Acne ranges from mild to severe...
From whiteheads and blackheads (comedones)
Whiteheads=Closed comedones - Plugs of sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria below the skin surface. These plugs are white because the sebum (oil) has not been exposed to air.

Blackheads=Open comedones - Enlarged plugs in pores that appear black because they have pushed through to the skin's surface and the sebum darkens when it is exposed to air. It is a MYTH that blackheads cause dirt1. Click here for other common acne myths

To inflamed pimples...
Papules - Red, irritated bumps that are often painful to touch
Pustules - Papules containing pus, often surrounded by a red base

To nodules, cysts, and abscesses.
Nodule - Solid, painful lesions that reach down into the skin, often damaging the deeper skin tissue
Cyst - Sac-like lesions that extend even further into the skin, sometimes leading to scarring or formation of craters deep in the skin called abscesses.
Abscesses - Craters that can permanently damage healthy deep tissue.
