On a casual day-to-day reference, pimples and acne are considered same, although they are, in pure dermatological terms, not exactly theoretically identical. Acne is a skin condition featured by blackheads, whiteheads and inflamed red pimples or "zits.” Pimples appear when the sebaceous glands located at the root of hair follicles turn overactive. When glands secrete excessive, they block the pores, causing accumulation of dirt and bacteria. The blockage is known as a comedone or plug. The top of the plug when gets ruptured, the internal substances, including bacteria and oil, can ooze out on the surrounding skin surface resulting in an inflammatory reaction. In case the inflammation runs deep into the layers of the skin, the pimples may become large enough to shape into painfully firm cysts.

One very important answer to the question how to prevent pimples is cleanliness and general hygiene practices. If the general hygiene practices, cleanliness, and self-care steps do not work, one may try over-the-counter acne medications. These lotions are meant for direct and external application to the skin. Usually, the medications contain some standard components like sulfur, benzyl peroxide, salicylic acid and resorcinol. These chemicals are supposed to kill skin bacteria by drying up the oil. If these lotions or creams fail to cure the pimples on you, the dermatologists may proscribe more potent and stronger medications, both for oral intake or external application.
