Acne is a skin disorder that occurs when the hair follicles on your skin get blocked with excess oil or dead skin cells. More than 90% of the world's population is affected by acne or pimples at some point in their life. (Source: Report Linker) Nodules, cysts, papules, blackheads, and whiteheads are some of the common types of pimples. Pimples are caused by various factors. A group of hormones triggers an increase in sebum production thus leading to acne.
Characteristics of acne
Acne can occur anywhere on the body and it mostly appears in the area where there is a high concentration of sebaceous glands, including:
- Shoulders
- Neck
- Upper back
- Chest
- Face
Individual lesions are centered. Several types of acne can occur often at different times or at the same time. The main characteristics of acne are as follows.
Superficial lesions
- Pustules
- Papules
- Open and closed comedones
Deeper Lesions
- Pseudocysts
- Nodules
Secondary lesions
- Pigmented macules
- Excoriations
- Erythematous macules
- Scars
Individual acne lesions last less than two weeks but the deeper the nodules and papules are, the longer they may persist.
Acne may look like other skin conditions and hence, you should always consult a doctor for treatment.
