Types of Acne



 Introduction: We often term breakouts as acne, but this common perception is far from the truth. Different types of acne can only be determined by a careful examination of the skin. Each type of acne has its medication, treatment, and remedial measure. Find out which one you need as per your acne type:


  1. Non-inflammatory acne: These are comedones that do not swell. Blackheads and whiteheads are common non-inflammatory acne that can be cured by using any skin care product infused with Salicylic acid.

  2. Inflammatory acne: These are the swollen pimples that turn red with inflammation. Usually caused by the bacteria trapped inside the clogged pores, inflammatory acne can be:

  • Papules (hard, clogged pores) 

  • Pustules (Pus-filled bumps on the skin)

  • Nodules (Large, clogged pores)

  • Cysts (red/white, painful bumps)


While non-inflammatory acne is very mild, inflammatory ones are severe and stubborn that might require medical intervention. 


Conclusion: Deep cleaning the skin with a gentle cleanser is a boon for acne-prone skin. For stubborn acne marks, an effective acne spot treatment can be used.

  Acne scars are marks or indentations left on the skin after acne has healed. Acne scars can be shallow or deep, and they can take on different forms such as ice pick, rolling, or boxcar scars. When acne breakouts occur, the skin becomes inflamed and the body responds by sending white blood cells to the area to fight off the infection. In severe cases, the inflammation can damage the surrounding skin tissue and leave scars behind. Acne scars can appear as red or brown spots, raised bumps, or pitted scars, and can be a source of frustration for those who suffer from them. While they can be difficult to get rid of completely, there are various treatments available that can help improve their appearance.

The first cleanser is typically an oil-based cleanser or a cleansing balm, which helps to break down and dissolve makeup and other oil-based impurities on the skin's surface.
