2 days back i was lying in the bed & throwing a tennis ball in the air which hits the ceiling and comes back to my neck/chest area where i catch (this is what I usually do in my boredom & im quite obsessed with the sport cricket which i don't think many of you will be familiar with).

So this time it comes near my cheeks & I miss catching it,hits it slightly ,doesn't bother me and i keep going on.
Few hours later i was walking by a room where i get a glimpse of my face in the mirror (unintended-about 10 feet away) and realized my whole side of the cheek was red,quickly ran to the mirror and see huge inflammation (no bump) where i got hit.
I didn't really care i thought it was just cause i got hit.

Next day when i wake up the inflammation is less but there is a small red bump like a papule,i didn't apply anything and let the day go.
Today the inflammation is less but a huge pustule with the white head is formed ,prob the biggest i ever had.

This is a rather bizarre & comical way to get acne ,but i was totally out of active pimples,& im sure where i got hit had no signs of acne forming but just enlarged pores.So just thought id share this comical story,just be aware of getting hit in the face,even if its something soft.Rather strange cause i rub my face quite often and never get acne & i get hit by a ball for a second and a pimple forms!.

Coincidence? That is not how acne forms. lol

ball is dirty with various crap

ball rubs against your face when it hits

transfers crap to your skin

Yea, but causing a pimple within hours though........?? Doubtful.

some acne takes weeks to develop

something sudden on the other hand like abrasion with an unclean surface (bacteria, sweat, etc.) or an inflammatory allergic food item can cause problems in less than a day

i've had it happen to myself too

it is rather a very strange way but as i said i look at my face every few hours there was nothing but large pores in that area and as i got hit it got inflammed bad but no sign of pimple then when i got hit.Next day when i woke up-I see small bump possibly papule with inflammation,2 nd day (today) pustule with less inflammation on the very same spot i got hit,i have a huge head there now-white head.Nothing like that has ever happened to me and I haven't had a pimple for possibly the last 3-4 months.It could be an allergic reaction to some food but getting hit by the ball and the exact same place getting inflammed then pimple,the chances are very less that food could have done it,infact im pretty sure the ball has done something.
