Acne

WHAT IS IT

Acne is an inflammatory skin condition that affects your hair follicles and oil glands of the skin. It is not something you can cure, rather something you can manage. The types of acne you can get and the area on your body can often tell us why it is there or what is causing it.

TYPES OF ACNE

  • Closed Comodone: plugged hair follicles that stay beneath the skin

  • Blackheads: plugged follicles that reach the surface of the skin and open up. They look black on the surface because the air oxidises the sebum

  • Papules: inflamed lesion that appear as small, pink bumps on the skin and can be tender to touch

  • Pustules or Pimples: Papules topped by white or yellow pus-filled lesions that may be red at the base

  • Nodules: large painful solid lesions that are lodges deep within the skin

  • Severe Nodules: deep painful pus-filled lesions (often called cystic)
