What Causes Acne?
According to mayoclinic.org, Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples. Effective acne treatments are available, but acne can be persistent. The pimples and bumps heal slowly, and when one begins to go away, others seem to crop up. Depending on its severity, acne can cause emotional distress and scar the skin. The earlier you start treatment, the lower your risk of such problems.

What are the types of Acne?
Papules are small, red, raised bumps caused by inflamed or infected hair follicles.
Pustules are small red pimples that have pus at their tips.
Nodules are solid, often painful lumps beneath the surface of your skin.
Cysts are large lumps found beneath your skin that contain pus and are usually painful.
What are Acne Symptoms?
Acne signs vary depending on the severity of your condition:

Whiteheads (closed plugged pores)
Blackheads (open plugged pores)
Small red, tender bumps (papules)
Pimples (pustules), which are papules with pus at their tips
