Pimples and acne are known to pop up when you definitely don’t want them.
Mostly, these pimples go away on their own. However, not all acne is the same.
Some varieties of acne, such as nodular acne, blackheads, pustules, etc., can be a little difficult to deal with and painful.
One such painful form is nodular acne.
Let us read about what it is, its causes, treatment and more.
What is Nodular Acne?
A nodule pimple or acne is a very severe form of acne.
There is a development of tough nodules, which are lumps or knots that appear deep under the skin.
These nodules have origins below the surface of the skin and manifest as red pimples on the surface.
In most cases, there is neither a whitehead nor a blackhead at the core of these lumps.
The nodules have the potential to persist for several weeks or even months.
According to studies, these nodules cause infection and inflammation.
They act as a repository for a bacteria known as Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes), which becomes trapped under your skin.
