Not every acne bump is the same! 😳
Some are small and painless, while others are deep, painful, and may leave scars.
6 Types of Acne
- Whiteheads – Closed pores clogged with oil and dead skin.
- Blackheads – Open clogged pores that turn dark from air, not dirt.
- Papules – Small, red, tender bumps caused by inflammation.
- Pustules – Red pimples with a white or yellow pus-filled center.
- Nodules – Deep, hard, painful lumps that may leave scars.
- Cysts – Large, painful bumps deep under the skin that can cause scarring.
⚠️ When to see a doctor?
If acne is deep, painful, persistent, or leaving scars, a dermatologist can help.
