    clogged hair follicles cause pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads

    Acne, also known as acne vulgaris, is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This can lead to the formation of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and sometimes cysts or nodules, primarily on the face, chest, and back. It is often associated with hormonal changes, particularly during adolescence, but can affect individuals of all ages.
