FACE REALITY - ACNE TYPES AND
SEVERITY ASSESSMENT EXAMS WITH
CORRECT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Inflamed Acne - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️Inflamed with redness, pimples, pustules and possibly cysts.
It is usually hot or warm to the touch and bleeds quite easily when extractions are performed. Skin with
inflamed acne is usually quite sensitive that you will want to start slowly with products. (easiest type of
skin to clear as it is very responsive to products)
Non-imflamed Acne - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️It looks dull sluggish and has a pebbly appearance with
lots of open and closed comedones. An open come-done also known as a black head, the tip of the plug
darkens as it is exposed to the oxygen in the environment, contrary to popular belief blackheads are not
caused by dirt, it is a plug of dead skin cells and sebum that is discolored, when the end of the plug gets
exposed to air it oxidizes and turns the dark color, hence giving the blackhead apt name. A closed come-
done is also known as a white head, which is basically a blackhead that has not been matured to a
blackhead yet, as the pore remains closed. Because the pore is closed to air it does not discolor like the
blackhead does, it just looks like congestion and bumps under the skin. If there are a lot of closed
comedones it is called maturation arrest acne, this means that the come-done has not matured into an
open come-done yet. (Most of the time non-imflammed acne is not sensitive or reactive to products.)
Combination Acne - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️Combination acne is what you will mostly see in acne
clients. It is a combination of both inflamed and not inflamed lesions. You want to treat them with an
inflamed acne protocol first and then when the inflammation goes down, you can start treating them
with non-inflamed acne left over. The inflamed lesions will almost always clear first and you will want to
explain that non-inflamed acne almost alway takes longer to clear. Then you will have to be more
aggressive in getting the non-inflamed lesions under control.
Mild Severity - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️10 lesions or less on each side of their face
Moderate - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️10-30 lesions on each side of their face
Severe - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️30 lesions or more on each side of their face
