Dr. Gan Liqiang
Severe nodulocystic acne is a relatively serious form of acne, commonly caused by localized inflammatory infection of the skin. It may also develop when acne lesions occur on the skin and are inadequately managed—leading to persistent local pain, erythema, and swelling that subsequently progress to nodular and cystic lesions. This type of acne is severe; therefore, prompt medical evaluation and treatment at a hospital are essential upon diagnosis.
