The occurrence of acne is mostly because of hormonal imbalance. It is triggered when the androgen level increases during puberty, resulting in the growth of oil glands present at the bottom of hair follicles in the skin. When these hair follicles are blocked and oil starts building up underneath the skin, one experiences acne or pimple.

Acne forms different types of skin blemishes, each incorporated with different symptoms and appearance. Where as minor acne blemishes respond to home remedies, severe and chronic acne must be taken care of by a medical expert. To find the best acne doctor in Gurgaon, one can visit Aster Dermatology and consult Dr. Niti Gaur.

Acne blemishes are classified into two categories:

• Non-inflammatory acne
• Inflammatory acne

Non-inflammatory acne:

Non-inflammatory type of acne are the least severe ones that can be treated through home remedies, moisturizers, gels, etc. But sometimes home remedies can worsen the skin, and one must take proper expert help to get them treated. These blemishes do not cause swelling and involve less pain. Different types of Non-inflammatory acne are:

• Whiteheads are also known as closed comedones and can be distinguished as white spots or bumps. One can experience tight or wrinkled skin around a whitehead.
• Blackheads are known as open comedones that can be classified as small, dark-colored spots and raised bumps. Blackheads are those whiteheads that are exposed to air and open and widened. The center of the blackhead is dark and the skin appears normal.

To treat these non-inflammatory acne blemishes an individual can use creams, rinsing products, etc. Also, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help to reduce the non-inflammatory acne such as eating a healthy diet, keeping the body hydrated, washing the face, etc.

Inflammatory acne:

Inflammatory acne are severe and can be distressing, complicated and result in scarring. These blemishes are red, swollen, and painful. Minor to mild inflammatory acne include papules and pustules; moderate to severe acne include nodules and cysts.

• Papules are bumps beneath the skin surface with no visible center. They appear as red swollen bumps and are tender and solid.
• Pustules which are also known as pimples are large, tender bumps. The pimple appearance can be classified as white and yellow pus-filled lumps with a defined center. These acne can be treated by keeping the skin clean, and over the counter medication and antibiotics, etc.
• Nodules are painful, hard, pus-filled, and inflamed bumps that occur deep in the skin. The nodules develop as a result of plugged pores and cells inside the skin's surface. These acne blemishes can also result in scarring, dark spots, and other skin complications.
• Cysts are painful, large and red bumps which are also filled with pus. These are the most severe acne blemishes that are formed inside the skin. Cysts can result in deep scarring and distress.
