ELI5: Why are there so many different types of skin problems (i.e. pimple, cyst, acne) that are all a result of the same issue of a clogged pore?

Cysts aren't necessarily related to clogged pores. You can have cystic acne, but that's less common. That said, infections can be bad news, even minor ones like acne. I've seen people in the hospital who started with a pimple and ended with necrotising fasciitis stripping away a large amount of skin and needed complicated wound care for months. 

So a big part of it is exactly what *type* of bacteria is involved, and as such, how well your body is able to fight the infection. Due to mutations, unfortunately we can never be sure the trajectory of even fairly benign-seeming infections. Hence why our normal nasal flora can sometimes give us meningitis, too.
