Acne Treatment
Did you know your acne zit is actually on your face three to six weeks before you even see it?
Yes, It's true.
Your pores get clogged by skin cells and cannot excrete oil properly. This is the perfect recipe for propionibacterium acnes, P. acnes for short. Once started, the bacteria grows until it finally ruptures- causing the red raised "ouchy” you call a pimple. In fact, acne can rupture from either open or closed pores. The inflamed spots are filled with excess oil and bacteria.
Common Forms of Acne
Whitehead
Just like the name, small white pimples on top of the skin are called whiteheads. Whitehead pores are closed and causes acne.
Blackhead
Unlike whiteheads, blackhead bumps are open pores but oxygen oxidizes what’s inside the pore, turning it the dark, black color.
Whitehead and blackhead bumps are both smaller. But once the pore walls become so inflamed, larger pimples grow.
Papules
Red hard bumps and hard to touch are papules.
Pustules
This is the most common type of pimple people encounter.
Cysts & Nodules
Deeper and larger infections that appear after whiteheads and blackheads rupture inside the skin become cysts. These skin cysts are similar to boils. If you can feel a large hard pump without redness, this is called a nodule.
