Different Types of Pimples and How to Treat Them?
Posted by Judy Cheung-Wood on


Blackheads
Blackheads are non-inflamed clogged pores, very similar to whiteheads. Blackheads are on the surface of the skin though and are exposed to air. The air oxidizes the oil from your body that is present in the clogged pore and as a result turns black.
Papules
A papule is when a clogged pore like a whitehead or a blackhead gets irritated and becomes inflamed. Once it gets inflamed it becomes bigger and turns red, not to mention it also hurts. Papules look like small red bumps (although some can be big) and are normally elevated above the skin by a small amount.
