2. There are basically four
types of acne; whiteheads,
blackheads, pimples and
nodules.
3. Whiteheads are when the sebum (oil)
and resulting bacteria are trapped
below the skin’s surface and you can
actually see a white head appear above
(or near popping out of) the skin.
4. Blackheads are when the sebum and
resulting bacteria are only partially
trapped, slowly draining out the surface
and turning black because of your skin’s
melanin or pigmentation.
9. All forms of acne can be mild, moderate or
severe. Typically, mild acne is visible in the
form of whiteheads and blackheads,
sometimes pimples.
10. With moderate acne, more pimples and
pustules are present on the face, some may
appear on the back or chest.
11. And with severe acne, many nodules
develop, often large and sore, over parts of
the face, back, chest and other body areas.
This type of acne can lead to scarring.
Actually, lesser cases of acne have been
followed by scarring.
12. So for those with possible nodular acne,
seeking advice from a healthcare provider
as soon as possible is recommended.
