Understanding Acne: A User's Guide for Everyone
Introduction
Acne is a common skin condition where hair follicles become clogged and infected, leading to various types of lesions. Central to this issue is the overproduction of sebum, an oily substance necessary for healthy skin but problematic in excess. Unfortunately, the exact cause of this overproduction remains unclear.
Types of Acne Lesions
1. Comedones:
- Whiteheads are formed under the skin as small, white bumps that are hard to eliminate.
- Blackheads break through the skin surface due to oxidation, giving them a characteristic dark appearance.
2. Papules and Pustules:
- Papules arise when whiteheads burst, spreading bacteria and causing inflammation. They appear as small, firm, red bumps.
- Pustules are similar but contain pus, resulting in a yellowish white head.
3. Cysts:
- The most severe, cysts develop deeper under the skin, appearing red or purple and are often painful.
Types of Acne
Acne is further categorized based on the lesions present:
- Comedonal Acne: Characterized by whiteheads and blackheads.
- Acne Vulgaris: Includes a mix of comedones, papules, and pustules; this is the most common form.
- Cystic Acne: Involves all three lesion types with numerous cysts.
