Know and Identify your acne
Acne forms when the skin pores are clogged with excess oil from excessive sebum production, dead cells, bacterial infection and dirt particles. The clogged pores may inflame the hair follicles causing painful breakouts. And when the congested pores do not inflame the follicles, they form painfree non-inflammatory acne.
Did you know is that acne can appear on any skin type- oily, combination and even dry skin?
Generally, acne can be categorized into 6 major types:
Whiteheads (non-inflammatory)- This type of acne forms when you have closed pores with bacteria, or oil or dead skin cells stuck. These are not painful in nature.
Blackheads (non-inflammatory)- Such non-painful acne type appears within open pores which are clogged with impurities like dirt, or extra sebum from sebaceous glands.
Papules (inflammatory)- It develops when the impurities clogged into the pores inflame the hair follicles. It does not have visible pus.
Pustules (inflammatory)- It is the next stage of Papules. Here, the acne develops visible blobs of pus. It can cause pain in the affected area.
Nodules (inflammatory)- This type of acne is painful with acne lesions deep under the skin. It appears as red bumps on your skin and may take a few weeks to heal.
Cystic lesions (inflammatory)- Cystic acne is the stubborn form of nodular acne. It is deep rooted under the skin damaging the layers. It is the most painful among all types of acne. This is why it should not be ignored.
