What Causes Hidden Pimples?

 

Blind zits occur when your skin’s pores (tiny holes on your skin) clog. Experts call them hair follicles. Factors that block them include dead skin cells, hair, bacteria, and sebum (the oil that your skin produces to maintain the skin’s moisture).

When the body produces excess sebum or if you don’t maintain proper skin hygiene, the oil accumulates under your skin and forms pus. It gets stuck and fails to get to the skin’s surface. As a result, it stays in the body and forms a pimple causing pain and inflammation. However, one cannot always blame poor skin hygiene for such pimples. Some other factors include the following.

  • Family History: In some cases, pimples are the result of genetics. If your parents have had acne and blind pimples in the past, you may also develop them at some point.
  • Pregnancy: Women are more prone to pimples during pregnancy or menstruation.
  • Sweat: Activities that cause excessive sweating, particularly with tight clothes, helmets, or hats can worsen acne.
  • Stress Levels: Stress causes the cortisol (stress hormone) levels to increase and produce more sebum, resulting in breakouts. Anxiety and stress cause cortisol levels to rise and make more sebum, causing breakouts.
  • Hormonal Changes: Adolescents are more susceptible to acne breakouts due to changes in their hormonal levels.
  • Medications and Skin Care Products: Medications like corticosteroids or in some cases, heavy lotions and creams can clog pores and result in zits.

Suffering from blind pimples is normal. Almost everyone gets them at least once. Most of them go away on their own in a couple of weeks. However, if you get them frequently and if they stay for long, you must not ignore them. In such situations, you must visit a skin clinic like us and get them treated.
