Individual lesions focus on the pilosebaceous unit, that is, the hair<\/span> follicle<\/span> and its associated sebaceous gland. There are several types of acne blemishes, often at the same time. They may be inflamed papules<\/span>, pustules<\/span> and nodules<\/span>; or not inflamed comedones<\/span> and pseudocysts<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/span>Superficial injuries<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Open and closed comedones (blackheads and whiteheads)<\/li>\n
- Papules (small, tender red bumps)<\/li>\n
- Pustules (white or yellow \u201csqueeze\u201d spots)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Deeper injuries<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Nodules (large, painful red bumps)<\/li>\n

Some dermatologists assess the severity of a patient's acne more accurately using a classification. scale<\/span>. Inflammatory lesions are compared to a standard set of photographs to determine the grade, which can range from 1 (very mild) to 12 (exceptionally severe), for example.<\/p>\nIn clinical trials evaluating acne treatment, the number of non-inflamed and inflamed lesions is carefully counted at regular intervals. It is remarkably difficult to count constantly.<\/p>\n
