Severe Acne
Severe Acne There are at least four types of acne that are considered serious by many dermatologists and others in the medical field.
This includes the types of lesions it produces on the body and the long-term effects it may have. For patients, including scars.
This extreme acne affects more than just the body; it can affect every aspect of a person's life.
The pain and pain of dealing with these potentially disfiguring forms of acne cannot be overstated, but it does not take into account the emotional and psychological aspects that will reduce the quality of life and permanently destroy self-esteem.
Acne Conglobata
Acne conglobata is the most serious form of acne vulgaris.
This extreme acne is usually characterized by the appearance of large and numerous nodules, usually interconnected, and accompanied by extensive blackheads.
Because these lesions can be ulcers, they can cause severe and irreversible damage to the skin, including disfigurement scars.
Acne conglobata is common on the face, chest, back, buttocks, upper arms, and thighs.
The age of onset of acne conglobata is usually between 18 and 30 years old, and men are more likely to develop this disease than women.
It should also be noted that acne conglobata can remain active for many years, dormant until something makes it reappear.
As with all types of acne, the cause of acne conglobata is unclear.
Acne Fulminans
This severe acne is actually a sudden onset of conglomerate acne that usually affects young men.
The symptoms of severe nodular cystic acne are obvious, and ulcers usually form.
As in normal cases of acne conglobata, the lesions cover most of the limbs and face, including disfigurement scars that will eventually form. However, acne fulminant is unique in that it also includes symptoms such as fever, joint pain (especially knees and hips), and varying degrees of weight loss, depending on the individual.
Gram-negative Folliculitis
Gram-negative folliculitis is an extreme form of acne caused by inflammation of the hair follicles caused by bacterial infection-this condition is characterized by pustules and cysts.
In some cases, it has been determined that its development is caused by complications caused by long-term antibiotic treatment of acne vulgaris.
The reason this form of acne is called "Gram negative" is related to the fact that Gram bacteria is a blue dye used in microbiological laboratory tests.
Bacteria that do not stain blue are called "Gram-negative bacteria".
Like other extreme or severe acne, Gram-negative folliculitis is a rare disease, and we don't know whether it is more common in men or women, because both are documented.
Pyoderma Faciale
This severe acne only affects women, usually between 20 and 40 years old.
It is characterized by large, painful nodules, pustules, and sores that may leave scars. Facial pyoderma can suddenly form on the skin of women who have never had acne before.
Generally speaking, this extreme acne is limited to the face.
Although it usually does not last for more than a year, it can cause great damage in a short period of time.
