Acne is caused when the sebaceous glands and hair follicles in the skin create too much oil and pores become blocked with dead skin, oil and bacteria. This then causes the glands to become inflamed, causing blemishes such as blackheads, whiteheads, spots and small cysts to appear.
Mild Acne is usually defined as having occasional minor breakouts. Mostly whiteheads and blackheads with few papules (small red bumps) and pustules (bumps that contain fluid or puss).
Moderate Acne has more widespread blackheads and whiteheads with many papules and pustules.
Severe Acne consists of lots of large painful papules, pustules, nodules or cysts with some scarring.
