When acne appears, we should know if it gives symptoms. It could appear on the face, back, arm, and wherever in our body.  A sebaceous gland is a microscopic exocrine gland in the skin that opens into a hair follicle to secrete an oily or waxy matter, called sebum, which lubricates the hair and skin of mammals (Wikipedia.2022). Acne is a disease that occurs in the sebaceous follicles: 



1. Comedos (First Stage of Acne)

Comedo could appear because an enlarged pore is blocked by sebum. The treatment for comedones is to extract blackheads (open comedones) using gentle pressure around the pore opening, and whiteheads (closed comedones) with an incision using large needle or knife. After comedones extraction is done, keep doing the treatment to prevent reappearance like being more diligent in washing your face, double cleansing, exfoliating, changing pillowcases regularly, avoiding stress, and avoiding foods that trigger acne.

2. Papules (Advanced stage of Acne)

The characteristic of papules is red, relatively small, slightly elevated, sore bumps less than 5mm in diameter that are commonly found on the neck, face, back,  shoulders, chest, and possibly on the upper arms as well. Papules occur when pores are clogged and oil cannot escape to the surface of the skin. The bacteria grow and become raised, red and painful lesions. For papules, we need oral medicine or creams. The most important thing that you have to do is never pop a pimple it will make a scar on your skin.


3. Pustules (More Advanced stage of Acne)

Pustules are the highest stage of acne. It means you need to go to a doctor and consult to get the best treatment based on your skin type. Pustules are small bumps on the skin that contain fluid or pus. The bumps look similar to pimples. Hormonal imbalances in your body cause pustules. Pustules are usually common skin conditions among teenagers until young adults. The best treatment for this case is medication and local surgery (in the extreme case).
