Acne ID
Recognize your type—face it head-on
Acne may be a common condition, but it also appears in a variety of ways and places, including the back, chest, shoulders and neck. The most common types include:
Whitehead: when a pore clogs up beneath the skin and closes.
Blackhead: when a pore clogs up and reaches the surface of the skin, but stays open.
Papules: inflamed, tender lesions that pop up as small, pink bumps on the skin.
Pustules: pimples topped by white or yellow pus-filled lesions.
Remember-
even mild acne is a medical condition that can benefit from treatment by a physician.
