Identify Your Acne Condition: Select one or more acne types below to learn more!

Cystic Acne:
Cystic acne includes deep infections that are nodule or cyst-like. The infections do not raise to the surface and do not discharge infection waste material. With cystic acne blackheads and whiteheads may or may not be present. The infections heal very slowly and scarring is possible.

Whiteheads:
Whiteheads are a combination of oils, sebum and cellular fragments that form firm to hard plugs within the follicles. They are usually deep in the skin and may or may not rise to the surface. Because they are not exposed to oxygen they remain white or yellow-white, rather than dark brown like blackheads. When bacteria is added to these plugs the condition can lead to acne.

Blackheads:
Blackheads are a combination of oils, sebum and cellular fragments that form firm to hard plugs within hair follicles. Blackheads are open to the skin's surface and become darkened at the surface by exposure to oxygen. When bacteria is added to these plugs, the condition can lead to acne.

Acne Vulgaris:
Acne Vulgaris infections raise to pustules (pus filled pimples) on the surface of the skin. The pustules usually discharge a thin white pus. You may or may not have Blackheads, cysts and papules present. Acne Vulgaris usually occurs on the face, upper and lower back and upper chest. Some cystic acne conditions may also occur.

Please note: Rosacea should be diagnosed by a physician.
