What are the symptoms of acne?

Speaking of acne, I believe that all of my friends are familiar with it. It can be said that everyone who has gone through youth has had a few acne on their face. But did you know that there are actually many different types of acne, and the symptoms of different types are also different. Therefore, for those friends who have passed puberty but are still affected by acne, if you want to get rid of acne, you must first know what the symptoms of acne are.

Only when you truly understand the symptoms of acne and see which type of acne you have, can you better choose the appropriate treatment method and get rid of the trouble of acne as soon as possible. The specific symptoms and types of acne are as follows:

Symptoms of acne punctata: The main skin lesions are manifested as small dots, scattered distribution, color close to the skin color, not easy to be found, the symptoms are not obvious, when squeezed by hand, yellow-white fat plugs can be squeezed out, and there are small black dots formed due to oxidation.

Symptoms of papular acne: Skin lesions are mainly small papules, which are inflammatory and slightly higher than the normal skin layer. They vary in size and are generally dense. They are light red or dark red. There is a sebum plug with a blackhead in the center of the papule, and there is occasional itching or pain.

Symptoms of pustular acne: The skin lesions are mainly pustules, about the size of mung beans, with white-headed pustules. The bottom of the pustules is dark red and painful when pressed. There is a sticky liquid in the pustules, which are easy to leave scars.

Symptoms of nodular acne: Because the inflammation is more severe, nodular acne develops from pustular acne. The skin lesions are obviously raised and appear hemispherical or conical. Scars or sinus tracts will be left after healing.

Symptoms of conglomerate acne: Skin lesions include papules, comedones, pustules, nodules, etc. It is a collection of various acne symptoms and is a type of very serious symptom.

Symptoms of malignant acne: The main skin lesions are pustules or nodules, which are soft in texture and often do not heal for a long time, leaving small scars. People with poor physical constitution are generally at high risk of this disease.

After understanding the symptoms of acne, I hope that you all can understand that although acne will not threaten people’s lives, it can have a very serious impact on the patient’s psychology. Some friends may even suffer from depression due to acne and eventually commit suicide. Therefore, when you face acne, please treat it in time.
