Pustular acne is a more serious type of acne caused by the rise of hormones during adolescence. The main clinical manifestations are yellow-white inflammatory papules and pustules. Pustular acne begins as small red spots or papules that quickly develop into pea-sized, millet-sized, or blisters. If left untreated, the infection can progress to become pustules.

The pustules are the size of grains to mung beans. The blister fluid is viscous and often settles at the bottom of the blister to form pus accumulation. The pus wall is very weak and easy to rupture, revealing the erosive surface, which forms a depressed scar after healing. Pustular acne not only grows on the face, but also often appears on the chest and back, seriously affecting normal life and work.
