Stages of acne

Stages of acne

There are various terms that describe different forms of acne, such as comedones, papules, pustules, nodules and cysts.

There are basically three stages of acne or degree or levels of severity:

1-     Mild acne: Mild acne consists of a few lesions that are close to the surface and not deep or inflamed.

2-     Moderate acne: This stage is marked by deeper nodular lesions that cover more of the face, and some redness.

3-     Severe acne: Severe acne involves many lesions, multiple cysts, lots of redness and inflammation over most of the face. When severe, it often results in scarring. Squeezing or popping pimples forces the oil and bacteria into deeper layers of skin and can cause cystic acne and scarring.
