There are many visualizations of acne that show several lesions on the skin, each with a distinct presentation and symptomatology. Most minor lesions respond to home care. However, severe cases should consult a dermatologist.

1.Acne Acne commonly sees the appearance of blackheads, whiteheads, pustules or pimples and other types of breakouts on the skin. The most common places of appearance are the face, chest, shoulders, and back. Although mild acne can improve with conventional home remedies for acne, more serious skin conditions should be treated by a dermatologist.

2. Some visualizations of acne types Open acne is blackheads; black because of surface pigment, not dirt. Black color is the result of abnormal reflection from clogged hair follicles

Closed acne is whiteheads; This happens when oil and dead skin cells stop forming a clogged hair follicle. Many blackhead treatments also work well for whiteheads.

Mild acne: Acne falls into the "mild" category if you have fewer than 20 whiteheads or blackheads, fewer than 15 inflamed pimples, or fewer than 30 lesions. Mild acne is usually treated with topical medications.

Moderate acne: with 20 to 100 whiteheads or blackheads, 15 to 50 inflamed pimples, or 30 to 125 total lesions, your acne is considered moderate. Dermatologists often recommend prescription medications for moderate to severe acne.

Severe acne: People with severe acne have many inflamed cysts and nodules. The blisters may turn dark red or purple. It often leaves a scar. Prompt treatment by a dermatologist can minimize scarring.

Giant acne is a type of cyst in which there is a blackhead-like opening in the skin

Solar acne is found on the cheeks and chin of the elderly, and is thought to be caused by sun damage.

Pimples (nodules): Nodules are inflamed bumps that form small red or pink bumps on the skin. Squeezing or squeezing can make inflammation worse and can lead to scarring. A large number of papules may indicate moderate to severe acne.

Pustules: A skin condition consisting of a white head and a red ring around the bump. The bumps are usually filled with white or yellow pus. Avoid squeezing or squeezing pustules as this can cause scarring or dark spots on the skin.

Nodules: Nodes are large, inflamed nodules that feel firm to the touch. They develop deep inside the skin and are often painful. Nodules need to be treated by a dermatologist. Over-the-counter treatments may not be able to relieve the condition.

Cysts: are large, pus-filled lesions that look like pimples. Cysts can be painful and should be treated by a dermatologist.

Acne Conglobata: Acne conglobata is one of the most severe forms of acne. It involves many inflammatory nodules that are connected under the skin to other nodules. It can affect the neck, chest, arms, and buttocks. It often leaves a scar. This type of acne is more common in men and is sometimes caused by the use of steroids or testosterone. It is important to get prompt treatment by a dermatologist.

Acne Mechanica: Acne Mechanica is caused by heat, friction, and pressure against the skin, often the result of wearing sports gear like a helmet or baseball cap. It is sometimes called "sport-induced acne" because it occurs so often in athletes. Preventive measures
