Pimples are not only unpleasant, but they also add pain to the problem and may also affect the rest of your skin. Blind pimple is more painful because it is deep within the skin, closed by nerves, thus increasing the pain and inflammation even more.

Pimple, which occurs under the skin, is also called blind pimple because these types of pimples are found under the skin, which produces extra oil on the face and thereby leads to clogged pores.
