How Does Acne Form?

Types of Acne

Blackheads form when hair follicles trap oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, oxidizing when exposed to air, which gives them their characteristic black appearance.

Whiteheads develop when oil and dead skin cells clog closed hair follicles, appearing as white or flesh-colored bumps.

Papules are small, raised, solid bumps on the skin that are typically red and tender to the touch.

Pustules are small, inflamed bumps on the skin filled with pus, appearing as white or yellowish heads atop red, tender bases.

Nodules are larger, solid, painful bumps beneath the skin’s surface, often deeper than papules or pustules, and they can persist for a longer time.

Cysts are deep, painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the skin that can be larger and more severe than nodules, often requiring medical attention for treatment.
