    GlossarySevere Acne

    serious skin condition with large, painful, inflamed cysts and nodules

    Severe acne, also known as cystic acne or nodulocystic acne, is a serious skin condition characterized by large, painful, and inflamed lesions called cysts and nodules. These deep-seated lesions can lead to significant scarring and are often resistant to over-the-counter treatments, typically requiring intervention from a dermatologist, such as prescription medications or specialized therapies.
