Acne
Acne types
Blackheads or open comedones, are those tiny surface bumps on your skin. Their slightly darker color is a result of exposure to the air, not dirt.
Whiteheads, also known as closed comedones, appear as raised bumps beneath the skin's surface with a natural skin-color appearance.
Inflammatory lesions, with a higher risk of scarring, include papules (small, red, raised bumps from inflamed hair follicles), pustules (small red pimples with pus), nodules (solid, often painful lumps under the skin), and cysts (large, painful lumps containing pus).
