Different Types of AcneHere we will discuss the different types of acne:Lesion A physical change in body tissue caused by disease or injury. A lesion may be external (e.g., acne, skin cancer, knife cut), or internal (e.g., lung cancer, cirrhosis of the liver). Acne lesions range in severity from comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) to nodules and cysts. Here is a brief definition of acne lesions: Comedo A comedo is a hair follicle plugged with skin oil or sebum, dead cells from inside the hair follicle and sometimes bacteria. An open comedo is called a blackhead because the surface of the plug in the hair follicle has a blackish appearance. The antioxidant Acnezine regulates the sebaceous glands thus controlling the oil secretion and stops acne growth permanently. Neither blackheads nor whiteheads should be squeezed or picked. Papule A papule is defined as a small solid lesion slightly elevated above the surface of the skin. A group of very small papules and microcomedones may be almost invisible but have “sandpaper” feel to the touch. Prolong treatment with Acnezine smoothes the lesion to a great extent. Pustule It is a dome-shaped, fragile lesion containing pus that typically consists of a mixture of dead skin cells, and bacteria. Acne pustules that heal without progressing to cystic form usually leave no scars. Nodule Like a papule, a nodule is a solid, dome-shaped or irregularly shaped lesion. Unlike a papule, a nodule is characterized by inflammation, extends into deeper layers of the skin and may cause tissue destruction resulting in scarring. Nodular acne is a severe form of acne. Cyst A cyst is a sac-like lesion containing liquid or semi-liquid material consisting of dead cells, and bacteria. It is larger than a pustule, may be severely inflamed, extends into deeper layers of the skin, may be very painful, and can result in scarring. Our Recommended ACNE Product |
