Hair follicles are the source of all hair on your scalp, torso, and face. Under the epidermis, pimple-like lumps are caused by blocked hair follicles. Here are some causes of blocked hair follicles.
Genetics
Though not absolute, there is a chance that you could acquire the genes that cause blocked hair follicles if one of your biological parents had this disease.
Keratin
One of the reasons your hair follicles get clogged is due to keratin. Keratin is a natural protein found in nails, skin, and hair.
Sweat
Another reason you develop blocked hair follicles is that the clogged hair follicles trap sweat inside.
Damage While Styling
Trimming, waxing, donning restrictive clothing, or using hair products, extensions, or other hair accessories that can harm hair follicles.
Bacterial Spread
The bacteria from the ruptured follicle expands, resulting in more obstructed follicles and pimple formation.
Conclusion
If your blocked hair follicles bother you much, consider visiting a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
