Signs and Symptoms of Acne

Acne takes several forms:

  • Whiteheads - clogged hair follicles under the surface of the skin
  • Blackheads - clogged hair follicles that are open to the surface of the skin
  • Pimples - inflamed or infected hair follicles
  • Cysts - thick lumps beneath the skin caused by secretion build-up in the hair follicle
