When it comes to acne, most individuals don’t know about nodules and cystic lesions, unless, of course, they suffer from this particular presentation of acne. Nodules are hard and painful lumps beneath the skin and are often fairly large when compared to other presentations of acne, like whiteheads. Cystic lesions, which are often referred to as cystic acne, are also painful lumps found beneath the surface of the skin, though they are also filled with pus. Cystic acne is considered a far more severe form of acne than the others, and, unfortunately, causes more issues with self-esteem, particularly since it can be incredibly frustrating to treat.
