Moderate acne
If you have papules (raised reddish bumps) or pustules (the same raised reddish bumps but with white centers) you may have moderate acne, especially if the lesions are widespread across the face or body.
Breakouts last longer than in mild acne and often do not go away.
If over the counter products are not working and you think you have moderate acne, you should visit your doctor who can decide if you need a different treatment or if you should be referred to a dermatologist.
When moderate acne is not treated early enough, it can leave a permanent scar on the skin, so it’s good to get in early with the right advice.
