Types Of Acne

Acne Vulgaris or more commonly acne typically falls into one of several catergories as highlighted in the Indian J Dermatol Venerol Leperol publication. Doctors use the presence of the various symptoms to give a grade of severity of the acne and thus determine the proper treatment.

Seborrhea: characterised by red inflamed skin

Comedones: this category includes both blackhead (an open comedo in which the sebum has oxidised and turned black) and whiteheads (a closed comedo in which the sebum is not exposed to oxygen and thus does not oxidise.

Papules: small raised areas on the skin, sometimes referred to as pinheads that have no visible signs of fluid in them.

Pastules: inflamed, raised area of the skin that contains fluid. Can be either red or white

Nodules: also referred to as cyst (especially when large) it has a buildup similar to a pastule and the terms is usually referred to larger pastules.
