Different Types of Acne picture
Whiteheads result when a pore is completely blocked, trapping sebum
(oil), bacteria, and dead skin cells, causing a white appearance on the
surface.
Blackheads result when a pore is only partially blocked, allowing
some of the trapped sebum (oil), bacteria, and dead skin cells to slowly
drain to the surface. The black color is not caused by dirt. Rather, it
is a reaction of the skin's own pigment, melanin, reacting with the
oxygen in the air.
Papules are inflamed, red, tender bumps with no head.
Nodules--large, painful, solid lesions that are lodged deep within
the skin, cysts--deep, painful, pus-filled lesions that can cause
scarring.
