Most acne sufferers when they reflect about acne, they typically just think about pimples, whiteheads and blackheads, and/ or minor blemishes. The fact of the matter though is, acne can actually exceed beyond just those symptoms. It can actually get to a point where you are developing cysts and nodules on your skin. When you have these symptoms, you have what is known as cystic acne. The lesions that you will get from having cystic acne tend to be a lot bigger in size than a regular pimple and far more grotesque. They are easily inflamed, hard to the touch, and also have the tendency to hurt. They are infected with bacteria, so white- yellow pus resides within them. Though it may be habitual to squeeze the pus out, I should warn you that doing so more likely than not will lead to more bacteria getting into the newly opened wound, making it worse, and causing a lot more inflammation. You are better off not even touching them.
