One of the many forms of acne is cystic acne, which is also called acne vulgaris. Acne cysts are usually confused for papules, are usually larger than papules, painful, inflamed, and are usually filled with pus.

People suffering from cystic acne are usually tempted to squeeze these pimples. However, this is something that is not recommended at all.
