Signs Of Acne

The blocked skin pores in acne bulge outwards to form blackheads, whiteheads, pustules (pimples or zits) and cysts.

Blackheads - These form when the pores are clogged close to the surface of the skin. Because they are exposed to the skin surface, blackheads don't usually become inflamed. They are dark due to the presence the skin pigment melanin that has oxidized to turn a black/brown color. This color is not the result of dirt. Blackheads can last for a long time because the contents very slowly drain to the surface.

Whiteheads - These develop from a blockage deeper in a pore. Lacking a drainage path, the oil accumulates in the skin, causing small flesh-colored or white-colored bumps. Unlike blackheads, whiteheads are more likely to lead to the red inflammations known as pimples or zits.

Pustules - Are also known as pimples or zits, and occur when the walls of the blocked follicle ruptures. Oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria normally found on the skin surface get into the skin and irritate it, forming small areas of inflammation.

Cysts - These are larger, red, inflamed areas deep in the skin that indicate a more extensive infection.
