Pimples
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The term pimples usually refers to small lesions or bumps on the skin, such as blackheads, zits, or breakouts, that appear when pores become clogged or inflamed. It is a very common skin concern that can arise at any age.
Common causes: Excess oil on the skin, clogged pores, hormonal changes, bacteria, and irritation can promote their appearance.
When is it worth checking? If the pimples are numerous, painful, leave marks, or do not improve with basic care, an evaluation is worthwhile.
Which specialist treats them? The dermatologist is the right professional to assess the skin and provide guidance on proper care; a general practitioner can offer an initial evaluation. Consulting allows you to distinguish the type of lesion and receive guidance tailored to your skin.
