the sebum production and bacteria starts to grow.
Treatment: Salicylic acid to reduce stickiness of the 
dead cells + benzoyl peroxide to reduce overpopula
tion of bacteria.
Whiteheads
These are clogged pores that are closed at the skin 
surface.
Treatment: Glycolic Acid + topical antibiotics
Pustule
When white skin cells enter the bacteria infected 
pimple, a pus is formed.
Treatment: Salicylic acid + drying lotion + healing 
mask
Cyst or Nodule
Cysts are painful. The excessive buildup spills into 
surrounding tissue, which causes scarring and
bleeding.
Treatment: Doctor prescribed Accutane.
