Types of Acne
July 2, 2009

Large numbers of people actually suffer from acne these days and it will beneficial for then to understand the various types of acne that are widespread. Once you can understand the various identification steps of and acne scar it becomes easier to take counter steps for its avoidance or say cure.

Acne scars are actually chemical changes under the skin and hence they vary from person to person in their appearance and size. It completely depends on the skin type and the percentage of oily nature in the skin as if who gets what.

Acne scars start in the form of mild scars also known as blackheads, which can be seen as the infantry stage. Then there are the whiteheads, which are bit more severe than the mild scars and need dermatological help. If the situation worsens then the whiteheads can lead to severe acne known as the cystic acne, which is a cyst near the skin's surface with the bacteria lodged deep.

To cure acne we must understand the disease properly, what are the types, what can be done to avoid this disorder and what type of skin are most prone to acne attacks. Once we are thorough with this then only we can take the necessary step known as the treatment of acne. Treatment also is bit arguable as it varies from person to person.

If one person gets relief from a particular type of medicine then it is not at all guaranteed that the same treatment method works for all the patients.

Acne can slowly and steadily take the shape of another inflammatory condition known as the pimple. It is actually a raised kind of bump on the skin, red in color and causes lots of itching in the surrounding areas. The bump is filled with a pus material and hence it is really pathetic to look at and also painful t times because of the fluid inside the bump.

The most severe type of acne out of all the known acne types, the cyst acne is considered as the most severe acne type. Cyst acne and pimple are two different skin conditions but they are often confused with each other. Cyst acne doesn't have pus and hence it doesn't cause severe pain. Pain is caused because the pus contains bacteria, which are painful to touch.

It is strongly recommended that you should not squeeze these acne bumps as it can lead to infections. Cyst acne mostly appears on the back and the neck and not on the face but pimples is common on face. Ask a girl how it feels to have a pimple on face and she will tell you the pain. If you try to squeeze these bumps you accidentally push the bacteria deep inside the skin causing trouble for your self.

One important fact is that acne doesn't discriminate by Gender or Age. You can get acne if you are 18 or 80, so do take care of your skin properly and take lot of water as water can surely help in curing acne.
