A blemish is a blemish, isn’t it?
Interestingly, there’s a lot of confusion around pimples and acne.
However, that isn’t actually the case.
In fact, there are lots of different types of pimples which further confuses things.
A pimple that has a red bump on the skin is known as an acne papule (viaGoodRx).
As the spot develops, it may for a head that’s white or yellow and filled with pus.
How do pimples and blackheads develop?
As perVerywell Health, both pimples and blackheads develop differently.
This is because the oil can’t flow out like it usually would do.
Interestingly, blackheads do develop in a similar way to pimples.
