- Blackheads – These are black spots with size of a pinhead and are open on your skin surface. Being superficial in nature they do not leave scars after disappearing.
- Whiteheads – Also called pustules or pimples, these are most common lesions and generally the first that people get. These do not turn black as they are not open to air. They are red and tender bumps with white pus filled inside them.
- Papules – With their tiny raised bumps papules are inflammatory lesions. They too are red and tender, and are sign of infection in the hair follicles.
- Deep acne and cysts – In this form, acne become painful lumps beneath the skin surface and are filled with pus. They have a tendency to cause scars. Also, if deep acne burst they release the pus that can produce more lesions.
