Types of Acne

  • Whiteheads: Also known as closed comedones, these are small, round blemishes with a white tip, caused by pores clogged with sebum, bacteria, and dead skin cells.
  • Blackheads: Open comedones that appear as small, dark spots on the skin’s surface. The dark color is not due to dirt but is the result of the pore’s contents being exposed to air and oxidizing.
  • Papules: Small, red, raised bumps caused by infected or inflamed hair follicles. They can be tender to the touch and are a sign of moderate acne.
  • Pustules: Similar to papules but filled with pus. They often have a white or yellowish center with a red ring around the inflammation. Pustules can be painful and are typical in moderate acne.
  • Nodules: Larger, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface of the skin. They form when blocked pores become increasingly irritated and enlarged, affecting deeper skin layers. Nodules signify more severe acne.
  • Cysts: The most severe form of acne, cysts are large, pus-filled lesions that are often painful and can lead to scarring. They result from a severe infection and require professional medical treatment.
