What is Nodular Acne?

Nodular acne is a severe and painful form of acne that develops deep within the skin. It appears as large, hard bumps (nodules) that may last for weeks or months and often cause inflammation, redness, and tenderness. Unlike regular pimples, nodules do not come to a head and can lead to permanent scarring if left untreated.

Causes of Nodular Acne

  • Hormonal Imbalance – Increased androgen levels stimulate excess oil production.

  • Genetic Factors – Family history of severe acne.

  • Excess Sebum and Bacteria – Deep infection causes inflammation within skin layers.

  • Stress – Triggers hormonal fluctuations that worsen acne.

  • Dietary Factors – Excess sugar, dairy, and refined carbohydrates can aggravate acne.

  • Improper Skincare – Use of pore-clogging or heavy cosmetic products.

  • Environmental Pollution – Clogs pores and increases breakouts.
