Forms of acne
Acne can still be classified as mild, moderate, or severe, despite the fact that no scale has yet been developed to quantify its severity.
Based on its etiology, acne can be divided into the following categories.
Noninflammatory
As the name suggests, these lesions are not accompanied by inflammation. The clinical manifestations of inflammation, including pain, tenderness, edema, and erythema, are also absent. These are the least severe and typically respond to over-the-counter treatments.
These skin-colored nodules are the most frequent manifestation of acne. Two varieties of comedones exist:
Unlock comedones: Black heads are open comedones because the epidermis of the skin is exposed, but the skin pores are obstructed from the inside. Contrary to popular belief, blackheads are not colored by dirt confined within the pores. Rather, the color is the result of a chemical reaction. When exposed to air, the oxidation of the blocked pore material darkens the melanin pigment. It is possible to remove black gets by squeezing them, but this is not a healthy practice and may lead to complications.
Closed comedones are caused by the clogging of the hair follicle with dead skin cells, debris, and sebum. They have the same complexion as the epidermis and are not red. They are harmless lumps on the epidermis of the skin, unlike acne. Because the sebum is confined in the epidermis of the skin, it would be futile to attempt to squeeze it out, as doing so could result in scarring.
