Acne :
Acne is described as clogging of the skin pores, which is a common skin problem seen in many people. Acne is categorized into several types such as hormonal acne, cystic acne, fungal acne and nodular acne, based on the factors causing them. These acne appear mostly on face, forehead, chest, shoulder region and upper back, as these areas are regions with oil glands. The presenting complains of acne include pimples, papules, blackheads, whiteheads, large painful lumps under the skin (nodules) and painful fluid filled lumps under the skin (cysts). Acne are primary caused by sebum produced by sebaceous glands, bacteria and dead skin cells. Acne are triggered by various reasons like using greasy or oily personal care products, picking at the acne, wearing tight fitting clothing and headgear, stress, as a side effect of certain medications, high humid weather conditions and air pollution. Hormonal activity and consumption of certain foods high in sugar, skim milk and whey protein are also responsible for causing acne.

Which type of acne is most difficult to treat and why?
Acne is a common skin condition that affects many people. It's usually not serious and goes away on its own. However, some people have more severe acne, called cystic acne. Cystic acne is more difficult to treat because the pimples are deeper below the skin's surface and may require stronger medications.
The reasons why cystic acne is more difficult to treat include:
- Location: The deep location of cystic lesions makes it more challenging for topical medications to reach the site of infection and inflammation.
- Severity: Cystic lesions are often more severe and inflamed than other acne lesions, requiring more potent treatments.
- Underlying factors: Cystic acne may be associated with underlying hormonal imbalances or genetic predispositions, making it more difficult to control.
Over-the-counter treatments like creams and lotions may work for mild to moderate acne, but cystic acne often needs stronger medication like antibiotics or prescription drugs like Accutane. If you have cystic acne, you must see a doctor for the right treatment.
What are the types of acne?
There are six main types of acne:
- Comedones: These are small, non-inflamed bumps that can be either blackheads or whiteheads. Blackheads are open comedones, meaning the bump's surface is black. Whiteheads are closed comedones, meaning the bump's surface is white.
- Papules: These are small, red bumps that are inflamed. Papules are usually caused by bacteria that have infected the pores.
- Pustules: Pimples with a white or yellow center. Pustules are caused by a buildup of pus, a mixture of dead white blood cells and bacteria.
- Nodules: These are large, solid bumps that are deep under the skin. Nodules are often painful and can cause scarring.
- Cysts: These are deep, pus-filled lumps located deep under the skin. Cysts can be very painful and can also cause scarring.
- Acne fulminans: This rare and severe acne can cause scarring and other complications.
