What’s All The Gunk Inside a Pimple?

Before discussing the gunk that is found inside a pimple, first you need to define what a pimple is. Pimples, or zits the slang name, can be mild to severe. It’s a common skin condition and can affect anyone from teenagers to women in their 40′s and 50′s. It’s rare to find acne in men of that age range. Acne, the full medical term is acne vulgaris is a common skin condition that happens when skin cells are clogged with oil and dead skin and then is infected with bacteria. A pimple is red and are often raised bumps on the skin affecting the face, neck, shoulders, and back area. If a pimple bursts under the skin and sends bacteria into the surrounding tissues, it is then called a papule. If the papule goes even deeper under the skin, it’s called a pustule. It might not be as red as other pimples but may have a white enter and be very painful. If it goes even deeper in the skin, it is then called a cyst. These are very serious and should be treated by a trained professional who will recommend topical ointments or a prescription drug to help in clearing it up.
