Variations Of
Server Acne
Severe forms or acne affects few people. However,
they present great hardship to the people who
suffer. They are extremely disfiguring and can
cause psychological effects on the sufferer.
Acne conglobata
Acne conglobata is
a chronic and severe form of acne vulgaris (common
acne). It is usually characterized by deep
abscesses, severe inflammation, severe damage to the
skin, scarring, blackheads are usually conspicuous
and widespread. It often appears on the face,
chest, back, thighs, upper arms and buttocks. It
usually affects those whose age is between 18-30
years old.
In acne conglobata, inflammatory nodules form around
multiple comedones, gradually increasing in size
until they break down and discharge pus. Deep ulcers
may form under the nodules, leading to keloid-type
scars, and crusts may form over deeply ulcerated
nodules
Acne conglobata may be preceded by acne cyst,
papules or pustules that do not heal, but instead
rapidly deteriorate. Occasionally, acne conglobata
flares up in acne that had been dormant for many
years.
Acne fulminans
Acne fulminans
is a sudden onset of highly destructive
inflammation, which normally afflicts young men.
Symptoms of severe nodulocystic, often ulcerating
acne, aching joints and fever are apparent. It may
result from unsuccessful treatment of acne
conglobata. It does not respond well to
antibiotics, so accutane and oral steroids are
normally prescribed. Corticosteroids or
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be
given to reduce inflammation. Attacks of acne
fulminans may recur, and the patient may develop
acne that requires long-term treatment with
isotretinoin.
Gram-negative folliculitis
Gram-negative folliculitis
is
a complication of abused and long- term use of
antibiotic. Patients with this type of acne are
usually treated with accutane since it is known to
be effective against gram- negative bacteria. The
word “Gram” refers to a blue stain used in
laboratories to detect microscopic organisms.
Certain bacteria do not stain blue and are called
“Gram negative.”
Pyoderma faciale
Pyoderma faciale is
the type of acne that affects females mainly
belonging to the 20-40 age groups. It is confined to
the face, appears suddenly as both deep and
superficial cystic lesions of the face with
interconnecting "tunnels" between cysts, reddish
inflammation of the skin, and slight swelling
(edema) of the skin, rarely persists more than a
year or so, and is not associated with oily skin.
Severe types of acne cannot be remedied at home.
Take my word or it. Go and see your doctor or
dermatologist before your condition worsen.
Remember that beautiful skin reflects satisfactory
health.
