Types of Acne Lesions and How To Cure Them!


Now let's take a look at the different types of acne lesions. First of all what is a lesion? A lesion is a physical change in body tissue that is caused as a resort of injury or disease. Lesions could be either external or internal. External lesions include knife cut, psoriatic plaque, skin cancer, acne. While internal lesions include: cirrhosis of the liver, lung cancer and atherosclerosis in a blood vessel.

Okay now back to acne. Acne lesions are classified according to their severity. It could range from comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) to nodules and cysts. Let's explain a little bit on these acne lesions.

Comedo (plural comedones) - A comedo is a sebaceous follicle that has been plugged with tiny hairs, bacteria, sebum and dead cells from inside the sebaceous follicle. A blackhead is a comedo that is open, and it called so because the surface of the plug in the follicle has a color that tends towards black. You should never attempt to pick or squeeze either a blackhead or whitehead. Only a dermatologist under sterile conditions should be allowed to extract the pus in an acne pimple. Some acne treatment products like AcneZine contain antioxidants and this is helpful in regulating the sebaceous glands, this controls the oil secretion and prevents acne from developing.

Papule - A papule is a small solid acne lesion that is raised a little bit above the surface of the skin surface. A cluster of small papules and microcomedones can look almost invisible, but would feel slightly rough to touch. A papule is the result of a localized cellular reaction to the process of acne. Acne treatments like AcneZine smoothes the lesion to a great extent, while Dermefface FX7 lightens the scar tremendously. Here is a video about this brand new product!

Pustule- This is a dome-shaped easily broken lesion that contains pus, which consist of a mixture of dead skin cells, bacteria and white blood cells. A pustule that develops over a sebaceous follicle usually has a hair in its center. Acne pustules that heal without developing to the cystic form usually leave no acne scars.

Nodule- these acne lesions are just like papules. A nodule is a solid, dome-shaped or irregularly shaped lesion. But unlike papules, nodules are characterized by inflammation and project into deeper layers of the skin and sometimes may cause tissue damage that result in scarring. In some instances nodules may be very painful. Nodular acne is a severe form of acne that may not respond to acne treatments other than isotretinoin.

Cyst- this is a bag-like lesion that contains semi-liquid or liquid materials consisting of white blood cells, bacteria and dead cells. It is bigger than a pustule and is usually severely inflamed and projects deeper into layers of skin. Cysts are usually very painful and they could result in scarring. A severe form of acne called nodulocystic is usually a combination of cysts and nodules appearing on the skin.

If you are currently disturbed by any of these acne lesions, there is no need to be worried. What you need is an acne treatment that would combat your acne breakouts from its roots and on the surface. Products like AcneZine System and ClearPores System include supplements that would help balance the hormones that cause the sebaceous glands to produce too much oil. And they also contain topical acne treatments that are applied on the skin surface to combat acne causing bacteria from doing their dirty work! And the good thing about these products is that they are made from plant and herbal extracts. This results in no negative side effects and they guarantee positive results when used.

Which Adult Acne Product Is The Best?


Adult Acne is not a simple condition to treat. It is a skin disease that affects each individual differently. Every case of serious acne has to be looked at as an individual case in order to be properly treated. There is no catch-all acne treatment that can be used for every case. Furthermore, a lot of trial and error is usually needed in order to find an effective treatment individual by individual.

There are many acne products that are mass-marketed as the best cure for acne. It is very important to realize that products that are marketed towards acne sufferers and that can be bought off the shelf in the supermarket, do not cure acne. They manage, mask or suppress the symptoms of acne.

It is important to recognize this as well as to realize that adult acne is not a result of bad hygiene. If your acne is progressively getting worse do not think that it is enough to wash your skin often and to use an over the counter product. If your acne is getting worse, you might have to seek medical advice for stronger products that might only be available with a prescription. Check this video for a product that can wipe your scars away!

Adult acne treatments vary from being off the shelf, over-the-counter creams, prescribed and surgical. Over the counter acne products are usually topical medicines that contain Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. These are usually used to treat mild cases of acne where an individual is attempting to halt the progression of lesions and clear up some troublesome acne pimples. They can also be used during severe stages of acne in combination with another treatment.

Doctors usually recommend that the infected area be washed very gently with warm water and a mild soap and then the topical acne treatment applied.

When acne progresses to the moderate or severe stage, doctors and dermatologists will usually use a combination of treatments in order for maximum effectiveness in halting any further development of the skin disease. Light therapy and extraction are often used at the moderate stage, in combination with an oral antibiotic or a retinoid cream, depending on the observations and recommendations of your doctor.

If you try over the counter products and they do not work. Do not give up thinking that you have an incurable case of acne. There are natural acne treatments that are now available to acne sufferers. These products usually fight acne with a double combination method. First they attack the root of the problem which is hormonal imbalance through the use of an herbal supplement. And then they fight acne causing bacteria by using a topical acne medication.

AcneZine was the product I used to get relief from acne. My face used to be a "battle ground" for adult acne. This was very frustrating considering that my can started in my late teens (17 years). Now my skin is much better. You can have the same success that I had when using any of the following natural adult acne treatments:

Did You Know ACNEZINE can combat all types of acne scars?


Acne scars are much more common that doctors used to believe; most individuals have scars that are mild. However in some case there are scars that would look more significant even to others. The best way to prevent acne scars is to treat the root cause acne right away. As even mild acne pimples can cause scarring. This approach would help get those ugly looking scars off your face. Therefore what you need is a product that can clear acne off your face. AcneZine is one product that can help treat different types of acne that leave behind acne scars.

Acne scars occur as a result of two types of tissue response to the inflammation of acne. These tissue responses are: increased tissue formation, and loss of tissue.

Increased Tissue Formation

Keloids or hypertrophic scars are scars caused by increased tissue formation. Hypertrophy simply means "enlargement" or "overgrowth". Both hypertrophic and keloid scars contain too much quantities of the cell substance collagen. Increased production of collagen is usually a response of skin cells to injury. The excess collagen then becomes piled up in fibrous masses. This results in a firm, smooth and irregularly shaped scar. Keloids is usually a hereditary thing, there is a genetic predisposition to develop keloids after tissue injury. African-Americans often have a tendency to develop keloid.

AcneZine, the natural medication for acne treatment serves a major role reducing such types of acne, while Dermeface fx7 can help lighten the scars considerably...

Acne Scars Resulting From Loss of Tissues

Acne scars that are as a result of loss of tissue are much more common than scars that result from increased tissue formation. There are several types of these scars. Ice-pick scars are called so because of their appearance. They may be shallow or deep and they are usually small in diameter and have sharp sides like that of an ice-pick wound. They may be hard or soft to the touch; The soft acne scars are more shallow, while the hard scars are usually deeper. The base of hard scars is usually wider under the skin than at the surface of the skin. Depressed fibrotic acne scars are usually large scars that have sharp margins and steep sides. They look just like deep chicken pox scars. Superficial and deep soft scars are variable in size, and have sloping edges that merge with normal skin.


Follicular macular atrophy is more likely to occur on the chest or back of a person with acne. These are small, white, soft lesions, often barely raised above the surface of the skin—somewhat like whiteheads that didn't fully develop. This condition is sometimes also called "perifollicular elastolysis." The lesions may persist for months to years.

There are many types of treatment to cure Acne. But AcneZine is a natural acne removal medication with no side effects! There are some other acne treatment products that can help completely erase acne off your skin, these products are:

The Truth About Benzoyl Peroxide and How it Treats Adult Acne!



Here is the real truth about Benzoyl peroxide and how it can help you treat your adult acne breakouts!!



In most topical adult acne treatments, Benzoyl peroxide is usually present as one of its ingredient. It is very effective in treating mild cases of non inflammatory adult acne. It can be combined with other topical acne medications.

How Does Benzoyl Peroxide Work?

The way Benzoyl peroxide combats acne is by destroying P.acnes, which is the bacterium that causes adult acne. It doubles as both an oxidizing agent and an antiseptic, by reducing the amount of block hair pores or comedones on the skin. It usually takes 2-3 weeks before you notice any improvement on your skin when using it.

NOTE : Although Benzoyl peroxide destroys existing P. acnes (acne causing bacteria), it does not increase your body's resistance to bacteria. Even when the intensity of your adult acne pimples begins to reduce, you should keep treating areas that are acne prone. This is because although it kills the adult acne causing bacteria, it does not affect the rate at which sebum is produced by the sebaceous glands or the rate at which your skin sheds dead skin cells. When you stop using it, the acne causing bacteria and your acne pimples would return.

Where Do You Get Benzoyl Peroxide?

It is found as an ingredient in most topical acne scar treatments. It could be in form of gels, creams, lotions and cleansers in non-prescription medications. It is usually in concentrations of 2.5%, 5% and 10%. Prescription medications such as Duac™™, BenzaClin®© and Benzamycin®© contain Benzoyl peroxide. Before you go using just any product that contains Benzoyl peroxide, you must read the label carefully and follow the directions for proper use.

What Are The Side Effects of Benzoyl Peroxide?

Dryness : This is the most common side effects of using Benzoyl peroxide. The dryness is usually mild; your skin might look visibly scaly. All you need to do is apply a light oil-free moisturizer.

Note: If you experience dryness, dermatitis or irritation and you are using either a 10% or 5% concentration of Benzoyl peroxide solution, you may need to give your skin time to heal and then try a lower strength.

Irritation: if you experience mild irritation, then you might have to decrease the frequency of use. If your irritation is severe or persists even when you apply infrequently, then stop use.

Dermatitis :If you experience red, dry, itchy skin when using Benzoyl peroxide, it could be due to irritation or allergy. You have to discontinue use immediately and treat with a mild topical steroid (such as hydrocortisone cream), which is available in most pharmacies.

Allergy : 1-2% of the population experiences a mild allergic reaction when using Benzoyl peroxide. This is usually shown as redness and itching.

One last thing to note about Benzoyl peroxide is that it can bleach clothes and linens. So make sure your skin is completely dry before touching any cloth.

Asides using a topical acne treatment, the best way to combat adult acne are from the inside and the outside. When you use a supplement that balances your hormones and prevents your sebaceous glands from producing too much sebum in combination with a topical acne treatment that fights acne causing bacteria, you can be sure to get a clearer and a smoother skin. Products like the AcneZine system and the Clearpores system consist of this double action method of fighting acne.

Using any of these two acne treatment products to combat your adult acne is sure to give you a better looking skin texture!
