Acne Symptoms

Acne lesions occur mostly on the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders. It is the most common skin disease. Although acne is not a serious health threat, severe acne can lead to disfiguring and permanent scarring.

Symptoms of acne lesions

  • Comedo (whiteheads or blackheads) or papules. The comedo is the basic acne lesion, which is a plugged pore. If the plugged pore stays under the skin, it’s called a closed comedo and forms a white bump or whitehead. Blackheads are comedos that open up and appear blackish on the surface of the skin. This black color is not due to dirt, but because the air reacts with the excess oil. 
  • Pustules or pimples. Pustules or pimples are acne lesions that contain pus and are red at the base. 
  • Nodules. These are more serious acne lesions. They lodge deeper in the skin, are painful, and can cause scarring. 
  • Cysts. Like nodules, these lesions are deep within in the skin, are painful, and are filled with pus, and can cause scarring. 

Hormonal changes in your body can provoke or aggravate acne symptoms. Such changes are common in:

  • Teenagers, both boys and girls 
  • People under stress 
  • People using certain medications, including cortisone 
  • Women and girls, two to seven days before their periods 
  • Pregnant women 

In rare cases, a sudden onset of severe acne in an older adult may signal an underlying disease. If acne strikes suddenly or without explanation in later years, you may want to see your doctor.
