Blind pimples, also known as cystic acne, are relatively common and can be bothersome.
They occur when a pore becomes clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria deep within the skin, leading to inflammation and a painful lump.
If not treated properly, blind pimples can indeed leave a scar.
It is important to avoid picking or squeezing the pimple, as this can worsen the inflammation and increase the risk of scarring.
It’s advisable to consult with a dermatologist for proper treatment options to help prevent scarring.
