Beauty Tips For Body Care
First post on here- have noticed some confusion over identifying types of acne and so thought I'd post this in the hopes of maybe helping :-)Comedone Small elevations on the skin surface caused by occlusion of the follicle by sebum and keratin. Comedones can be open or closed and are the primary form of non-inflammatory acne.Open Comedone Commonly called blackheads. A “plug” of melaninised keratin blocks the opening of the follicle.Closed Comedone Commonly called whiteheads. Occur when the follicle becomes completely blocked.Papule A solid elevation of skin with no visible fluid, usually < 5 mm and usually erythematous (meaning red/inflamed) (in acne).Pustule An elevation of skin which contains cloudy or purulent material consisting of necrotic cells and neutrophils.Nodule A firm dome-shaped elevation, > 5 mm in diameter, usually erythematous and painful.Acne cyst A fluctuant lesion > 5 mm in diameter, which may or may not be inflamed.
