NODULAR ACNE TREATMENT CHICO 916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC
Nodular and cystic acne are often confused because they look and feel similar. Nodular acne consists of large, hard, painful bumps which are typically inflamed.
A nodule forms when there is a tear or a break at the bottom of the hair follicle (inside the pore) allowing the contents of the acne lesion to drain into the deeper layers of tissue known as the dermis. The once sterile environment of the dermis, now becomes contaminated with oil, bacteria and cellular debris, which triggers an inflammatory response and an infection follows.
Nodules can be a source of deep scarring. Picking only makes the condition worse by either creating a tear in the follicle that wasn't already there, or, forcing more of the contents into the dermis. An acne specialist will be able to differentiate between acne lesions and provide you with a protocol to treat your acne and heal your skin.
