Acne

Acne is a dermatological disease characterized by inflammation of the sebaceous gland and blockage of the excretory duct of the sebaceous gland. The main elements are white comedone (blockage of the excretory duct by the epithelium of the skin) and black comedone (blockage by the epithelium of the enlarged and altered excretory duct of the sebaceous gland).
TYPES OF ACNE
Stage 1 – comedones are mostly located on the forehead, nose wings, chin. There are no pustules.

Stage 2 – closed comedones, nodes and single pustules (bubbles with pus) are added.

With pustullosis, the elements filled with pus are opened, the pus expires, the bubbles dry up, form crusts, after which disfiguring scars are formed, bluish-red in color. The face at the same time looks loose, pitted, the surface of the skin is bumpy.

It is very important for acne to identify the cause of acne and the rehabilitation of the underlying disease, which can also be very long.
