Acne Type 1

This is a mild form of acne that has closed and open comedones, a few whiteheads and blackheads on the skin that can become inflamed if picked at. Even though this is a mild form of acne, if you are a teenager just starting your acne phase and you have a know family history of acne, jump to the Acne Type your family member had. If you do not know, start with Acne Type 3 Treatment plan.

Acne Type 3

Acne Type 3 is the most common type of acne I see with my clients, most of you will fall into this acne type. Acne Type 3 not only has closed comedones, blackheads and whiteheads, the skin constantly has about 7 to 10 inflamed pustules and papules coming to the surface at one time.

Cystic

Acne Type 4

All types of acne are terrible, but Acne Type 4 looks the worst because of the severe inflammation that is red and purplish in color. This type will have all the same leasions as Acne type 3, blackheads, whiteheads, pustuals, and papules plus cystic nodules. This type of acne typically has the worst scaring. But a bit of good new is the inflammation calms quickly when you follow the right protocol.
