Acne Treatment
What is acne
Your skin has tiny holes called pores that can become blocked by oil, bacteria, dead skin cells, and dirt. When this occurs, you may develop a pimple, sometimes also called a zit or blemish.
If you get pimples often, especially several at once repeatedly, you may have acne. In other words, acne is the skin condition that causes pimples.
Acne is very common. In fact, research estimates that 9.4 percentTrusted Source of people worldwide have acne. In the United States, acne is the most common skin condition, according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD).
Types of Acne
If you have acne, you might notice a mix of pimple types.
Whiteheads and blackheads, both also referred to as comedones, are the most common acne lesions.
- Blackheads, or open comedones, open at the surface of your skin. Oxygen in the air (not dirt) gives the top of these pimples their darker appearance.
- Whiteheads, or closed comedones, form as raised bumps under the surface of your skin. They remain flesh-colored.
Inflammatory lesions, which are more likely to cause scarring of your skin, include:
- Papules. These small, red, raised bumps are caused by inflamed or infected hair follicles.
- Pustules. These small red pimples have pus at their tips.
- Nodules. These solid, often painful lumps develop beneath the surface of your skin.
- Cysts. These large lumps beneath your skin contain pus and are usually painful.
