Acne lesions range in severity from comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) to nodules and cysts. Here is a brief definition of acne lesions:

Comedo (plural comedones)-A comedo is a sebaceous follicle plugged with sebum, dead cells from inside the sebaceous follicle, tiny hairs, and sometimes bacteria. When a comedo is open, it is commonly called a blackhead because the surface of the plug in the follicle has a blackish appearance. The antioxidant Acnezine regulates the sebaceous glands thus controlling the oil secretion and stops acne growth permanently. Neither blackheads nor whiteheads should be squeezed or picked open, unless extracted by a dermatologist under sterile conditions.

Papule-A papule is defined as a small (5 millimeters or less), solid lesion slightly elevated above the surface of the skin. A group of very small papules and microcomedones may be almost invisible but have “sandpaper” feel to the touch. A papule is caused by localized cellular reaction to the process of acne. Prolong treatment with Acnezine smoothes the lesion to a great extent.Pustule-a dome-shaped, fragile lesion containing pus that typically consists of a mixture of white blood cells, dead skin cells, and bacteria. A pustule that forms over a sebaceous follicle usually has a hair in the center. Acne pustules that heal without progressing to cystic form usually leave no scars.

Nodule-like a papule, a nodule is a solid, dome-shaped or irregularly shaped lesion. Unlike a papule, a nodule is characterized by inflammation, extends into deeper layers of the skin and may cause tissue destruction that results in scarring. A nodule may be very painful. Nodular acne is a severe form of acne that may not respond to therapies other than isotretinoin.

Cyst-a cyst is a sac-like Acne lesion containing liquid or semi-liquid material consisting of white blood cells, dead cells, and bacteria. It is larger than a pustule, may be severely inflamed, extends into deeper layers of the skin, may be very painful, and can result in scarring. Cysts and nodules often occur together in a severe form of acne called nodulocystic.

Acnezine is the answer to all these acne lesions for it is a natural product with no side effects and guarantees positive result if treated for a considerable period of time.

In acne, pimples, blackheads and whiteheads take away the smooth luster of our complexion. But do you ever wonder what they really are? How they are different from each other or are they all the same?

What are pimples?
Pimples (often used synonymously with the term acne) are red, inflamed raised skin lesions that contain a small amount of pus. They usually develop after blackheads or whiteheads become infected, and are caused by clogged or infected pores.

How do pimples develop?
A pimple starts when a pore (an opening in the skin) gets plugged up. The pore has a tiny hair in it and oil glands at its base. The cells which line the pores are so small that they can only be seen with a microscope. During adolescence these cells are shed quickly. In some people the cells and oil stick together and form sebum which plugs the pore. If the pore is open, the result is a blackhead. If the pore is closed, a whitehead is formed.
The whitehead is the beginning of a pimple. It forms when the sebum escapes from the pore wall and gets under the skin. The body tries to clean out the sebum and brings in the white blood cells to do the work. The result is a pimple. When the sebum gets deeper under the skin, a cyst can form. Some pimples may be painful.
Here are some more detailed definitions of these acne-related terms:
Blackheads: Blackheads are open plugged oil glands (the oil turns black when it’s exposed to the air). It should be remembered that unless they are squeezed, blackheads do not usually cause pimples. Blackheads are not black from dirt, but from certain skin pigments (coloring) in the cells of the pores.
Whiteheads: Also known as a closed comedo, white heads are nothing but the closed plugged oil glands.
Pustule: These are red, inflamed, infected plugged oil glands, sometimes filled with pus.
Cyst: A cyst is a deep and uncomfortable swelling of the skin. In severe cases of acne, cysts (large fluid-filled bumps) may develop under the skin.
