Inflammatory acne
Acne & Pores
염증성 여드름
Acne that becomes red and swollen or forms pus, including papules, pustules and nodules.
What kind of condition it is
As bacteria multiply inside a blocked pore and an immune reaction occurs, it is accompanied by redness, pain and swelling. Nodules and cysts that form deep down readily leave scars.
Good to know
When inflammation is severe, calming and controlling the inflammation often takes priority over care with strong stimulation. The care required differs according to how far it has progressed.
