What is nodular acne?
All acne begins with a trapped pore. Oil (sebum) mixes with dead skin cells, clogging your pores. This combination often causes blackheads and whiteheads to form.
Nodular acne also involves bacteria called p. acne. Although it’s normal to have this type of bacteria on your skin, it can turn into an infection when it gets trapped in your pores alongside sebum and dead skin cells. The resulting infection can go deep underneath your skin, causing the affected pores to become red and swollen.
Because it causes issues deep within the skin, nodular acne is considered a more severe form of acne. Unlike other types of acne, such as blackheads, acne nodules can’t be cleared up with over-the-counter (OTC) products alone.
