Papules

Papules are small, firm, red lesions that appear on the skin due to inflammation or blockage of hair follicles, often caused by an accumulation of sebum and dead cells. Inflamed and sometimes sensitive to touch, they are a sign of worsening acne and require appropriate care to prevent infection and scar formation.
