Honestly, there’s no need to panic as there are several ways to prevent these zits and look after them. However, before you guys start the acne treatment, it is crucial for you to understand the type of acne you are suffering from. So, today we’re here to discuss the types of acne in men and ways to deal with them to keep your skin feeling soft, supple, and blemish-free all the time.

Types of acne

1. Forehead acne

   Development of acne on a person’s forehead is common. It’s your skin’s oils causing the problem as your forehead tends to be an area where the skin gets naturally oily. Many factors influence the increase the amount of sebum produced by your body and this sebum triggers the growth of acne and pimples. Some common factors that lead to forehead acne are hormonal changes, strong medications, and hair products that contain lots of chemicals, lack of hygiene, etc.

2. Beard acne

   A well-groomed beard can surely level up your grooming game but having to deal with beard acne is something nobody enjoys. These are the boils that develop inside or underneath your facial hair or beard. Pimples in your beard can be very frustrating, and not to forget painful, which stand out even more if you have less facial hair. It can be caused due to bacterial infection or ingrown hair where your hair gets trapped underneath your skin due to curling back into the skin, which further leads to inflammation. And yes, if it’s due to the bacteria, then your beard acne may also have some pus in the bumps. Either way, this type of acne can lead to serious itching!

3. Maskne

In these times of ‘new normal’, masks have become an integral part of our daily routine. While it protects us from coming in contact with any infections or germs, our skin may not be too excited to wear one, and acts out via ‘maskne’. What is maskne? It's a portmanteau of ‘mask’ and ‘acne.’ It is a common side effect of using a mask and may also result in skin issues such as redness, irritation, bumps, dermatitis, and folliculitis. This happens due to pressure, occlusion and friction.
