The difference between a pimple and acne

I thought pimples and acne were the same thing, but I looked it up and found out they are different types.

They say that to prevent both, it is important to cleanse thoroughly on a daily basis.

Pimple

- Occurs when sebum inside the pores fails to be expelled to the outside of the skin, causing inflammation.

- The rate of recurrence is low, and since it is a disease affecting the hair follicles, it often appears in areas where hair grows.

However, recurrence in the same area is extremely rare, and in most cases, it resolves temporarily or primarily.

Acne

- Caused by abnormalities in the sebaceous glands located deeper than the hair follicles

- If it appears repeatedly in the same spot or multiple bumps appear simultaneously, it is highly likely to be acne.
