Excessive sebum secretion along with bacterial infection, harmonal issues can trigger acne which can cause a lot of stress to the patient.
Acne is classified broadly in two categories
- Non inflammatory like Black heads and white heads
- Inflammatory Acne like Cysts, papules , nodules and pustules
Blackheads and whiteheads are the mildest forms of acne. These can sometimes be cleared up with OTC topical medications, such as salicylic acid-based toners or benzoyl-peroxide spot treatments. If they don’t respond to OTC medications, comedones are easily treated with topical applications.
Pustules and papules are more moderate forms of acne. These may or may not clear up with OTC meds. Widespread moderate acne may require an oral or topical prescription .
Nodules and cysts are the most severe form of acne. Picking or popping nodules and cysts can lead to scars.
