Acne breakouts occur when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This can lead to a variety of skin lesions, including:
- Whiteheads: Small, white bumps that are closed comedones.
- Blackheads: Small, black bumps that are open comedones.
- Papules: Small, red, inflamed bumps.
- Pustules: Papules with a white or yellow center filled with pus.
- Nodules: Large, hard, painful bumps that are located deep in the skin.
- Cysts: Large, painful bumps that are filled with pus.
Other terms for skin breakouts:
- Pimples: A common term for acne breakouts.
- Zits: A slang term for acne breakouts.
- Spots: A general term for any type of skin blemish, including acne breakouts.
Note: It's important to remember that acne breakouts are a common skin condition, and there are many effective treatments available. If you are experiencing persistent or severe acne breakouts, it is always best to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment.
