Acne vulgaris symptoms

Acne is usually found in adolescents going through puberty but can also be caused due to a change in hormone levels. The most common symptoms of acne include whiteheads or blackheads, small red bumps, pimples or painful lumps under the skin. These usually appear on the face, chest, upper back and shoulders.

Different types of acne

Acne can vary in its severity. Mild acne usually involves whiteheads and blackheads with a small number of papules and pustules. More moderate and severe acne is categorised by a larger number of papules and pustules. Severe acne may also include occasionally inflamed nodules.
