What Are the Treatments for Acne Blemishes?
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, there are several forms of acne: blackheads, whiteheads, papule (pimple), pustule (pus-filled pimple) or cyst. Acne is formed when a pore is clogged and a bacterial infection occurs. At the surface, the bacterial infection causes blackheads and whiteheads. Deeper in the pores, an infection will result in papules or pustules. At the deepest point, an infection will result in the most severe nodules or cysts. Understanding the best treatments is important in order to avoid scarring.
