SEVERE ACNE?
Acne is a common skin condition that is
labeled based on its severity. It can be called:
- MILD
- MODERATE
- SEVERE
Moderate to severe acne can be papules,
pustules, nodules, or cysts on the face, shoulders,
chest, or back.
WHAT CAUSES
ACNE?
Our skin has small holes called pores. Dead skin cells can combine with excess oil from your skin and become trapped inside the pores, causing redness and swelling.
Acne can also be caused by bacteria called
P. acnes that naturally live on your skin.
P. acnes can get into a pore and quickly multiply, leading to skin that is red
and swollen.
