Pimples come and go, but when it turns into hole, leaving behind scars, then it bothers us. The open holes on the face, looks absurd and it disturbs internally and externally
Pimples are formed, when the skin secrete extra sebum or oil on the skin and this associated bacteria, dust or dirt, then forms the pimple. When the middle layer of the skin, loses mass, from the point of secretion, then forms a big scar or hole on the skin. These holes are also called as atrophic acne scars. The deeper the acne is the worst and deeper the holes forms on the face.
Firstly do not squeeze or touch pimple. The dirt which our hands have will transfer to pimples, making them pussy and then turning in to hole
