UNINVITED PIMPLE?
Why Breakouts Always Show Up at the Worst Time 😩
To treat for acne is to identify the underlying causes and the types of acne for specific treatment.
Understanding these different types of acne is essential for discovering the right course of treatment.
1/ Mild acne (comedones)
-Whiteheads (closed comedones) are small, light bumps.
-Blackheads (open comedones) are small black spots that have opened up, allowing air inside and oxidising the sebum.
2/ Moderate acne
-Papules are small, solid bumps under the surface of the skin, with some inflammation surrounding the area.
-Pustules are larger in size and filled with a light-coloured pus where cells have collected.
3/ Severe acne
-Nodules are hard, inflamed, painful lumps that occur deep within the skin, the result of a clogged pore becoming infected and swelling.
-Cysts are large, painful lumps that form deep under the skin’s surface, filled with pus and soft to touch.
