Detailed Symptoms

Redness:
The skin around the pimple appears red and inflamed.

Swelling:
The area becomes raised and swollen, sometimes forming a noticeable lump under the skin.

Pain or Tenderness:
The pimple may be sore to the touch, especially if it’s large or located near a joint.

Warmth:
The affected area may feel warmer than the surrounding skin due to inflammation.

Pus or Whitehead Formation:
A white or yellow tip may develop, indicating a buildup of pus inside.

Itching or Irritation:
Some people feel mild itching around the area before or during the breakout.

Tightness of the Skin:
If the pimple is large, the skin may feel stretched or tight in that area.

Limited Movement (if very large):
In rare cases, a very painful or large pimple can make arm movement uncomfortable.

Poor Cleansing Habits:

Inadequate cleansing can leave behind dirt, sweat, and environmental pollutants on the skin’s surface, contributing to pore congestion and acne development.

Using a gentle cleanser twice daily helps remove impurities and prevent pore blockages.

High Humidity and Sweat:

Humid environments and excessive sweating can increase oil production and trap impurities in the pores, leading to acne flare-ups.

Regularly washing the face and using non-comedogenic skincare products can help combat the effects of humidity and sweat on the skin.

Unhygienic Phone and Pillowcase:

Bacteria and dirt from unwashed hands, phones, and pillowcases can transfer onto the skin, causing pore blockages and acne.

Keeping these items clean and practicing good hygiene habits can minimize bacterial contamination and reduce the risk of breakouts.
