What are the different types of acne?
Whiteheads and blackheads, both also referred to as comedones, are the most common acne lesions.
- Blackheads, or open comedones, open at the surface of your skin. Oxygen in the air (not dirt) gives the top of these pimples their darker appearance.
- Whiteheads, or closed comedones, form as raised bumps under the surface of your skin. They remain flesh-colored.
Inflammatory lesions, which are more likely to cause scarring of your skin, include:
- Papules. These small, red, raised bumps are caused by inflamed or infected hair follicles.
- Pustules. These small red pimples have pus at their tips.
- Nodules. These solid, often painful lumps develop beneath the surface of your skin.
- Cysts. These large lumps beneath your skin contain pus and are usually painful.
