Acne Symptoms

Symptoms of Acne

Acne shows up in different  types of blemishes:

• White-heads - Spots that bulge under the skin and have no opening
• Blackheads - Dark spots with open pores at the center.
• Pimples [Red bumps] - Persistent, recurrent red spots or swellings on the skin; they may become inflamed or pus-filled, and typically appear on the face, chest, shoulders, neck, or upper portion of the back, particularly in adolescents.
• Pustules - Red swellings or lumps, sometimes visibly filled with pus or cycsts, which develop from blackheads or whiteheads.
• Cysts or Nodules - Inflamed, fluid-filled lumps under the skin, which may become as large as an inch across.
• Rosacea - Abnormally flushed cheeks and nose are a sign of rosacea, an acne-like disorder that affects adults; mostly women over 30 years of age.
  

Identifying whether the blemishes are acne or pre-acne is the first and the key step in treating Acne in teenagers. Most treatments focus on symptoms, but a full acne diagnosis will identify and address the root cause, instead of just treating the visible lesions.

To avoid the risk of permanent scars, it's important to treat teenage acne as soon as the first signs appear. Clearogen is safe and effective for everyone, and it can help prevent skin blemishes from becoming a larger problem.
