Inflamed Acne
There are two types of acne, with the more noticeable of the two being inflamed acne. Inflamed acne is more visible because it causes redness and swelling in and around the affected area. This type of acne may involve all of the symptoms listed above as well as oozing from the areas as well as crusting as they heal. Inflamed acne can range in severity from very mild to very severe.
