Types of Acne
September 18, 2008
- Papules: They are inflamed and red tender bumps with no head. Do not press a papule. This will make acne more severe.
- Whiteheads: They are caused when a pore is completely blocked, trapping sebum (oil), bacteria, and dead skin cells, causing a white look on the surface
- Blackheads: They are caused when a pore is incompletely blocked, allowing some of the trapped sebum (oil), bacteria, and dead skin cells to slowly drain to the surface
- Pustules: A pustule is just like whitehead, but is inflamed, and looks like a red circle with a white or yellow center.
