Blackheads which is a kind of pimple is caused by a pigment. Pimples are also not contagious. One will not catch it from somebody else. Hormones play a crucial role in pimple breakouts.

Recommended pimple products are those which do not irritate the skin, and the best ones are those remedies with natural ingredients such as emu oil. It is a common notion however that when it comes to pimple treatment, one product may work for some, but for others it may not.
In some cases, prescription medications for pimples may be required. One major fact to take into account however is not to pop or squeeze the pimples as this will only aggravate the condition.
