What is Acne?
Acne is one of the most common types of skin conditions . Unlike common misconception, acne can affect patients of all ages, including the typical teenagers, adults, and elderly patients as well as younger children. It is important to see a Board Certified Dermatologist for early diagnosis and proper treatment of your acne. If left untreated or not adequately treated, acne can cause pigmentation and scarring which may be permanent.
Types of Acne
- Acne generally manifests as mild cases. Both blackheads and whiteheads are part of it. Acne is considered "mild" if there are just a few blocked pores or if they are located in a small area.
- The presence of more pimples than blackheads or whiteheads indicates moderate acne. You could find that some of your acne spots have redness or swelling surrounding them if you have this kind of acne.
- Acne that is moderate to severe manifests as a multitude of pustules and papules, with the rare occurrence of inflammatory nodules. The back and chest are also potential sites.
- The presence of only pimples, whether they are little, red bumps or larger, pus-filled ones, indicates severe acne. Nodules or cysts may also be seen in severe cases of acne.
