Acne

Known to be the most common skin condition, acne occurs due to your pores becoming clogged with dead skin, sebum, and bacteria. Most of the time, people who have excessively oily skin have to deal with acne. There are various type of acne:
Types of Acne | Description |
Blackheads | These are open comedones where the hair follicle is exposed. |
Whiteheads | These are closed comedones where the hair follicle is not detected. |
Papule | This type of acne is formed when a comedone is inflamed leading to the creation of a red bump. |
Pustule | Papules become pustules. This type of acne occurs when a comedone is filled with white pus and has a red ring surrounding it. Pustles can leave acne scars. |
Nodule | This type of acne occurs under the skin. They are large, red, and hard inflamed comedones. |
Cyst | Similar to nodules except they contain pus. They are also large and red. |
