Types Of Acne
What it looks like and how to manage yours
Everyone is different and so is their experience of acne.
Some people will only develop a few small pimples, while others experience large, deep, painful lumps or cysts under their skin – a severe form of acne.
There are different ways to manage or treat each type of acne.
You can get some treatments over-the-counter at your local pharmacy, but for others you will need to visit your GP or dermatologist.
Here’s an overview of what each type of acne looks like – from smaller, mild breakouts, to large cystic acne – and who can help.
