Acne Pictures

Acne Pictures can be useful to recognize your acne condition and severity and to prevent severe scars.
Do you really know your acne grade?
There are different degrees of acne, and dermatologists use a grading system to distinguish between mild, moderate and severe cases.


Acne varies in severity from some white heads and blackheads to severe pustular and cystic acne. Knowing how mild or how severe your acne is can help you choose the right acne products.

First of all, evaluate the severity of your acne.

ACNE GRADE I: Comedones (whiteheads and blackheads) only. It is typical of a teenager just beginning puberty.



ACNE GRADE II: Comedones, papules and few pustules. is characterized by a very large number of black-heads, with occasional pustules and papules.



ACNE GRADE III: Comedones, papules, pustules, few nodules. is thought of by most people as "typical teenage acne." It involves large numbers of blackheads and whiteheads and many papules and pustules as well. It is very inflamed and red.



ACNE GRADE IV: is the Cystic Acne with many deep cysts and scar formation.



Current understanding of the different presentations of acne allows for individualized treatments and improved outcomes.

The recognition and treatment of acne are an important part of adolescent and adult practice. The goals of therapy are to prevent scarring, improve self-esteem, and reduce the number and severity of comedones. The chance of scarring increases as the grade of acne increases.
