Acne Vulgaris
We all know of common acne that is called acne vulgaris. But
there are severe forms of acne that have different names. They are difficult to
treat and cause a lot of mental agony and skin scars. Let us find out something
about the severe forms of acne.
Acne Conglobata
If acne vulgaris suddenly flares up and instead of settling
down begins forming more inflammation and nodules with deep cysts that infect
the deep insides it is called Acne Conglobata. You will find many body parts
full of blackhead sin this and a nodule with surrounding comedones. The nodules
get infected, and after treatment leave scars. This form of acne cannot be
treated with OTC medication. You must approach a doctor and get it treated.
Acne Fulminans
This acne type generally follows untreated acne conglobata.
This causes fever and forms deeper abscesses. Doctors may use steroids and
other anti-inflammatory agents to treat this condition.
Gram Negative Folliculitis
This is not acne, but inflammation of the hair follicle. It
causes pustules around the hair follicle and may even form boils around them.
This is treated with antibiotics. Isotretinoin is commonly used for all severe
forms of acne with other medications.
