Acne vulgaris:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
The acne plug may appear as a closed comedo, or whitehead (if it doesn’t protrude from the follicle and is covered by the epidermis), or as an open comedo, or blackhead (if it does protrude and isn’t covered by the epidermis). The black coloration is caused by the melanin or pigment of the follicle. Rupture or leakage of an enlarged plug into the dermis produces inflammation and characteristic acne pustules, papules or, in severe forms, acne cysts or abscesses. Chronic, recurring lesions produce acne scars.
