Dermatologists tend to put acne breakouts into grades that range from one to 4. Grade one is the mildest and grade 4 is the most serious.

A blackhead is the result of a partially blocked pore or hair follicle. A whitehead develops when the pore or follicle is absolutely blocked. Papules appear when inflammation begins but the bump has no head to it. Pustules are inflamed pimples that appear to be a red circle surrounding a white or yellow head. These stages tend to appear in every kind of acne vulgaris whether they are mild or severe.

More severe types of acne vulgaris include nodules and cysts. It is usually called nodular acne or cystic acne.
