Acne is a common skin condition which occurs on the face when hair follicles in the skin become clogged by a combination of sebum – an oily substance produced by the oil glands – dirt, and dead skin cells. Different types of acne can include blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and cysts. It usually appears on the face and neck but it can also affect shoulders, back, and arms. Usually, acne starts in the teenage years as hormonal changes cause the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum. It can continue into adulthood with stress, monthly hormonal changes, certain medications or the use of oil-based products all contributing to breakouts.

Acne is not caused by poor hygiene or by eating chocolate or greasy foods, but genetics do play a role, so if either of your parents had acne chances are you will too. Sometimes acne can clear up on its own, but without treatment it can become severe and lead to permanent scarring so it’s best to get it under control early.

Types of acne pimpes

Comedones

A comedo, or basic acne lesion, is a hair follicle that has become plugged with oil and dead skin cells.

Blackheads

Blackheads are comedones that are open at the skin’s surface. They are also filled with excess oil and dead skin cells.

Whiteheads

Comedones that stay closed up at the surface of the skin are referred to as whiteheads. The built-up oil and skin cells then prevent a hair follicle from opening.

Papules

Papules are comedones that have become inflamed. They create small red or pink bumps on the skin. Having a significant number of papules may indicate moderate to severe acne.

Pustules

Pustules are really just another kind of inflamed pimple. Resembling a whitehead, with a red ring around it, the bump is typically filled with white or yellow pus.
