There are 4 stages of acne formation.

1) Whitehead

Whitehead forms when pores plug with dead skin, oil sebum, bacteria and dirt under the skin.

Similar to whitehead formation, however, blackhead appears above the skin. This is because excessive trapped materials (i.e dead skin, oil sebum, bacteria, dirt) are pushed out of skin pore. As a result of oxidation, trapped material is darkened.

3) Pustules (or pimples)

If trapped material remains in the pore, bacteria will grow exponentially. It may cause inflammation and swelling of surrounding skin cells finally become pimple.

4) Cyst

In worse case, pimples fill with fluid, form acne bumps. Very likely, acne scarring will occur.
