Pimples - What Causes Them

Pimples are mainly caused by the clogging of oil in the pores of the skin. It aggravates the formation of pus in the boils and spreads all around the area. Pores of the skin are mainly blocked due to excessive secretion of oil, sweat or accumulation of dust.

Here is a brief description of some of the primary causes of pimples:

Sensitivity to Testosterone - Some people are over sensitive to normal blood levels of testosterone which makes the sebaceous glands produce excess sebum. It increases the chances of clogging up of the dead skin cells which leads to the eruption of pimples.

Heavy Makeup - Heavy makeup can aggravate the occurrence of pimples as it clogs the pores and causes the eruption of pimples. Hence, it is always recommended to clean your face and remove all the makeup applied on your skin before sleeping. It is recommended to use a delicate face wash for removing the make up in order to avoid any kind of irritation on the skin.

Harsh Cleaning Methods - Harsh cleaning methods can also be a major reason for the pimples to erupt. If you scrub your face a lot or use a rough surface for wiping, it can irritate the skin and cause pimples. If there are already pimples on the skin, it is recommended not to scrub the face as it causes the pimples to spread.

Bad food habits - If your diet includes large quantity of junk, spicy and oily food, there are higher chances of the formation of pimples. Junk food upsets the stomach and sometimes also causes the problem of constipation. Hence, you should check your diet and prefer to take a balanced diet with lots of green leafy vegetables.

Sometimes, pimples can also be a hereditary problem however; it is never contagious. Eruption of pimples during the stage of puberty should be considered as a normal phenomenon as a lot of hormonal changes occur in the body at that time.
