They symptoms of acne might seem obvious, but not all pimples are the same, and there are different treatments for your specific symptoms

Acne Cysts: Often recognized by bumps on the face, these are acne scars that turn into nodules

Nodules: Much like papules, nodules are skin lesions that are solid and dome shaped, but nodules impact very deep skin layers. Nodules can cause scarring.

Scarring Cysts: Scars are a remnant of previous acne, and are more than a cosmetic concern; acne scars often influence personal worth and self-image

Papules: Papules are solid raised bumps, typically small, that are often red due to inflammation, and do not appear to be filled with puss

Pustules: Most often understood as zits, pustules are inflamed, red, blister-like bumps on the skin filled with whitish fluid or puss.

Comedones: Comedones are small bumps that are found at the pore's opening.

Macules: Macules are a type of scar that can be up to 2.5mm wide and 0.75 mm deep
