For anyone who has ever had the unfortunate experience of acne, the appearance of pimples has led many to believe that dirt must have been the primary cause.

Classifying Acne – 2 Acne Stages That Define Your Skin's Condition

When you are about to visit your dermatologist, he or she will classify your acne as being in 2 stages. This helps them and you better understand where your skin is at, and what the best course of treatment will be.

Here are the 2 acne stages that define your skin’s condition.

1) Non-inflammatory acne:- If you’re in this category, your skin isn’t as flared and you will primarily have only whiteheads and blackheads, also commonly known as comedonal acne, because it’s characterized by comedones.

2) Inflammatory acne:- Being in this category, you will be experiencing the full onset of acne, papules or pustules, purple or red macules and nodules, which is often termed as “cysts” or cystic acne. This form of acne is also the most severe and most painful.
