What type of acne do you have?
Mild acne
Mild acne typically includes occasional breakouts of small, non-inflammatory blemishes such as whiteheads and blackheads. These imperfections usually appear on the face, but they can also affect the neck, chest, and back. Treatment often involves topical solutions to unclog pores and reduce bacteria. Maintaining a consistent skincare routine with gentle products is essential for managing mild acne effectively.
Moderate acne
Moderate acne is characterized by more frequent breakouts that include a mix of inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions. These breakouts are more noticeable and widespread, potentially leading to discomfort and mild scarring. Treatment usually combines topical retinoids with oral antibiotics to reduce bacteria and inflammation. Regular consultation with a dermatologist can help tailor an effective treatment plan.
Severe acne
Severe acne involves widespread and painful inflammatory lesions, including numerous papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. This type of acne often leads to significant skin damage and scarring. Treatment for severe acne typically requires a combination of topical treatments, oral antibiotics, and possibly hormonal therapies. In some cases, isotretinoin is prescribed due to its effectiveness.
Hormonal acne
Hormonal acne, also known as adult acne, is primarily influenced by fluctuations in hormone levels, particularly androgens. It is often seen around the jawline, chin, and lower face. Symptoms include deep, painful cysts and inflamed pimples. Treatment typically involves oral or topical spironolactone and retinoids to regulate hormone levels and reduce oil production.
Cystic acne
Cystic acne is a severe form of acne characterized by large, painful cysts that develop deep within the skin. These cysts can lead to significant scarring and are often resistant to standard over-the-counter treatments. Treatment involves oral antibiotics, hormonal treatments, and isotretinoin (Accutane) due to the potential for severe scarring.
Nodular acne
Nodular acne is a severe form of acne characterized by large, painful nodules that develop deep within the skin. They can persist for weeks and are prone to causing significant scarring. Treatment often requires a combination of antibiotics or isotretinoin and topical treatments to reduce inflammation and prevent further breakouts. Nodular acne should be managed by a dermatologist.
