What are The Different Types of Acne?
The different types of acne are:
- Papular acne includes small, pink coloured lesions.
- Pustular acne is filled with pus.
- Cystic acne is where the infection goes deep into the skin and forms a painful bump filled with pus under the skin.
- Nodular acne is hard, large and painful.
- Comedonal acne is basically clogged hair follicles (pores) in the skin. A comedo can turn into a whitehead or a blackhead. An open comedo with its opening on the skin surface is a blackhead. A closed comedo with its opening beneath the skin surface is a whitehead.
What are the Causes of Acne?
The primary cause of acne is the rise in the level of the hormoneandrogen in the body. Androgen levels rise around the age of adolescence. Androgen activates the sebaceous (oil) glands under the skin and makes them grow bigger and produce excess oil. The hair follicles get plugged with this oil and dead skin cells, giving the bacteria a chance to thrive and cause acne. The medical term for acne is acne vulgaris./p>
