Acne Spots -In the mildest form of acne, one typically finds only a smattering of papules which gradually appear and then disappear over time. Such papules do not develop into anything more sinister and resolve to leaving no trace of their presence. It is however much more common to find acne spots of more than one type coexisting in the same patient. In the severe form of acne the skin may be so densely covered with a seething mass of spots that the individual spots appear to coalesce to form large areas of active inflammation.
