What is the difference between pimples and acne?
Acne is the condition that exhibits itself through the form of pimples or sometimes called zits. Acne is the actual disorder of inflamed pores (or hair follicles) and once the pores become inflamed or clogged then they produce a small bubble of skin that contains the bacteria agent that is inside the pore clogging it, this whole glorious little package is what a pimple constitutes. If you have one pimple, you simply have a clogged pore, but if you are prone to having multiple pimples at many times, than you actually have the skin disorder known as acne. So while they may appear to be the same the amount of clogged pours you have defines whether you simply have a pimple or if you have acne.
