Cysts and nodules are type of highly infected and painful acne. They cause scars and cause psychological damage. How to treat them faster? Let us find out what is highly painful and infected acne.

Let us talk about what is acne-

Acne is a disease of hair follicles. Acne is common term for the disease, which may develop in different stages. The last stage is cysts and nodules. We have hair follicles all over our body except a few places such as lips, palms and the soles of our feet. These follicles are connected with sebaceous glands. Hair grows out from these hair follicles. When the pores of the hair follicles get blocked, acne develops. The uneven shedding of skin cells blocks the pore. These cells block the pore and make sebum remain inside the follicle. This is acne.

In the first stage, acne begins as whiteheads and blackheads. Blackheads are called open comedones and whiteheads are called closed comedones. The second stage of acne is pimples or zits. They are also known as papules and pustules. Pimples form when the plugged pores get inflamed. When pimples get further infected and inflamed, the third stage of acne develops. These are called as nodules and cysts.

Cysts and nodules-

In the third stage of Acne Vulgaris, large infected and inflamed lesions form. They invariably cause scars and may also be very painful.

Nodular Acne-

A nodule is a solid dome-shaped inflamed lesion. Nodules are much bigger than papules and may be very painful. Nodules reach deeper in the skin and cause scars. Nodules do not get cured with OTC medication. Prescription medication may be required for treatment of nodules.

Cystic Acne-

A cyst is a severe form of pustule that is filled with bacteria, white blood cells, sebum and dead skin cells. Cysts can be very painful and extend inside the skin damaging the skin tissue. Cysts invariably cause a scar. Cysts may need to be drained before treatment. Prescription medication may be required for treatment of cysts. In the next article we will find out more about the treatments.

    If you are one among the many thousands of teenagers or adults that suffer from acne infections on your torso, you have probably been looking for information on how to eliminate acne on your back.

    Nobody wants to be spotty. It is a universal truth. Regardless of how old we become--bad skin, be it the rare zit or full blown acne--is shameful. Acne, in particular, can be a problem for us for much longer than we had counted on when we first entered puberty as young adults. For a long time we've covered our faces with high-priced chemicals and products hoping to keep the acne far from us. But what if you could clear up your skin in much easier and less harmful ways?

    No one really wants to be affected with zits. It really is just the simple truth. It doesn't matter how old we become, zits, pimples, acne -- terrible skin in whatever form it takes -- is embarrassing. Acne, in particular, can be a plague for us for considerably longer than we had counted on when we first entered puberty as young adults. We spend years slathering ourselves with every chemical and acne fighter we can find.

    No one wishes to be seriously affected with spots. It is a universal truth. It doesn't matter how old we get, zits, pimples, acne -- bad skin in any form it takes -- is shameful. Acne particularly can plague us for far longer than we had planned when we were young adults entering puberty. For years we have covered our faces with high-priced chemicals and products aiming to keep the acne from us. What if you could assist your skin without having to be forced to take that type of drastic action?
