There are two main types of acne

Acne shouldn't be a reason to avoid that selfie opp. Just play "Name That Zit" to find out what's going on so you can pinpoint the problem and take action to banish breakouts.

CliffsNotes: There are two main types of acne

Non-inflammatory, mild to moderate: whiteheads and blackheads
Inflammatory, moderate to severe: papules, pustules, nodules and cysts

The main difference between the two is that non-inflammatory acne is not red or painful because your body hasn't done battle against the infection yet. Inflammatory acne is red and swollen and may stay put, which means you might need to consult a professional.

Name That Zit
	What is It	What Causes It	Where It Shows Up	What it Looks Like
Whiteheads	These are pimples that stay under the surface of the skin.	Whiteheads form when your pores get clogged. Because they're not exposed to the air, they're white.	Whiteheads pop up on the face but may also appear on your chest.
Blackheads	These pimples rise to the skin's surface and look black. But don't be fooled by the color - it's not dirt.	Blackheads form when clogged pores are exposed to air.	T-Zone, but they can show up wherever you have a lot of face or body peach fuzz.
Papules	These are small pink or red bumps that can be tender if touched.	Papules occur as a result of oil and bacteria trapped in your pores.	Any area of your body where you have a little extra hair.
Pustules	These painful zits are red on bottom and yellow or white pus on top.	Pustules occur as a result of a pore infection.	Commonly found on the face, neck and back.
Nodules	These are large, painful and/or solid pimples that are deep in the skin.	Nodules occur as a result of a severe pore infection and usually require professional treatment.	You'll find them on the face, neck and back.
Cysts	These painful, pus-filled pimples that form deep under the skin can cause scars.	Cysts occur as a result of a severe pore infection underneath your skin and usually require pro treatment.	They also develop on the face, neck and back.

You don't have to live with acne. Once you know what you're dealing with, you can take action and get clear, healthy skin fast.
