In your journey to clear skin, it’s important to know what type of acne you have. After learning about Understanding Acne Origins, let’s now look at different types of acne and how to treat them. This knowledge will help you make better choices for your skin. Let’s continue our path to clearer and healthier skin.
How Severe is Your Type of Acne?
First, you need to figure out how bad your acne is. Acne can be mild, moderate, or severe. Here’s a simple guide to help you:
- Mild Acne: 10 or fewer pimples at any time.
- Moderate Acne: 10 to 30 pimples at any time.
- Severe Acne: 30 or more pimples at any time.
Types of Acne
Acne can show up in different ways, and each type of acne needs a different treatment. Here are the main types of acne:
Non-Inflamed Acne: This type includes blackheads and whiteheads. They happen when pores get blocked by oil and dead skin cells. Sometimes, you might see small bumps under your skin. To treat this, use products that exfoliate, like retinol and glycolic acid serums. These help keep your skin clear.
Inflamed Acne: This type includes red pimples, pustules, and cysts. They happen when bacteria, oil, and dead skin cells clog your pores, causing redness and swelling. To treat this, use products with mandelic acid and benzoyl peroxide. Icing the area can also help reduce swelling. Keep your skin hydrated with gels and moisturizers, and always use sunscreen.
Combination Acne: This type has both inflamed and non-inflamed acne. It’s more stubborn and needs a special plan. Use a combination of treatments to target both types. Start by treating the inflamed pimples first.
Other Skin Conditions
Sometimes, other skin problems look like acne. Knowing the difference helps you get the right treatment.
- Acne Rosacea: Looks like acne but includes redness, sensitivity, and sometimes a burning feeling. It usually affects people over 30. Treating rosacea needs a different approach.
- Maturation Arrest Acne: Small bumps under the skin that are hard to get rid of. They aren’t red or painful but make your skin uneven. You’ll need expert advice to treat this.
- Folliculitis: Red, itchy, or painful bumps caused by infected hair follicles. Treatment depends on whether it’s caused by bacteria or fungi.
The Path to Clear Skin
Consistency is important in your skincare routine. Using the right products will speed up your progress. Some people see improvement in a few weeks, but severe cases might take 90 days or more. Most people get clear skin within six to nine months. Keep learning about acne and stick to your skincare plan.
