetics, and skin type are usually related to their appearance, especially during adolescence.
When is a review advisable? If the lesions are numerous, leave marks, or cause discomfort, it is worth discussing it with a skin professional to understand the most appropriate care for each person.
