On the other hand, papules are very small and may give a rough skin appearance like that of sand paper.
When the lesion is secreted with pus, the term is changed into “pustule”. If in case the pustules are harshly inflamed, the lesions are filled with semi-liquid and liquid materials composed of dead cells, bacteria and white blood cells. These in turn are called “cysts” which can become painful and may penetrate deeper layers of skin tissues and may often leave scars.
Acne has different names according to different skin conditions. Acne vulgaris, the most common type, often appears with whiteheads and blackheads. If acne has changed form and manifests on middle-age individuals, its name is changed into Acne rosacea.
Acne rosacea does not have openings on its pores. Usually, it only gives rough appearance on the skin surface because of the bumpy nods on the forehead, cheeks and chin. It is difficult to get rid of Acne rosacea and the infected skin is almost always impossible to be cured of this type. It may leave a bumpy nose surface, which is called Rhynophyma.
Furthermore, Acne cystica is the most severe form of this skin disorder. Deep inflammation fills the pus nodes and in case the pus bursts, this will infect the skin tissue rather than the skin surface alone. Severe inflammation and deep infection may lead to cyst formations that may leave permanent scars on the skin.
Another form of is Acne fulminance. This type is rare, characterized by systematic weight loss, fever and other critical condition. Generally, acne fulminance manifests in boys.
Aside from these given acne forms, there exists other types like Acne infantilis, Acne connglobata and Acne pustulosa.
